Selecting Drapes for The Home
Picking out paint colors, drapes, and curtains for your home can be a joy to some, but a pain in the neck for other people. If you are a person who shows difficulty in deciding on colors, styles and fabrics, picking drapes alone may not be a pleasant task. Do not fret, though. Working with a professional designer can be a cost effective way to get your home the look you want without driving yourself crazy.
In fact, when we work together to choose drapes in Hanover Park, it can be fun! It is an expression of yourself and your home’s personality. The following guide should help you get started and give us a place to begin our conversation when you call.
Different Drapes for Different Rooms
Different areas of your house require different drapes. Floor length draperies and curtains can add a nice formal touch to any dining room or foyer. Floor length drapes also have a tendency to make the ceiling appear higher. A pleated drapery can be used to add a touch of elegance to your sitting room. Floor lengths are good for low traffic areas, and add a sense of grace to the room. If you have cats or young children, using a shorter drapery on windows may be a better choice!
Elements of Drapery Style
The choices for curtains truly abound. Specific styles can be found or created to go really well with the other decorations in the room . For instance, using a Cape Cod curtain in basement windows can give the window a good covering, but not look out of place like a drapery can. The Cape Cod may also be a good look for your kitchen as a simple curtain. If you are looking for romantic scenes try using bow tiebacks with drapes in the bedroom or sitting room. You can also go with a more traditional and subtle look of tab curtains in any room.
Drapery Fabrics and Colors
Personality can also be added to the room by the fabric you choose for your drapes. Fabrics can be eco friendly or fuctional, coming in a wide variety of colors and textures, as well as weights. Some of the more functional curtains can include a blackout lining that can be used to make any room completely dark. This is great for watching movies or helping you sleep in on summer mornings. Fire proof fabrics are available if you wish and eco-friendly, “green”, and organic fabrics are becoming more popluar.
Drapes are just one of many fine window treatments that will add unique style to your home.
