Drapes & Curtains |
| The difference between Drapes and Curtains
is very simple. Drapes are pleated and are more formal, whereas curtains are informal
and generally gathered. Both enhance a window with long flows of fabric. They
can be drawn back in a stationary position, or designed to open and close in a
variety of ways. |

Flipover panels (above, left) and arch-drooped drape
(above, right) are examples of stationary drapes that preserve the beauty of the
window and the view beyond. |  |
| The scrunched top (right)
is called a Rouched Header. The fabric used is quilted to provide extra fullness. |
| The
curtain treatment in the window above hangs within a recess of a bowed window,
on a special rod that curves with the line of the window. |
