Pick your fabric & lining combination
At www.puresilks.biz , we literally have 100's of fabrics to choose from. Most of our fabric is readily available in-store.
FORM
As a traditional pinch pleat drape, consider the fact that dark, rich fabrics like velvet, silk and chenille will drape in luminous folds while maintaining a structured form. As a grommet drape, fabrics that are lighter in weight and color tone will indeed compliment a room that promotes a calm, serene and more casual atmosphere. Alternatively, layering your drapes to mix different textures, fabrics and colors is another way to achieve a unique and personalized look.
FUNCTION
Let there be light... or not - what you need to know about lining!
The types of fabrics you choose for your window treatments will also determine how light will filter into the rooms of your home. It’s important to ask yourself what is it that you are trying to achieve with your window treatment design. If you are concerned with sunlight damaging your artwork and furniture or you would like to conserve heat and prevent drafts, then blackouts work best; these blackouts will also offer you the greatest degree of privacy.
If light filtration and privacy are not major issues, then fabrics like linens, light weight cottons/cotton blends and sheers are the answer. If you are looking for the best of both worlds, then combine fabrics to create that dramatic, but at the same time practical, layered look.
Finally, what you choose to line your drapes with will dramatically affect how much light filters through the treatment as well as how much protection the drapes provide from adverse temperatures, noise and nosy neighbours. Multi-layered lined drapes, a combination of blackout lining for instance, will offer the greatest degree of filtration and protection. Conversely, drapes with a single layer will offer minimum filtration, protection and privacy.
