The Art of Dressing Your Curtains

Window apparel should look good, feel good and make your home sing. Your curtains are more than just cover-ups - - - they’re the threads that knit your room together. Handmade in the UK, made‐to‐measure, stitched by real sewistas using feel‑good sustainable fabrics. In short, they’re the gentle flourish that finishes a room with purpose and personality.

1. Start with samples - - - see it, touch it, live with it


We’re big believers in playing with real fabrics before committing. That’s why Stitched invites you to order up to 8 free swatches and let your inspiration meet the material. See how it shifts through the day, feel its texture, understand its light and weight.


2. Pick a fabric with soul


We call them feel‑good fabrics for a reason: they’re not just beautiful - - - they’re eco‐consciously sourced and packed with texture and character. Whether you’re drawn to soft cotton, gentle linen‑blends, or sumptuous velvets, each tells its own story. From recycled bottles to heritage weaving.


3. Layer, texture + tactility


Stitched loves the interplay of plain textures and patterns. Think tactile plains layered with subtle stripes, or vice versa, for quiet drama. Tonal transitions, layering sheer with substantial weight, or combining warm neutrals with cool accents give your space a textural dialogue that’s both elegant and soulful.

4. Colour that feels right


Colour isn’t just decoration - - - it’s emotion. Stitched encourages using fabrics inspired by nature, travel, or memory to guide your palette. Want curtains with purpose? Let the natural light guide you:


• North-facing rooms might need warmer, richer tones to counter cooler light.


• South-facing spaces are free‑play territory - - - almost any tone works beautifully.


• East or west-facing rooms benefit from green‑blue or warm‑red undertones to suit shifting daylight.



5. Made to measure - - - fit that feels intentional


Every pair of curtains is stitched to your exact measurements. No more ill-fitting panels. This bespoke approach elevates the overall effect, ensuring light and structure in equal measure. And isn’t it satisfying when things actually fit?


6. The subtle drama of details


• Heading Style: Wave for clean, modern movement; pinch pleats for tradition; pencil pleats for pared‑back minimalism.


• Lining: Go blackout or thermal for privacy or insulation.


• Length: ‘Kiss‑the‑floor’ for a contemporary whisper, or allow modest pooling for a touch of romance.



7. The Stitched Finishing Touch


From eco-conscious sourcing to made‑in‑UK quality and attention from master sewistas - - - every curtain is crafted with intention and care. The result? Stylish, functional, sustainable window dressing that feels both intentional and effortless.
