  7. Draperies and Curtains Extremely versatile and can fit into any décor Draperies – pleated panels of fabric that cover windows completely or are pulled to the side (still cover part of it). Thick and formal. Curtains – flat fabric panels that hang to the left or right of the window and may be closed to cover the window. Light and casual.

  8. Draperies • Opaque – block light • Translucent – permits light • Decorative top = hides hardware • Lined Draperies • Blocks sunlight • Keeps draperies from fading • Makes draperies hang better • Increases insulation • Draw Draperies – open and close from the center or one side with a cord or stick • Stationary Draperies – cannot be opened or closed

  9. Types & Lengths of Curtains • Café Curtains – covers part of a window; opened by pushing them to the sides. • Sill length – rod to top of sill • Apron length - rod to bottom of window trim • Floor length – rod to floor

  10. Shades block unwanted light; can cover all or part of a window; less ventilation • Roller shades – tend to be used in informal rooms • Roman shades – fold into horizontal pleats when they are raised, but hang flat when closed.

  11. Balloon Shades – constructed of fabric; has a balloon look when raised • Pleated Shades – very popular; raised and lowered with a cord; may be opaque or translucent.

  12. Shutters Vertical treatment that hinges together to open and close much like a folding door; usually made of wood or synthetic materials. • Horizontal slats (or louvers) allow sunlight, ventilation, and privacy.

  13. Blinds • Treatments made of slats that can be tilted, raised and lowered, or moved to the side. • Can be made of wood, metal, vinyl, or fabric • Can be shaped to fit unusual shaped windows

  14. 3 basic styles of blinds: • Horizontal (venetian) Blinds -informal -control light and air • Mini Blinds – narrow; horizontal • Vertical Blinds – slats move to one side to leave a window uncovered; contemporary
