Most cotton Roman shades end in a flat tailored hem, a clean horizontal line that disappears the moment the shade is fully lowered. The Isabella Cotton Tulip Roman Shade Cord Lift ends in three sculpted pleats stitched into the bottom edge, a decorative skirt you only really see when the shade is raised. The finish … Read more
Buyers who land on the TWOPAGES Linnea Linen Cotton Embroidered Roman Shade tend to say two things in the same breath.

Picture the bathroom sash window above the sink, street-facing, six in the morning. You want light pouring in from the top inch of the glass and you want the bottom two-thirds opaque so the neighbor across the alley does not get a free show. That is the textbook brief for a top down bottom up … Read more
Most $150 cordless woven wood shades give you one cord and one direction.

The morning sun crosses the room at 7am sharp and lands directly on whatever you are cooking, eating or reading. A … Read more
South-facing bedroom window, 6:42 a.m. in early July. The sun comes over the neighbor’s roof and lands on your pillow. By noon the room is hot, by 5 p.m. the same window is the brightest social signal on the block, and by 9 p.m. the streetlight is back through the trim. One shade is being … Read more
Most pure-linen Roman shades you find ready-made are basic single-rail. The Patti Top Down Bottom Up Cordless runs the dual-rail mechanism on a 100% Belgian Linen body at 248 gsm, which makes it one of only two TDBU formats in the entire Two Pages catalog, and the only one cut from pure linen. If you … Read more
Two numbers tell most of the story before you ever open the configurator. 248 gsm of Belgian linen on the day-facing surface, and a 100% polyester sheer back layer stacked behind it on a single cordless lift.
