The Perks of Designing with Drapery
One of the most decorative accents on windows, custom draperies and side panels are a gorgeous addition to any commercial and residential space. In fact, our Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ Side Panels and Drapery add drama, depth, and dimension to your space while framing and elongating your windows. Boasting a line of carefully crafted fabrics, including eight from New York designer Rebecca Atwood, this hand-selected collection of draperies and side panels will give any space a gorgeous upgrade. Read on to discover the many perks of designing with drapery, including exquisite fabrics, various styles, and light control.
Perk 1: Exquisite Fabrics
When it comes to finding the right window treatment for your space, the aesthetic appeal is extremely important. After all, window treatments give you a chance to showcase your personality and create a welcoming environment. That is why one of the perks of designing with drapery is their beautiful line of fabrics. Featuring luxurious basics, intriguing jacquards, stunning embroideries, lofty textures, and shimmering sheers, this line of custom window treatments will transform any space into a work of art. You can also explore the collection of performance fabrics that are designed for durability, UV protection, and stain resistance.
Perk 2: Various Styles
Another one of the perks of designing with drapery is their various styles. This allows you to tailor these window treatments to fit your exact needs. For example, our Hunter Douglas side panels come in a Two-Finger European Pinch Pleat, Two-Finger Pinch Pleat, and Grommet. On the other hand, Hunter Douglas Drapery comes in Two-Finger Pinch Pleat, Two-Finger European Pinch Pleat, and Ripplefold for a gorgeous look at each window. In need of some fullness at your windows? Ripplefold Drapery also comes with standard 2x fullness to meet this need. You can even apply finishing details with handcrafted pleats and a 4” buckrum for a consistent look.
Perk 3: Light Control
Last but certainly not least, another one of the perks of designing with drapery is their unparalleled light control capabilities. After all, a pretty shade may look nice, but a pretty shade that transforms harsh sunlight into a gorgeous glow is the better choice. In fact, all fabrics other than the sheers in this collection are fully lined with a room-darkening liner or a white light-filtering liner. This will help provide an ideal amount of light, shade, and privacy to each room. No matter your functional requirements, our Design Studio™ Side Panels and Drapery collection will help you achieve you light and privacy goals.
