Why We’re Sew Into 'Dark Chalk': Its sombre blue palette that mirrors moody coastal foggy ambiance The textural depth and sheen of velvet that adds a touch of sophistication Its ability to offer a quiet dark and cosy space to unwind or rest The extraordinary sheen and plush piles of velvets have many falling for their breathtaking beauty. Combine that with the mojo of blue and you have ‘Dark Chalk’ - a stunner! While the iridescent naps render a million tints and shades of steel blue, the soft feel makes the space look very inviting and engaging. Window treatments in this flaunt-worthy fabric are also highly resistant to heat and light. HomeSewn Wisdom: Pair with statement hardware: Hang 'Dark Chalk' velvet drapes on show-worthy poles with artistic finials to complete the look on an opulent note. Pick an ornate heading style: Nod to the opulence and plush texture of velvet by opting for a tailored heading style like one of the pinch pleats. The decorative header will also serve to add visual interest to these plain grey drapes. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Dark Chalk 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 Dark Chalk 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 Dark Chalk 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.
