The Loom Look: Layering Cafe Curtains & Relaxed Roman Shades with Johanna Lyle

When interior designer Johanna Lyle of Jo Lyle & Co shared her vision of pairing Cafe Curtains with Relaxed Roman shades, we were instantly sold!

Layering window treatments like this is the ultimate way to achieve an ultra-designer look right at home. Not only does it add beautiful texture and depth to your windows, but it also gives you the perfect opportunity to feature a secondary fabric.

Another benefit: pairing multiple window treatments gives you ultimate control over your lighting. For instance, you can keep the Cafe Curtains drawn for daytime privacy, while leaving the Roman Shade open to let natural light flood the room. At night, simply lower the Roman Shade for full light coverage and cozy comfort. It's a win-win!

Here is how Johanna brought this stunning space to life:

Relaxed Roman Shade Fabric: Slubby Linen Caramel

Pinch Pleat Cafe Curtain Fabric: Gingham Hay

Cafe Curtain Hardware: Oil Rubbed Bronze

Designer Tip: The Art of the Layer

Cafe Curtains are lovely on their own, but they are extra great when paired with other window treatments. For a fully covered, high-end look, layer them beneath a Relaxed Roman shade to elevate both the function and style of your room.

What we love most about this Loom Look is the opportunity to feature a second fabric in the same space. Torn between two fabrics because you love them both? This is the perfect way to showcase another beautiful pattern or texture without having to choose just one
