Blinds and shades can create a clean look to any room, but drapery speaks a completely different language. Because you can enjoy the richness of fine fabric in a multitude of colors, textures and fibers, it can be such a fun way to express your style. Drapery is also easy to switch out if you get bored of your look or want to upgrade for entertaining or guests; you simply slip the panel off the rod and start fresh. An added feature of drapery is the variation of fabric to allow sunlight or darkness. A sheer drape can lighten up a room while a thick, opaque fabric can block out light and temperature.
