When it comes to styling the windows of your home, there’s no better way than with draperies. They personalize the look, make your space feel inviting and give your home the functional control it deserves. Interested in finding out what’s evolving in the world of design? Take a look through today’s top drapery trends…
Discover Patterns
Patterned fabrics are the perfect way to bring visual interest into a room, adding coordinated decor and color. Do you have any patterns in mind that you love, or are you on the search for something to capture your eye? Current drapery trends point to the timelessness of damasks and paisleys, the classic appeal of stripes or geometric shapes and the dynamic charm of sweeping florals.
Small Details Offer Big Results
Once you decide upon the fabrics and colors, it’s time to focus on the “smaller” details, which end up being a big part of the finished look. The way the top of the drapery is sewn, or finished off, is called the header. This extends the style you are trying to achieve. A popular example is pinch pleat, with fabrics gathered and sewn in folds. These are attached to the drapery hardware with curtain rings or drapery hooks. Another drapery trend that is always in style is the grommet header, which features metallic circles for the drapery rod to slide over. The third favorite is ripplefold, showcasing consistent rippled fabrics that moves over a specialty track. If hardware will be in view, let our design consultants help you select a look that will complement your home’s decor. Current drapery trends are favoring matte black, natural brass, gold and oli-rubbed bronze.
The Layering Effect
Much like your own wardrobe, everything works better in layers. The pieces coordinate and tie the entire look together. The same can be said of drapery. Layering drapery with other window treatments, like shades, blinds or shutters, not only offers dimension at the window, you also get a wider range of control. Drapery fabrics frame the window, while the base window covering adjusts for light control, privacy and energy efficiency.
Take a Chance on the Unexpected
An uncommon design move is sometimes exactly what you need to enhance your home. Draperies are ideal in the living room, the dining room, the bedrooms…what about other places? Draperies invite softness and elegance. What better place to have them than in spaces that need both? Your primary bathroom, the laundry room, the walk-in closet…all of these spaces are not where most people would think to add draperies. However, the end result is nothing short of fabulous.
