Panels & Drapery
Window treatments will last for many years and serve many purposes — they keep the sun out and the warmth in; they help protect your floors, rugs and furniture from fading; they add pizzazz to any room, completing the overall design.
They can be practical too. Today’s fabrics offer room darkening drapery and options for people who work shifts such as firefighters, police, or medical staff. Also, many fabrics are stain resistant — perfect defense from kids and pets.
If you prefer a simple look, you can hang stationary drapery panels each side of the window, framing it, usually in combination with a blind or shade. Adding embellishment such as fringe or contrasting tape will change the mood of the room from formal to romantic to casual.
