Drapery Styles at Little’s Custom Blinds & Shutters

Why do we love drapes? Is it for their full, flowing style? Their ability to block light and deflect heat? Their usefulness in layered window fashions? Their striking visuals in room décor? There are so many reasons to love drapery, but finding the right drapery styles for your home can be challenging. While a great set of drapes can add refined style, textural interest and pull the room together, a bad set of drapes can drag down design aesthetically, arresting the flow in a room. So, start with high-end fabrics then add a layer of creative control to fashion drapery styles that look good and work purposefully in your home.

Drapery Fabric Styles

Fabric choice is at the heart of drapery styles. With modern advancements in textile design and contemporary artists adding their creative spin, the library of fabric options from Hunter Douglas can seem nearly limitless for drapery. Work with a design team to find your home’s aesthetic voice in the fabric world to craft one-of-a-kind window drapery styles.

Design Studio™ Fabrics

Hunter Douglas partnered with modern textile artists to create three lines of exclusive designer fabrics from Rebecca Atwood, Seema Krish and Marcie Bronkar. Their styles are translated through their unique artistic aesthetics into custom fabrics and embroideries. The designer fabrics can be fabricated into Roman Shades, roller shades, or vertical drapery in the Design Studio™ collection to create drapery styles to suit a range of discerning tastes.

Woven Wood Fabrics

Drapery styles in 2022 utilize a wide range of materials, including organically inspired weaves and textiles made from natural components like woods, reeds, grasses, and bamboo. The Provenance® collection of woven wood shades are an artisanal collection of natural fabrics from Hunter Douglas that are made with biotic components and finished with sophisticated design. These are available in classic or waterfall Roman shades, as well as full drapery.

Layered Drapery Styles

Modern drapery styles may start with the best in fabric choices, but they can be elevated with the smart use of a multi-tiered design. Layered window treatments that use drapery as a second layer have enhanced light control, better insulation, and layers of visual interest. Drapery styles used in multi-layer treatments can be partnered with several different types of base layers.

  • Sheer Shadings: Sheer materials, with their translucent airiness, bring a sense of lightness and openness to window treatments. Sheer shades make a dynamic counterbalance to full drapery when the two are used together in layered window treatments. The range of light control they offer when working in tandem covers the full spectrum from soft diffusion to blackout darkness.
  • Roller Shades: A continually favored partner for drapery in layered window shades is the roller shade. Roller shades have a streamlined profile that fits well under multiple drapery styles, and the flat front (in a solid color or print) adds a textural balance to the rich, fabric folds in drapery.
