The Color Chapters

Choosing between velvet and woven linen comes down to personal preference and the atmosphere you want to create.

Velvet brings depth and presence. The fabric has a natural weight and lustre, creating a more dressed, elevated look with structured pleats. It also has a dust-repellent quality, making it as practical as it is refined.

Woven linen offers a softer, more relaxed feel, with a subtle texture that adds depth without feeling heavy. The fabric falls naturally and lets the light move through the room in a gentle way. It is available across a range of curtain styles - from panels and Roman blinds to valances and café curtains.

Both are made to measure in our Swedish atelier - each with its own character, designed to suit different spaces and ways of living. To experience the materials at home, order our curtain swatches.

Consider how the room is used. In bedrooms, blackout lining can make a significant difference to sleep by effectively blocking out light. In living rooms or kitchens, many prefer curtains without blackout to maintain natural light and create a soft, airy feel.

A helpful approach is to combine both — a lighter curtain for daytime and a blackout option for the evening, when you want to create a more enclosed and restful atmosphere.

Dusty Pink curtains are incredibly versatile and easy to style. They sit beautifully with soft neutrals like ivory, blue, oat yellow, sand, and work just as well alongside sage green and terracotta.

Dusty pink is remarkably flexible in this way. Used as a subtle accent it adds warmth and softness without drawing too much attention, while as a more defined feature it gently frames the room and gives it a cohesive, considered feel. Either way, it never feels like too much.

Both tones bring warmth, but in different ways. Mustard is deeper and more expressive, while Oat Yellow is softer and more subdued.

Oat Yellow blends in effortlessly and creates a harmonious overall look, while Mustard adds more contrast and character. The right choice depends on how much you want your curtains to stand out in the room.

Oat Yellow often acts as a calming base in a more vibrant space. It helps tie different shades together while adding warmth without taking over.

Its muted tone allows it to pair beautifully with greens, blues, and warmer hues alike, contributing to a more balanced and cohesive overall look.

It’s about both expression and function. Roman shades create a more tailored, minimal look and work beautifully when you want to keep things simple and close to the window. Drapery panels offer a softer drape and frame the room in a more inviting way.

Both serve their purpose, and many choose to combine them to achieve a balance between practicality and a more styled, layered look.
