When discussing style statements and window coverings, draperies will always come up. They are an instant way to soften a room with elegance and effortless appeal. They add dimension and can coordinate your decor seamlessly. In addition, they provide amazing light control and privacy. With all the benefits, it’s no wonder they are a go-to in interior design. Let’s explore the current drapery trends and how to incorporate them into your home.
Patterns, Please
If you love patterns, you’ll enjoy them even more at the top of the drapery trends list. Florals, stripes, paisley, and beyond are ready to shine. Bringing patterned fabrics into the space gives it personality and dimension.

It’s All in the Details
We’re sure you’ve heard that saying before. And don’t you agree? We certainly do! It’s the fine details that all together make a huge difference. Drapery details like the finish of hardware is what gives that completed look. Popular choices are matte black, gold, and natural or oil-rubbed bronze.
How the drapery attaches to the curtain rod is called the header. The header will have rings, drapery hooks, and grommets. Pinch pleat styling is the most popular. Second place are grommets and then drapery hooks and rings to follow. Because some don’t want to see the full curtain rod, ripple-fold draperies are available. They attach to a special track and keep the ripples consistent even when moved.
Layers
Like dressing for an event, the perfect cake, or window coverings…everything is better in layers. And layering draperies is a look that will never go out of style.

People are loving linen, and it’s having its moment again. Pairing it with woven shades is becoming one of the hottest drapery trends. There is a soft, delicate frame of the window with the linen joined by the organic, yet structured, woven shade shade. Together they work harmoniously. There is abundant light control–and not to mention, it looks amazing.

Another great duo are solid drapes with sheers. The side panels frame the look, while the sheer draperies cover the window while preserving the view. They invite light, but reduce glare. What could be better?
Think Outside The Box…OR Window
The fun thing about designing and furnishing your home is–it’s YOURS. It is a reflection of your personality and can be anyway you’d like. You even have the freedom to add draperies to unexpected places. What about your closet, laundry room, or primary bathroom? These rooms deserve to feature sophistication and elegance.
