It’s no secret that I LOVE drapes!  A big part of my business is designing and installing window treatments. You can give any room in a boost with beautiful drapes and the draperies you choose go a long way toward giving your room personality.

When designing a room there are many layers but the one that makes the biggest impact is the window treatments.  The other elements are super important too; paint, rugs, furniture,  art, and accessories but the drapes are always the icing on the cake.

What can be more lovely than volumes of beautiful fabric that add softness to a room and are functional as well if you choose to use them as your window coverings? If you prefer decorative side panels; pair them with blinds or a shade for a perfect combination. Here are a few of my favorites:

Solid Color Drapes

You can’t go wrong with classic, beautiful, solid color drapes because they are so versatile and they go with everything! They pair well with any pattern, plus you can dress them up with pretty decorative trim or band the sides or bottom with a different fabric. Here’s a good example of solid color drapes with trim on the edges. I love this look, don’t you?

There are many types of window treatments; Drapes, Roman shades, Woven Natural Shades, Silhouette Shades, Shutters, Valances, Cornice boards; but my absolute favorite are drapery panels hung on beautiful poles or rods with finials.

Hope you found a style that will work in your home. See you next time.
