Curtains & Drapes

Adding Layers of Style with Curtains and Drapes

Curtains and drapes are one of the most functional and fashionable additions to a space. They come in a wide range of materials and styles, making it easy to find one that will enhance the existing décor of your space.

Consider Light Control

Sheers

Sheers are lightweight curtain panels that allow ample light to shine through, providing a layer of style without darkening the space. Sheer curtains are often hung on a double curtain rod as an inside layer paired with a more opaque layer of curtains as well.

Semi-Opaque

When you want to add privacy without darkening the room too much, semi-opaque window curtains make a great choice. These curtains come in a wide range of colors and patterns and can be used in any room of the house.

Blackout

When you’re looking for ultimate light control, blackout curtains are the way to go. Blackout drapes provide a thick lining that completely eliminate light when they are closed, making them a great choice for bedroom curtains or for living room drapes.

Styles of Drapery Panels

Rod Pocket

Rod pocket draperies feature a stitched band across the top that slides over the curtain rod, allowing it to be gathered evenly.

Tab Top

Tab-top drapery panels feature a number of fabric tabs that slide over the curtain rod, making it easy to slide them open or closed.

Grommet

For a more contemporary, casual look, select grommet top curtains. These curtains feature a round piece of hardware that slides over the rod, resulting in an easy sliding motion that creates large pleats when open.

The window treatments in your home provide an opportunity to reinforce a bold accent color or bring a fun pattern to the décor. If you are purchasing kitchen curtains, look at the care instructions for a material that can be washed on occasion. For bathroom curtains, select a fabric that will hold up to exposure to moisture. Bedroom and living room curtains require less maintenance, providing a greater range of material options.
