Why We’re Sew Into 'Dovecotes': Its classical ticking stripes, whose slender and steady lines render a quiet elegance that never dates Its colorless palette where pattern speaks with crystal clarity - black against white in bold, graphic contrast Its superior-quality polyester base that drapes elegantly, folds crisply, and maintains its tonal integrity over the years HomeSewn Wisdom: Tap into the versatility of the palette: Count on the versatility of Dovecotes curtains' black and white combination to blend effortlessly with any palette. Whether you lean into pastels, bold jewel tones, or calm neutrals, your curtains can be a constant when all else changes during your design experiments and major makeovers. Raise low ceilings with smart hardware placement: Use these ticking striped curtains in low-ceiling rooms to add height optically. Place the drapery pole close to the ceiling and let the drapes graze the floor, for their sweeping coverage and upward momentum to woo the eye towards the ceiling, thereby creating the illusion of a taller room. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Dovecotes 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 Dovecotes 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 Dovecotes 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.
