Imprint drapes<br />

When people<br />

talk about<br />

drapes they<br />

are broaching a world<br />

of possibilities as far as<br />

texture, colour and<br />

patterns are concerned.<br />

To make a choice, it is<br />

best to try to absorb the<br />

personality of a chosen<br />

room and consider the<br />

purpose of this window<br />

dressing.<br />

A room’s personality<br />

can be recognized by<br />

the colour of the walls,<br />

the type of<br />

floor<br />

covering and<br />

the<br />

upholstery.<br />

<strong>The</strong><br />

character of<br />

the room<br />

will<br />

determine<br />

the materials<br />

and patterns<br />

to use, from<br />

classic to<br />

with your personality<br />

contemporary.<br />

In all cases, chosen<br />

fabrics must be a colour<br />

similar to or<br />

coordinated with wall<br />

colour to create a<br />

peaceful atmosphere.<br />

Never-theless, if the<br />

window is an important<br />

architectural feature<br />

you should favour<br />

contrasting fabrics to<br />

draw attention to it.<br />

Remember, drapes<br />

must also follow certain<br />

rules depending on<br />

where they will be. For<br />

example, opaque drapes<br />

should be used in a<br />

bedroom to cut out light<br />

and curious looks. In a<br />

living room, natural<br />

light should be allowed<br />

to filter through sheer<br />

drapes. <strong>The</strong> position of<br />

the sun in relation to<br />

the windows is<br />

important to consider<br />

when choosing fabric.<br />

Windows facing<br />

south receive sunlight<br />

for most of the day,<br />

affecting certain fabrics<br />

and causing the colours<br />

to fade. North facing<br />

and fabrics with warm<br />

Pale or dark, fabrics<br />

follow the seasons<br />

where<br />

fashions are<br />

concerned.<br />

For fallwinter,<br />

you<br />

can tell that<br />

designers<br />

want to inject colours<br />

and motifs into their<br />

creations making prints<br />

the<br />

hottest<br />

trend!<br />

toile de<br />
