Designer Tips
What’s Your Drapery Style?
In today’s home, drapery treatments are the finishing touch. Like great jewelry or the perfect accessory, drapery helps complete the look for a room while enhancing the mood and conveying your personal style
- Elegant and sophisticated: Think luminous silk fabric beautifully pleated with detailed trimmings – always a classic look.
- Casual and comfortable: Envision embroidered linens and raw silk, gathered on rods with great finials – laid back style for easy everyday living.
- Clean and contemporary: Imagine bold color or soft neutral solid-colored fabrics and sheers hung beautifully on simple rods with large grommets – a reflection of today’s chic urban lifestyle.
- Warm and traditional: Picture deep, rich jewel tones on heavy woven fabrics hanging on large scale rods – evokes a European country feel.
Once you know your style, you should think about what other needs your window treatments can fulfill. Whether you need them to enhance the mood of a room, add privacy, disguise faults or increase energy efficiency in your home, our friendly design team can show you the latest in window treatment options. As always, our in-home design service is complimentary!
