Why We’re Sew Into 'Tempest': Its rich deep purple that makes any space look regal and luxe Its subtle sheen and plush texture that accord a formal elegance Its plainness that can complement a pattern-heavy room If you love earthy tones dressed in tactile material, this velvet is for you. Wine purple tinged with black undertones works magic as the sun rays glide on the plush naps leaving brilliant trails in a million tints and shades. But drapes and roman shades in ‘Tempest’ don’t just promise a show, they also ward off unwanted light and heat efficiently. Talk about window treatments that are as high on functionality as on aesthetics! HomeSewn Wisdom: Pinch and puddle: Style 'Fizzy Cola' drapes in one of the pinch pleats heading styles with puddled trails for a tailored appeal and extravagant touch. Their embellished headers and graceful drape offer the most befitting finishing touch for the grandeur of a traditional formal space. Avoid velvet curtains in wet & humid areas: Since velvet is thick and slow to dry, avoid velvet drapery in wet zones such as kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms where you want to optimise your window's capacity to bring in light and air. Consider roman shades: If you’re dressing a small window or a compact room, try roman shades in Tempest 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 Tempest 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 Tempest 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.
