| There’s
nothing like a gorgeous set of draperies sweeping the floor to
set a design tone in your home. Like wallpaper and ladylike dresses,
drapes and curtains are back in a big way because of their ability
to add glamour to any room, effortlessly.
Add a finishing touch, change the look of your window with the
seasons or whenever the mood strikes you with drapery panels.
Soften harsh edges with soft floaty fabrics. Invite spring and
summer by flanking existing window coverings with sheer gauzy
draperies. Switch to heavier fabrics in fall and winter to add
a layer of insulation around windows. Dazzle your holiday guests
by framing your windows with shimmering fabrics. Top it all off
with a coordinating valance and throw pillows
Pick a look. Any look. Drapery panels can be soft and romantic
or crisp and contemporary. They can filter light through or block
light out completely. They can be pleated or billowy. Formal or
fun. They are a decorator’s secret weapon when setting a
mood, style and elegance to any window.
Roman Shades are the perfect answer for homeowners who want the
elegance of draperies but the convenient operation of blinds.
Valances add the finishing touch to your window treatments.
Top off your windows with a beautiful valance. Take a tip from
the pros and use a valance to repeat an accent color at a different
level in your rooms to lead the eye through the space. This technique
visually enlarges the room. Then add some throw pillows in the
same fabric and coordinating fabric to keep the eye moving through
the room.
