Velvet Drapes
Velvet drapes are another classic statement for your home. The
material is so rich and soft that it automatically draws the
attention of your guests. Velvet drapes are luxuriant and heavy
which helps keep the light out and the heat in. If you are staying
in part of the world where warmth is really needed, velvet drapes
are the best option for you. Velvet refers to the soft furry
coverings on deers antlers and velvet effect material is produced
from woven fabrics made with cotton or man made fiber such as
polyester. Velvet has a soft deep pile which feels almost furry when
you brush your hands over it and gives depth and richness to the
color with a strong contrast between light and dark. Velvet drapes
are ideal for bedrooms as once they are drawn they keep the room
completely dark. Although the material is heavy it flows like a
cascade of water.
Window Drapes
Window drapes should be such that they should keep the light and
heat outside at the same time as looking beautiful in the room.
There are various fabrics which are used for window drapes such as
cotton, silk, velvet, linen and other synthetic materials. Drapes
should be such that they should compliment the look of your room.
They should be easily washable and should require little
maintenance. Two sets of window drapes should be maintained, one for
regular use and the other for occasional use. Drapes can be ordered
from tailors who specialize in them or they can also be made at home
if you are able to sew. Drapes and blinds are as important in a home
as the furniture and lights.
