How Drapery Changes Everything
There’s a quiet kind of power in window treatments. They don’t shout for attention — they whisper it. The right drapery has this subtle way of finishing a space, of adding rhythm and softness, of framing light in a way that feels… intentional.
For years, my living room windows were dressed in simple Ikea curtains — functional, but never quite right. They leaned casual, even a little unfinished. When I finally replaced them with custom, ceiling-mounted drapes in a creamy linen with a soft decorative trim, the entire room exhaled. The visual clutter disappeared. Everything felt calmer, more composed — like the space finally knew who it was.
This project inspired a deep dive into all things drapery: the moods they create, the styles that define them, and the small decisions that make a huge difference. From crisp and tailored to ornamental and playful, there’s an art to choosing the right window treatment for your space — and your personality.
If you’ve ever underestimated the impact of a curtain or a shade, this one’s for you.
