Drapery panels frame any window style, complement outside landscapes, and express the homeowner’s personality and interior very simply by choosing design elements, i.e. drapery heading, hardware, fabric and linings which are very personal and artfully chosen.
The drapery heading is the finish at the top edge of the drapery panel. The drapery hardware completes the drapery design; defining as a work of art by incorporating beautiful ornate metals, wood stains, brushed finishes, and modern polished chrome with clear acrylic accents. Breathtaking fabrics, such as eyelet, embroidery, and incredible texture in silks, linen, velvet, and polyester blends enhance the dramatic impact. Proper lining is a valuable consideration when designing the custom panel. Interlining and Napped lining offer the best structure and couture full body for a beautiful finish and long life.
Custom Drapery Designs has been featuring a series highlighting creative, inspirational headings. We hope you may find a drapery heading which may inspire your next project.
For a less formal, modern heading, consider the inverted box pleat, open throat goblet pleat, double or triple cuffed heading, the Euro pleat with pleated swag heading, Euro pleat with mock ties, or ties looped through button holes.
The hardware selection may impact the heading with options such as drapery rings, traverse hardware with beautiful wood fascias, motorization, tiebacks (mounted vertical), ceiling hooks, medallions, wall hooks, and grommets.
We look forward to the opportunity to design drapery as a timeless work of art; considering the homeowner’s personality, budget, lifestyle, while complementing the interior and enhancing the outdoor view. Our website is www.CustomDraperyDesigns.net.
Remember to explore your options and express yourself!
