When it comes to window dressings, sometimes it’s the simple designs that stand the test of time. The Ian Mankin Skinny Ticking Stripe Sage Roman Blind is one of those classics that is understated, versatile, and effortlessly stylish. If you’re looking for made-to-measure blinds that feel both modern and timeless, this fabric deserves a spot at the top of your list.
Why Choose Ian Mankin?
If you’ve ever shopped for fabrics, you’ll probably have heard of Ian Mankin. They’re renowned for their sustainable, British-woven textiles that balance quality with understated style. The Roman blinds in Ian Mankin’s collection at The Sewing House capture this perfectly, being relaxed, practical, and elegant without being fussy.
Ticking stripe fabrics are their signature, and for good reason. Stripes bring order and rhythm to a room, but when they’re done in soft shades like sage, they also add warmth and subtle colour when you’re trying to go for that effortlessly neutral vibe.
What Makes the Skinny Ticking Stripe Special?
The beauty of the Skinny Ticking Stripe Blinds lies in their flexibility. The slim, evenly spaced stripes add texture and interest without dominating a room. Unlike bold prints that can date quickly, ticking stripes are timeless. They’ve been a staple in British homes for centuries and still look fresh today.
The sage colourway is particularly versatile. It works beautifully in neutral schemes as a gentle pop of colour, or as part of a palette of soft greens, blues, and naturals. Whether your décor leans traditional, country cottage, or contemporary Scandi, this blind has the ability to blend right in.
Where to Use Skinny Ticking Stripe Sage Roman Blinds
One of the best things about ticking stripes is how adaptable they are. In a nursery or child’s bedroom, they bring charm and character without being overly themed (making them the perfect choice if you want a design that will grow with the room). In kitchens, they add a fresh, airy feel that complements painted cabinetry and rustic woods. And in living rooms, they provide just enough pattern to lift a neutral space without stealing the show.
Because they’re made-to-measure blinds, you also get the choice of linings. A blackout lining makes them perfect for bedrooms where sleep is a priority, while a standard lining works well in living areas where you want light but still need privacy.
Why Go Made-to-Measure?
It’s worth saying again: ready-made just doesn’t cut it. With made-to-measure roman blinds, you get precision, perfect folds, and a bespoke finish that elevates the whole look of your room. The Sewing House ensures your blind is crafted exactly to your window measurements, so there are no awkward gaps and no sagging edges; just a beautifully tailored piece that looks like it was always meant to be there.
The Ian Mankin Skinny Ticking Stripe Sage Roman Blind is proof that sometimes less really is more. Ready to bring this look into your home? Buy your made-to-measure roman blinds from The Sewing House today!
