Considering Drapes? Read This!

So you’ve installed replacement windows in your Westchester home, now you need to figure out what kind of window dressing is for you. If you are considering drapes, read our tips for making the most out of your windows.


• In order to up the drama in a room—and soften the look—cover an entire wall of windows with white sheers. Crisp sheers are also a good option if you are dealing with asymmetrical or oddly shaped windows and they instantly pull a room together.

• These days, curtains aren’t just for windows. If you love the wood window replacements in your midtown Manhattan space and don’t want to cover them up, have a drapery wall to hang art in front of for a gallery feel.

• Draperies can also stand in for walls and offer an inexpensive alternative to make two rooms out of a one in a tight space. Hang curtains on a basic hospital track to separate living and dining areas or make a home office more private.

• Make sure your draperies puddle or break—meaning they are a little longer than the distance between the floor and the rod—for a luxury look.
