Lush Handcrafted Green Applique Curtain

What does the applique depict?

A tree with figures, worked in dark green on a pale mint base, sits above bands of leaf pattern. The scene is large and placed rather than repeated, so the curtain has one clear picture at its heart, with the leaf bands forming a decorative base below it.

Is the contrast soft or strong?

It is clear but not harsh. The dark green shapes stand out well against the pale mint, so the tree and figures are easy to read from across the room, while staying within one colour family. That keeps the curtain lively without looking busy.

Which rooms does it suit?

Pale mint with dark green feels fresh and calm. It suits a bedroom, a child's room or a living room with white walls, light wood, cane and plants. It also sits well beside soft greys and whites if your decor leans cool and minimal.

What is applique?

Applique is a technique in which fabric pieces are sewn onto a base fabric to create a design. The shapes can be layered, sometimes with raw edges, and stitched in place. It adds texture and dimension, which is why the tree and figures here look raised on the cotton.

How do I cover a wide window?

Each curtain is 44 inches wide and 84 inches long, about 3.5 x 7 feet. For a window or doorway wider than that, measure the full width and plan enough curtains to hang side by side across it.

Will mine match the photo exactly?

Very nearly, but colour hues can vary slightly because screens and displays differ. Each curtain is also made by hand, so small irregularities in the figures and stitching are natural. Those differences are part of owning a handcrafted piece.
