This 100% cotton fabric teems with oriental themes of Mughal floral motifs and 'jharokhas' - the ornate oriel windows of classical Indian architecture. Inspired by the ancient art forms of the golden Thar desert, window dressings in this one-of-a-kind fabric will beautifully accentuate the eclectic bent of your maximalist or bohemian home. HomeSewn Wisdom: Crown with a valance: Top this stunning eclectic drapery with a board-mounted valance for an opulent finish. The contrast of its intricate details with the sharp-lined finish of a boxy pelmet will add to the allure of its exotic motifs. Don't skip lining: Bright-colored cotton may gradually fade over time when continuously exposed to the hot sun, so, be sure to add lining behind your cotton curtains and protect them from sun damage. The lining will also add more volume to the drapery panels, making them look more sumptuous and lush. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Cheriyal as a sleek and stylish alternative to curtains. They will offer you the same designer appeal as drapes without commanding any more space than the window itself. Order swatches: Screens may lie; swatches don’t. For the most accurate representation of color, pattern and texture, order a sample of the Cheriyal fabric before placing your window treatments order. This will allow you to experience the fabric in your own lighting and setting, so you can commit to it with confidence. Coordinate with accessories: For a cohesive bespoke look, coordinate your curtains with other textile accessories in the room. Order matching cushions, bed runners, table covers, etc. from us or buy Cheriyal fabric by the yard to create something uniquely yours. The Nitty-Gritty (Made Pretty): Prices are per panel, not per pair because sometimes all you need is a solo act on a narrow attic window. No forcing you to spend on two where one will do. Hardware is not included with our drapes, so please be prepared with poles, rings and other pretty little things. Each drapery panel at Sewn is handcrafted by skilled artisans from India who pour care, precision and decades of experience into every stitch.
