How to Modernize Custom Drapery
When you think of the drapery you grew up with, words like “stuffy” or “outdated” might come to mind. Fortunately, custom drapery has come a long way since then! In fact, Hunter Douglas Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapery and Side Panels feature modern patterns and chic colors that modernize the drapery industry completely. Of course, there are even more ways to modernize these window treatments.
At Betz Blinds, we’ve been working with customers in the Sioux Falls, SD, area since 1997. Our expert team has the knowledge to help you pick out the best custom drapes to make your space shine. We’re excited to share several ways you can modernize your custom drapery to go along with your other Hunter Douglas window treatments.
Update Your Custom Drapery Hardware
One of the quickest and easiest ways to modernize your custom drapery is to update the curtain hardware. Consider replacing traditional curtain rods with sleek and contemporary options. For example, minimalistic metal or acrylic rods can instantly give your drapery a modern twist. Additionally, opting for modern finials or brackets to complete the look can also add a modern feel to your drapes for an ultra-chic vibe.
Change the Hanging Style of Your Custom Drapes
The way you hang your drapery can also significantly affect how modern they look. We suggest switching from traditional rod-pocket or tab-top drapery to modern hanging styles like grommet or ripple-fold. Grommet drapery creates clean lines and a contemporary feel, while ripple-fold drapery offers a sophisticated, uniform look for a polished feel within your layout.
To make your Carole Fabrics® Custom Drapery appear more modern, consider extending the length of your custom drapes to touch the floor or even reach the ceiling. Floor-to-ceiling drapery creates a sense of height and sophistication, making your space feel larger, bolder, and grander.
Embrace Neutral Colors
Another way to achieve a modern look is to change the color palette of your custom drapery. Neutral colors like white, gray, or beige can instantly update your drapery and create a fresh, modern feel perfect for a streamlined space. These shades also work well with a wide range of decor styles and color schemes, making them versatile choices for nearly any interior design preference.
Add Patterns or Contrasting Hues with Custom Drapery
Incorporating geometric patterns is an excellent way to modernize your custom drapery since it provides visual intrigue and depth. Whether it's a subtle geometric design on a solid background or bold, oversized geometric patterns, Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapery and Side Panels from Hunter Douglas come in various styles for you to consider in your Sioux Falls home.
Do you prefer drapes without patterns? No problem! You can create a striking modern look by introducing a contrasting element. For example, if you have light-colored drapery, consider adding dark-colored edging or borders for a bold and contemporary effect that’s sure to create plenty of eye-catching appeal.
Layer Custom Drapery with Hunter Douglas Shades and Blinds
Last but certainly not least, consider layering your custom drapery with Hunter Douglas blinds or shades. Combining drapery with sleek, motorized roller shades or structured wood blinds from Hunter Douglas can help modernize your curtains and provide additional privacy, light control, and insulation.
