Why We’re Sew Into 'Picturesque': Its warm wheat beige color, embodying the soft glow of a sunlit field The glamorous appeal of its iridescent beauty The true shine and oriental touch of pure shantung silk A fabulous pure silk fabric in a mellow wheatish beige color. From afar it reminds you of lustrous mother of pearl. From close by, its silken slub feels seductively inviting. The neutral color is all understated luxury that works well wherever you wish to create an exclusive yet welcoming space. HomeSewn Wisdom: Select a formal heading style: Choose a heading style that plays to the grandeur of your silk drapery. Consider the dressy triple pinch pleats or goblet pleats for a formal traditional space, and sleeker versions like Euro pleats in more contemporary-leaning settings. Don't miss out on lining: Line your shantung silk panels to bring sumptuous volume to this delicate drapery and maximize its longevity. Choose between privacy lining and blackout lining based on the level of light control you're aiming for. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Picturesque 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 Picturesque 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 Picturesque 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.
