Current Trends In Soft Window Treatments

2011-10-23T12:39:00.000-06:00

Draperies are back and these are some of the current trends whether you want full functioning draperies or decorative side panels:

- Velvets are popular for panels and draperies. They add a sense of luxury because of the way the fabric catches the light.
-Sheers are popular in dramatic colors and textures. Many types of sheers are available such as iridescence and printed.
-Longer 6" pleats are popular. Double pleats are the newer trend rather than triple.
-The preferred length of draperies is with a slight break on the floor, much like the way trousers break over a shoe. The look of draperies with a slight puddle on the floor has replaced the extra-long fabric puddle on the floor.
-Very large prints on fabrics or whimsical prints like zebra stripes or giraffe spots are modern and found on many fabrics.
-Rather than swags & valances more attention is being paid to decorative hardware with rods & finials. Rods & finials are being treated like the jewelry for your draperies or panels. You can find rods & finials of metal, wood, glass, crystal and acrylic.

To add drapery panels to your windows, drop by Sheila's in Crowfoot to view the many fabric, rod & finial options. 250 Crowfoot Cres N.W. for all your Window Covering Needs!

Joanne Fabrics Earth Elements Drapery Hardware By Wesley Mancini Available at Sheila's in Crowfoot

2010-12-11T12:34:00.000-07:00

Naturally Beautiful best describes the earth elements drapery hardware collection by Wesley Mancini, designed exclusively for Joanne/J.F. Fabrics. Inspired by his extensive travels and driven by his passion for design, Wesley has created a stunning carved wood and hand threaded finial collection. Each piece has been masterfully created, drawing on inspiration from the decorative Byzantine era, rich Persian culture and 18th century artisan ceramics. Many of the highly unique hand threaded finials have been accented with a layer of netting evoking a sense of warmth, delicate intricacy and a deeply rooted connection to natural forms, further enriched by the earthy pallet of this collection. the handcrafted wood pieces have been carefully planned to display the nicks, nail marks and imperfections, therefore creating a distressed finish and giving the look of a gently aged artisan's piece.

Selecting Colors For Your Home

2010-07-09T07:02:00.000-06:00

You think you've found the perfect fabrics and colors for your new furniture, draperies or blinds when you are standing before the many fabric and blind samples in our showroom. When you later view them in your home, all of a sudden, the robin's-egg blue no longer looks blue - it's now green! What happened? This is an all too familiar incident for many people when selecting color swatches for paint, upholster, blinds, draperies etc. We have become so accustomed to color, we don't even realize how complicated it can be. We assume that color will stay constant no matter how or where we decide to use it. Light is the key since color is light. Many times we ignore light, not realizing it is more important than the color itself.

Color can be daunting to work with, offering a multitude of possibilities that can make you feel like you are playing a game of roulette to find the perfect color palette. Because of the importance of light in selecting color, it is crucial to examine the colors you are selecting in the lighting source of your own home. Color choices are often made in showrooms without ever seeing the colors in your own home. Showrooms are typically illuminated with multiple light sources. Artificial light sources never render the true color characteristics of fabrics, trims, paint, etc. Fluorescent lights generally emit reddish (warm) or bluish (cool) light that will alter the true colors. At Sheila's Window Toppers, we encourage our clients to come into the showroom for an initial consultation, then, a professional can come to your home to help you make selections for paint, window coverings and fabrics under the light of your own home.
