At about 250 gsm it is a mid-weight fabric with enough body for neat folds. It suits living rooms, dining rooms and studies where you want soft, filtered daylight and a natural texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Ardenne Roman shade a good choice for a bedroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, with a blackout lining. On its own, linen filters light rather than blocking it. For bedrooms and nurseries, choose Thermal Blackout 250 gsm, Blackout White 150 gsm or Blackout Coffee 180 gsm. Some light can still show at the edges of an inside-mounted shade; an outside mount covers more of the frame.

Do not subtract anything: the factory deducts 3\/8 in from the headrail. Measure height from the top of the opening to the sill. The frame needs at least 2 in of depth (2 1\/2 in for motorized). Sizes run 16–98 in wide and 14–119 in high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is Composite Fabric, and which Ardenne colors offer it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComposite Fabric bonds a thin backing layer to the linen, so the shade hangs flatter, insulates a little better and filters light about as much as a light privacy lining. It adds $5 and is offered on White, Off White, Beige, Oatmeal and Eucalyptus in Plain, Flat, Pleated or Tie styles. For a dark room, add a blackout lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring help: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/measuring-instruction-for-roman-shades-blinds\"\u003eHow to measure Roman shades\u003c\/a\u003e.
