When it comes time to choose your draperies, keep in mind that the type of fabric you choose for your window treatments will determine their durability and ease of use. You might love the look and feel of silk draperies, but since they’re not as durable as cotton, wool, or linen draperies, you might find yourself replacing them more often.
Synthetics such as acetate, polyester, nylon, and rayon are all long-lasting and easy to clean, making them great choices for draperies.
There are a few additional factors to keep in mind when choosing draperies for your home decorating project:
Lining your draperies is an extra expense, but it will protect your draperies from sun damage and present a unified look from outside your home if you choose the same colour to line all draperies.
Custom draperies are more expensive than ready-made, but you can customize them to your individual tastes.
Your draperies are a big investment in your home decorating project, so choose wisely and they will add beauty to your home for years – or at least until you’re ready to redecorate again!
