Anatomy of Drapery Design

There is, perhaps, no finer way in which to create visual impact in a living space than through window treatments and drapery design.

Despite their potential expense, draperies dress up a room in the way that “high heels,” dress up and finish an outfit.  No design project is complete without paying careful attention to the possibilities that exist to add height, drama, warmth, depth, texture, softness, color and sex appeal.

   In addition, proper window treatment can contribute both insulation and sun protection to a space, both significant considerations in today’s “green” design world.

    Those looking for instant style need look no further than the window. Whether the concept is to hang elegant draperies, roman shades, grass shades, solar shades or a simple transparent wisp of fabric, window treatment can complement and enhance every room in the home.
