Updates for Window Fashions Too
Looking for two easy ways to update your draperies? Change the rods or add trim. These are the biggest design features you see in new fabric window treatments.
Traditionally draperies were hung on white traverse rods or brass decorative rods. Updating to iron rods or even wood rods can make a big difference. Many homes are getting new light fixtures or ceiling fans that come in the bronze or rusted iron color and we can coordinate the rods for draperies or stationary panels in these same colors. And as a bonus you have a wide selection of finials – those pieces on the end of the rods – from which to choose. I would look around your room and repeat a feature I would find in your room with the finial.
Another good way to update draperies is to add trim. We are constantly getting in new samples of trim – beads, fringes, tassels, banding, and brush fringes. These can easily be added down the center front of the panels, across the hem (if furniture is not in front of the window impeding the view of the trim), or both. These trims come in solid colors or combinations of colors.
Both of these ideas will help accent your windows and will give your room a 2010 look without the expense of starting over.
