Draperies will add depth to your design, complement your existing decor, and provide solutions. Here are the latest drapery trends to consider when revamping your design.

Play with Patterns

Design the Details

The smallest details make the biggest difference! Drapery included. Spend some time deciding on the little details. First, consider the hardware finish. The design world is currently loving matte black, gold, and natural or oil-rubbed bronze.

The way draperies are finished at the top and attached to the curtain rod is known as the header. This can be done with rings, drapery hooks, or grommets. Pinch pleat styling is the most popular choice, followed by grommets, and then ripplefold. For those who prefer to hide the curtain rod, ripple-fold draperies are an excellent option. These draperies attach to a specialized track, ensuring the ripples remain uniform even when drawn.

Layer your Treatments

One easy way to enhance your window design is by layering, a timeless drapery trend that’s likely to remain in style for years to come.

Currently, linen is a popular choice, often paired with woven shades, creating a modern, organic, and elegant look that provides a soft backdrop. Layering at the window also gives you greater control, allowing you to adjust the shades or draperies for filtered light or complete privacy.
