Textured Custom Drapery & Curtains – Moorpark Blinds Shades
Texture can do big things for a decorative space, especially when you are trying to set a mood or a theme. Consider the materials and textures that you think of when dressing for an occasion – you choose different fabrics and textures depending on how formal the occasion.
The same rule of thumb applies in selecting your draperies and curtains for your window treatments: think of a rich velvet or a heavy-weighted silk for a formal setting. If you’d like a more understated option, rayons or a cotton sateen may be the route to take. To accomplish more of a casual look or feel, you might consider a crinkled texture, or perhaps a linen. If the look you are aiming for is neutral, a timeless and crisp look can always be achieved with cotton, wool, or blends of either.
Color in Custom Drapery & Curtains >- Moorpark Blinds Shades
One of the best ways to add big design to a room is choosing the right color scheme for your window treatments. Selecting the right color scheme will determine whether your drapes are going to blend with the decor of the room, or be the center of attention.
If you want your curtains to blend with your decor, choose a hue that is a just a couple of shades darker or lighter than the color of the walls. However, consider a complementary color scheme for draperies and window treatments when you want to make a bolder statement.
Shades of red can be cheerful, while a blue tone could be cool or serene. Golden colors are notoriously associated with the sun, so go with shades of yellows or orange for a feeling of warmth.
Prints and Patterns in Custom Drapery & Curtains – Moorpark Blinds Shades
A lack of pattern or texture in a room can cause the setting and design to fall flat. Make sure you have created a harmonious balance in your room by considering a print, texture or pattern. If your pillows, other furniture, or rugs are heavily printed, textured, or patterned, you may want your drapery and window treatments to remain solid. On the contrary, if you don’t have the boldness of a pattern or texture in your decor of the room, an excellent statement can be made by incorporating a patterned drapery, blind or shade.
Think of the size or design of the pattern of choice. Vertical stripes have the ability to give the illusion of length, so this might be a pattern of choice when you want to give lower ceilings the appearance of added height.
Length and Size in Custom Drapery & Curtains – Moorpark Blinds Shades
The length and size of your curtains or drapes are one of the many other ways that you are able to set the mood or tone of a room. There are so many statements to be made that can be achieved simply using the length of the curtain in your room.
In drapery, those that hit the window sill or the floor at just the perfect length represent a clean and tailored look. It is classic. It is also practical in a space where you’ll frequently be adjusting the drapes, opening or closing them often. An ideal length would be just at the floor or stop a half inch above the floor.
The most popular style found in homes right now would be curtains or drapes that fall onto the floor and extend by as many as three inches. The look can create a more relaxed feeling, yet still be clean and tailored
To accomplish drama or romance through your curtains or drapes, you could choose a lush, rich fabric that extends as many as six additional inches onto the floor.
