Fabric Edit 23 / November 4, 2026
Published November 4, 2026 / Total Issue 23
Warm Stone Family Room
Linen-toned Roman shades, oatmeal panels, and soft-white sheer light for a practical modern family room.
Design Story
The commercial neutral story works when every layer has a different texture.
Dow II Linen gives the main Romans a durable-looking woven field, Sand Dunes Oatmeal adds vertical softness as stationary panels, and Heavyweight Textured Knit Ivory deepens the palette without changing hue. Flair Soft White belongs on a separate patio door, where the sheer can soften daylight without complicating the Roman treatment.
Palette Logic
65% warm stone and linen, 20% oatmeal, 10% ivory, 5% pale oak and black metal.
Warm stone, linen, oatmeal, ivory, soft white, pale oak, and restrained black metal.
Fabric Palette
Four coordinated roles
The web article keeps the marketing story, then surfaces the technical fabric notes dealers need before recommending the look.
Roman Shade Lead
Dow II Linen
Dow II Linen keeps a broad window clean while its linen content and woven color prevent the shade from reading flat.
Material Note
110 in. width, 10.4 oz/sq yd, 92% Polyester 8% Linen. Flat, Classic, Hobbled Roman shades are available.
Oatmeal Side Panel
Sand Dunes Oatmeal
Use Sand Dunes Oatmeal as a stationary panel or drapery surface. Roman suitability is not listed in the verified table.
Material Note
118 in. width, 6.5 oz/sq yd, 90% Polyester 10% Linen.
Ivory Texture
Heavyweight Textured Knit Ivory
This ivory knit gives pillows or a small secondary treatment more body while staying inside the same warm-neutral family.
Material Note
110 in. width, 8 oz/sq yd, 100% Polyester. Flat, Classic, Hobbled Roman shades are available.
Separate Soft-White Sheer
Flair Soft White
Use Flair Soft White on a separate patio door or true drapery opening, not behind the Roman shade and side-panel treatment.
Material Note
118 in. width, 3.6 oz/sq yd, 100% Polyester. Flat, Classic, Hobbled Roman shades are available. Roman shade use requires a liner.
Dealer Script
For the reliable modern-villa look, combine linen-toned Romans with oatmeal stationary panels, then add a separate soft-white sheer only where a patio door needs daylight control.
