Solmere's fine herringbone weave gives the surface a subtle texture without a busy pattern, so it works in kitchens, living rooms and bedrooms alike.

Without a lining the light colors filter daylight softly. Some light can still show at the edges of an inside-mounted shade; an outside mount covers more of the frame.
