 DrapesIf you have windows in your home, then you have a tremendous choice of fabrics. Choosing the right drape can help you make the window larger and the room brighter and warmer. If you mount the drapes close to the ceiling, you can even make the room feel larger and the ceiling higher. Besides cloth fabrics, some of the newer designs of drapes today include bamboo blinds, roman blinds and plantation shutters. Drapes not only offer privacy but also can keep the home warm during winter and cool during winter. One mistake people make when they buy drapes is to match them to the throw cushions. In fact, drapes go better with furniture. Even though there are many styles of readymade drapes, it is better to spend a few extra dollars and get custom designed drapes. With readymade drapes, there are many limitations such as size, colors, fabrics and styles. Since many of the new homes have high ceiling and wider windows, it is better to get custom-made drapes. If you want to feel luxurious and opulent, buy the extra-long fabric which puddle on the floor. Other creative ways to make drapes look elegant is to use innovative hardware like rods, metal, glass, ceramic, finials and tiebacks in wood. Always choose you own fabric rather than be limited by a readymade drapery. Custom made drapes will allow you to coordinate the colors so that the decor is flowing and continuous. Mind you, custom-made drapes are slightly more expensive but worth every cent. |
