What to Consider: How to Style Drapery Curtains for a Stunning Home Makeover

 Drapery Curtains add a layer of softness to any space, but they can also be an opportunity to showcase a particular design aesthetic. The way they're made, the color of the fabric and even the hardware all affect the overall look of a room. The type of rod they're hung on is just as important. It can make the drapes feel more formal or casual, for example. The black rod and white drapes in this living room are an ideal pairing that brings together the achromatic color palette found throughout the rest of the decor.



Drapery is an umbrella term that covers all kinds of window treatments

Drapery is an umbrella term that covers all kinds of window treatments, from curtains that pool on the floor to full-length options that swag beautifully in place. They can be hung on grommets, rings or hooks, and they're available in a variety of lengths to suit different rooms.

 A room and help block noise or drafts

They can also be used to control the amount of light that comes into a room and help block noise or drafts. Curtains can also be topped with a valance or other decorative trimming for a more polished look. And they come in all sorts of textures, colors and patterns to fit a range of decorating styles.

 A little more drama to a space

If you're looking for something to bring a little more drama to a space, you should consider choosing a style with vertical fold lines—it can instantly elongate a room and make it seem taller. This trick is one of our favorites because it's so easy to implement and it makes such a big impact on the final look.

There are many options when it comes to the color of your curtains, but you'll find that darker shades often work better in bedrooms as they add a bit more privacy to sleep spaces and can help reduce the annoying glare from TVs or computers.

Patterned drapes can be tricky to pull off but they're an excellent way to add texture and interest to a room. When selecting a pattern, it's a good idea to take into account the color schemes of other pieces in the space and try to match prints so they don't clash. This geometric cream and black pair of drapes perfectly matches the patterned print on the wall behind it.

Drapes can feature either a sheer or a heavier fabric that blocks light

In contrast to Drapery Curtains, which usually don't include a lining, drapes can feature either a sheer or a heavier fabric that blocks light. Some are made with a blackout lining for a room darkening effect when they're closed. They're typically hemmed and ready to hang, and they attach to a rod on grommets, rings or hooks.

Conclusion

Whether you're looking for something to dress up a plain space or add texture to a more bold room, these affordable designer drapes will do the job without breaking the bank. The cheapest of these designs will run you about $100 but will still give your window treatment the high-end look of a pricier option, thanks to the quality fabrics and expert hemming and fluffing that's applied before shipping.
