Going Beyond With Draperies

When you consider draperies for your window treatments, you’ll no doubt be stuck with the idea of fabric curtains. These are the most common option used. That’s not a bad thing, but if you have a full length element in place, it can be a bit drab at times. If you want to make your window treatments stand out, perhaps you should focus on a few ideas that could very well change your perception of drapes in general. The following are just some of the options that you will no doubt want to consider when moving forward with this type of window treatment option.

Not Just For Windows

Before you get tied into the notion that you can only uses draperies for windows, think again. There’s a few options that you may want to consider when accentuating a room, and making things new. You could separate a walkway, an entrance, or just about any transition with drapes. Drawing this together could close off certain elements of the room, and enclose others. It’s an interesting option to place in front of an archway, for instance.

Change Up The Hardware

One option that you will no doubt want to explore when you’re looking at drapes is the hardware that you’re going to use. You don’t have to be stuck with just “one” type of hardware solution when it comes to drapes. You can have a rounded bar, a beam, or just about any other solution, so long as it holds your curtains in place. Whether you need something traditional or something that’s a bit outside of the box, this is one way to punch up the design of your treatments.

Thin Panel Design

Instead of having a long area covered by deep, dark drapes, why not go light? You could put several thinner panels in place, so that you have a semblance of natural light peering in, but not too much. The balance of natural light that you want can easily be balanced with the use of thin panels, and will no doubt help you get moving forward with the visual design that you can create with any drapery option.

Decorative Pieces (non-functional)

You don’t always have to draw curtains close, they can be set pieces. Consider drapes as a way to accent windows, rather than cover them. Pleats, with a custom fabric option could allow just about any window option to shine without having to cover up the natural light. This will help create a nice elegant update to any room, that’s for sure.
