Dress up your window on a budget

Are you on a budget but still want to dress your window in luxury like a hotel or a model home?

Drapes are among the most versatile of window coverings because they come in many sizes, styles, patterns, colors and textures. With so many choices available, it’s best to select your window treatment style and materials by how well they fit with your overall design theme and style of your home.

Drapes can add that luxury high-end feeling to your room without breaking the bank. Along with beauty and elegance, they have their practical side as well. Drapes can add substantial insulation value, especially when lined. Drapes also have the ability to create the illusion of more space in a room. If you want to make your window appear larger, brackets for drapes should be placed 3” – 6” outside the frame. This will make your window look bigger and allow for more natural light to enter your room when your drapes are open. If your window is too wide, break up the space by hanging several panels across the window. They can hang straight, or be tied back in pairs. To create a sense of height in a room, hang your drapes high just below the crown molding. This will make the ceiling seem higher. You may hang drapes anywhere from right above the window frame to just below the crown molding, depending on your taste.
