Large View Window Drapery Ideas


Simple side panel drapes are great for large view windows. Large rooms and large windows usually need some dressing up without detracting from a beautiful view.  Sheer linens and cottons are suitable fabrics for this kind of treatment.  I have also used a variety of linen look-alikes in polyester that avoid the fading and wrinkling associated with linen.  Many of these come in 118" widths that are perfect for oversize seameless side panels.

For a truly custom drapery, I usually add dressmaker details such as pleats, decorative ties, pleats or smocking at the top, buttons, bands and side band details.  This dresses up what could be a very dull treatment.






Interesting rods will also add such interest to the treatment. Custom iron rods, wood poles and rings, swing arm rods and decorative wood, fabric or iron cornices also add interest to a custom window treatment.















The rod in the picture above is a custom iron arrow with an iron arrow tieback to hold the panels back.  The rods fit into the western indian decor.  Note the flip top detail. This little detail takes what could be a blah panel into something special.

Fabulous Display Draperies for Sale at a Great Discount

I have recently removed the beautiful drapery displays that I put into the Design Center in Redmond OR.  The tenants decided not to continue with the center so these beautiful drapes are to be sold at  bargain, prices if you can use them. They had not even hung there for 2 months so they are brand newand ready to be enjoyed at a fraction of the regular cost.

This lovely drapery is a two layer treatment with double custom iron rods, & tiebacks.  The top panels are chenille with cartridge pleats & silk, embroidered front banding and buttons.  These panels are lined and interlined for a fabulously heavy side panel system.The under panels are silky plaid taffeta and are attached to a 2nd rod with clip on iron rings.  The rods are able to be cut down or expanded as required.  Shown with this drapery is a Tableaux fauxiron window panel.  Most likely it will not fit your window but the treatment does not require it. For that reason I have not included it into the price of the drapery.  I could also special order a faux iron panel for your window in the exacts size you need. if you want to have the completed look.
Size:
80" wide iron rods (can be cut down or added to)
Finished length of drapre is  107". Can be shortened as needed.
2 width panels are stationary side panels & do not pull across the full width of the rod..



The fauxiron panel is 36 across and 80" long. (special orders available) Not included in price of drape.
Check with me by email for pricing smint@comcast.net
We can get these installed for you.


Who do you know that might like these drapes at a truly bargain price.?
Pass this on for me please if you can think of anyone who can use them. 
I can't bear to think they would end up in storage. 

I have another Hartman and Forbes drapery .
Pictures do not do it justice.. The lighting was not good.  You need to see these in person to appreciate the fine quality woven grass cloth  & silkthat the side panels were made from.
The roman shade is also silk.  The rods are custom iron rods & rings.



The roman shade is 36" wide and 59.5"  long
The iron rod can be cut down or added to . It is 104" wide  across and the side panels are 89" long. The rod can be shortened and the panels be pushed together more if required.  A custom sized roman shade can be reordered for an extra cost.



Lots of Changes.
