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 />

Pale or dark, fabrics<br />
follow the seasons<br />
where<br />
fashions are<br />
concerned.<br />

and motifs into their<br />
creations making prints<br />
