Curtains & Draperies
Having the correct window treatments depend on several factors:
- the room
- the shape of the window
- its position to the sun
- the style you prefer
- the purpose
Window treatments will last for many years and serve many purposes — they keep the sun out and the warmth in; they help protect your floors, rugs and furniture from fading; they add pizzazz to any room, completing it.
They can be practical too. Today’s fabrics offer room darkening options for people who work shifts such as firefighters, police, or medical staff. Also, many fabrics are stain resistant — perfect defense from kids and pets.
If you prefer a simple look, you can hang stationary drapery panels each side of the window, framing it, usually in combination with a blind or shade. Adding embellishment such as fringe or contrasting tape will change the mood of the room from formal to romantic to casual.
In a traditional home you may require more layers of draperies to achieve a sophisticated design. In a colder climate you may want heavier fabrics to keep the heat in. Our window treatment specialists will be there to offer ideas and solutions.
