Here are our top 5 steals of the moment:
PANELS
A great midcentury print that freshens a space with its white background, coordinates beautifully with wood tones and neutral walls.
***Look for these in the office scenes of Mad Men, they've used all 3 colors!
Good quality at a great price for an essential basic. Easily customized with tape trim or combined with a colorful sheer.
Too heavy? Their Casual Cotton Drapes are also a steal!
Too sheer? Add blackout lining.
Adds a casual layer of color to a pair of solid panels.
A great basic to have, for either hiding an open closet or adding a touch of luxury to a space. Various colors - our favorites? Champagne and Chocolate.
HARDWARE
Available in 3 finishes, this sleek, modern design is very chic and blends within many interior styles.
Simple, classic designs in high quality wood are especially beautiful when paired with silk curtain panels.
Slightly more traditional designs in high quality materials in a variety of finishes
An inexpensive and chic option for modern and industrial spaces, these wires can be installed to accommodate a variety of window sizes and setups. Can be hidden with a valance for a more traditional look or paired with pocket-style panels for a more streamlined version. Can be used indoor and outdoor, works well for room dividers.
KEYWORDS
*Blackout Liner - Great to use in bedrooms and areas with heavy sun
*Sheers - Can look beautiful when paired with heavier panels, allows privacy during the day
*Double Rods - Allow sheers and drapery panels to act separately.
*Panel/Hanging Types: Rings vs. Grommets vs. Pocket vs. Pinch Pleat - All have their benefits:
Rings
Slide easily across rods, can add a more decorative touch to your windows.
Grommets
Add a more industrial feel.
Pocket
Most simple style - best for stationary panels.
Pinch Pleats
A style of panel, commonly hung on hidden rings
HANGING HINTS
Try to hang your curtain rod 2"-3" below the crown molding or ceiling; this will give the illusion of higher ceilings and larger, taller windows.
