Why We’re Sew Into 'Metropolis': Its mix of slim and wide stripes, where simplicity and intricacy complement each other Its calm interplay of muted grays, where chartreuse yellow shines like a sliver of light Its premium polyester base that holds shape elegantly, making it ideal for all soft home furnishings HomeSewn Wisdom: Introduce color with restraint: Consider Metropolis curtains when you want to introduce vibrant accents to color-shy interiors. Their gentle streak of yellow offers a subtle spark of energy without going overboard, allowing a pop of color while staying loyal to the overarching neutral theme. Elongate low ceiling rooms: Add optical height to short windows and low-ceiling rooms by dressing the windows with these striped curtains. Their linear pattern directs the eye toward the ceiling, making the window and the room appear to be taller. Accentuate this illusive effect by positioning the drapery pole/track close to the ceiling, and letting the drapes touch the floor. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Metropolis 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 Metropolis 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 Metropolis 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.
