Why We’re Sew Into 'Marsha': Its awning stripes, whose bold and symmetrical bands shape a clean-lined aesthetic that is as modern as it is timeless Its high-contrast combination of black and white that lends sharp definition and a modern feel Its plush-piled velvet base which evokes quiet, indulgent luxury with its gentle lustre and rich texture HomeSewn Wisdom: Opt for a formal heading style: Opt for a heading style that lives up to the grandeur of velvet's plush sheen, such as the pinch pleats. Their embellished pleats, sumptuous gather, and graceful drape bring formal flair, keep rhythm with Marsha's tasteful awning stripes, and underscore the drapery's bespoke charm. Raise low ceilings with smart hardware placement: Use these awning 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 Marsha 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 Marsha 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 Marsha 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.
