Here are a few of the things we have learned about 2 story drapery.
1. If you have two sets of windows stacked on top of each other, it always looks better to extend your drapery panels all the way up. Do not divide the windows in half at the middle. This chops the window up and does not look good.
2. Do not skimp on the fabric, If you have tall windows you need to have plenty of fabric to make the drape look good,
3. Do not forget about lining the draperies. This is very important to make all your windows look good from the outside. An inner lining will add a luxurious look to your draperies.
4. Do not forget about the importance of using trims, tapes and beads on your drapery to make it very special.
Ideas to make your 2 story window treatments look magnificent!
Use beautiful fabric. Silks or fabrics that look like silk are always great. They flow well and make a statement. You can also use heavier fabrics, such as linens for a more relaxed look.
Use wonderful trims on the side panels or use nailhead trim on the cornice boards. These can be dazzling beads or crystals or even wider fabric trims that make a statement. You can use narrow or wide tapes to give your 2 story draperies a unique and inviting look.
