Drapery
When choosing between Roman shades and drapes, you must first decide what kind of style and function you want. Many people opt for drapery due to the dramatic effects it can have on the way a room feels. The long, cascading fabrics of drapes create a soft and comforting feel that is hard to match. One advantage of drapery is that you can make it span way further than the actual height of your windows to add depth. If you have a space that feels too vacant, you can have the drapery fall from above the windows, about six inches to a foot or more, in order to fill in that dead space. This can create the illusion of a larger room if you have a shorter ceiling. This technique also works well with very high ceilings since fills in more space on the walls. You can easily layer drapery in order to have sheer fabric for soft, diffused natural light while also having blackout curtains.New Paragraph
