Linen
Soft, breathable, and effortlessly beautiful. Made from 100% natural linen or linen-blend fabrics.
Why Choose Linen?
Linen brings warmth and organic texture that synthetic fabrics cannot match. Each shade has subtle slubs and natural variations — proof of authentic linen.
Breathable – Air flows through naturally. Keeps rooms feeling fresh.
Eco-Friendly – Flax requires less water and no pesticides. Biodegradable.
Timeless Style – Works with farmhouse, coastal, modern, and bohemian interiors.
Softens Light – Creates a warm, diffused glow. No harsh shadows.
Lining Options for Linen Roman Shades
| Lining | Effect | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Unlined | Maximum texture, soft light | Living rooms, dining rooms |
| Light Filtering | Privacy + softened glow | Bedrooms, home offices |
| Room Darkening | 95% light block | Nurseries, media rooms |
| Blackout | Total darkness + insulation | Shift workers, bedrooms |
💡 Adding a lining does not hide the linen's front texture. You keep the natural look with added functionality.
Where Linen Roman Shades Shine
Living Rooms – Unlined or light filtering. Soft, airy, inviting.
Bedrooms – Light filtering or room darkening lining. Cozy and private.
Kitchens – Light filtering only. Linen absorbs cooking odors less than polyester — but avoid unlined linen near grease.
Coastal Homes – Linen's natural resistance to salt air and humidity. Pairs perfectly with white and blue palettes.
Farmhouse & Modern Farmhouse – Essential material. Matte finish. Relaxed but refined.
Available Features
Cordless Operation – Lift from bottom rail. No dangling cords. Child and pet safe.
Motorized Upgrade – Battery-powered. Remote control. No wiring needed.
Custom Sizes – Made to your exact window dimensions.
Moisture Resistant Treatment – Optional. Helps repel spills and humidity. Recommended for kitchens and bathrooms.
Flame Resistant – Optional. Meets NFPA 701. For commercial or high-safety needs.
Care & Maintenance
Linen is durable but requires gentle care.
Routine – Vacuum with brush attachment weekly. Or shake outdoors.
Spot Cleaning – Blot with damp white cloth and mild soap. Never rub — linen fibers can fray.
Deep Cleaning – Dry clean only. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Sun Protection – Linen naturally resists UV fading better than cotton, but a lining adds extra protection.
Linen vs. Other Fabrics

Linen wrinkles. That is part of its charm. If you prefer crisp and perfect, choose polyester or cotton.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does linen shrink?
A: Yes. We pre-shrink all our linen fabrics before sewing. Your shade will not shrink further with normal use.
Q: Is linen blackout possible?
A: Pure linen is not blackout. Add a blackout lining to the back. The front still looks like linen.
Q: Can I use linen in a bathroom?
A: Yes with moisture-resistant treatment and light filtering or lined option. Unlined linen in high humidity may sag over time.
Q: Is linen safe for kids and pets?
A: Yes. Our linen shades are cordless as standard. No exposed lift cords.
