Let’s explore the unique features and benefits of these two popular options and how they can enhance your home's interior design.
What is Drapery?
Drapery refers to fabric panels used as window treatments, typically consisting of long, hanging fabric that can be opened or closed to cover windows. Drapery serves various purposes such as light control, privacy, and enhancing the visual aesthetics of a room. Here's why drapery is a versatile and popular choice:
- Design and Customization: Drapery offers unmatched versatility in design and customization. It can be made to fit your windows perfectly and can be layered with other window coverings like shades for added functionality or aesthetic appeal.
- Practical Purposes: In addition to light control and privacy, drapery is often chosen for its ability to enhance the visual aesthetics of a room. It can add a sense of luxury, softness, or drama to the space, coordinating with the overall decor and furnishings to create a cohesive look.
- Customization and Installation: Everhem Drapery is customized to the ⅛ of an inch and installed on a curtain rod or track, allowing for easy opening and closing of the panels. We make all our drapery with a 2x fullness, so when it’s closed, it remains looking full and luxurious.
