Well Made Draperies Can Make All The Difference

You might be surprised by what a bit of fabric can do for a space. The right drapery picked out for an area can add so much warmth, brightness, and even coolness to a room. Drapery is used in rooms for two main reasons: To soften and define the space as well as to frame a view. Let's focus on the first reason. Installing drapery gives the opportunity to add more depth and texture to a space. Some spaces would benefit from a soft sheer material, while others might lean more towards rough linen, or perhaps even distressed velvet. When adding this fixture to a room, look around and consider what would fit the space the best and plan accordingly. If you're not entirely sure of the difference between the fabrics, here is an example:

• Sheer fabric is more feminine in nature. It is soft and flows lightly and delicately. Adding sheer fabric to a space will give it a soft, possibly romantic feel.
• Distressed velvet is somewhat of an opposite of sheer fabrics. Distressed velvet is a little more masculine in nature and will add a sense of intimacy to a room.
• Rough linen will instill a since of formality to a room and is often favored for kitchen/dining areas as well as for studies and home libraries.
