Vibrant Handcrafted Red Applique Curtain

What is the bird motif like?

A large bird is worked tone on tone, deep red on red, as the placed centrepiece of the curtain. Bands of leaf pattern run around it, so the bird sits within a decorative frame and stays the clear focal point of the panel.

How do the border bands frame the bird?

The patterned bands run along the edges, giving the curtain a finished border and holding the bird in the middle. The bands carry a leaf pattern in the same deep red family, so the frame and the bird read together as one design.

Where does a red curtain look best?

Red is warm and rich, so it works as the main accent in a living room, dining area or bedroom. Pair it with cream or white walls, dark wood and brass, and keep cushions and rugs in calmer or related tones.

What is applique?

Applique is a decorative technique where fabric pieces are sewn onto a base fabric to create designs. The pieces can be layered, sometimes with raw edges, and stitched in place. It adds texture and dimension, which gives the bird here its raised outline.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash it gently with a mild detergent, wash it separately from other laundry, and dry it in the shade. Those are the care steps for this cotton applique curtain.

What size is it?

The curtain measures 44 x 84 inches, which is about 3.5 x 7 feet. Measure the width and drop of your window or door against these sizes before you order, so the bird sits at a height you like.
