DRAPERIES GUIDE
choose your drapery style
We offer 8 drapery styles and 3 valances to complete your look. When selecting your drapery
style consider the décor of your space and if you want to open and close your drapery (some styles
are better suited for this). Choose a drapery style and/or valance or cornice for your window. Add depth
and dimension to your window by layering your draperies with a valance or cornice.
