Choosing a drapery style for your space can be slightly overwhelming. With thousands of different drapery fabric types and styles, it can be hard to choose the perfect window treatment for your home. Before you jump into all the different ways you can style and re-energize your space with drapery, first go to the drawing board to look for curtain decor that captures your design vibe.
Once you have chosen the look you are going for, check out these six drapery ideas to help you achieve it in any space!
Drapery Idea #1: Choose the right drapery fabric that will last through any challenge
Before we jump into various drapery styles for your home, let’s start with how to choose the best type of drapery fabric that can meet your needs. Although window treatments are typically the finishing touch to a space, picking durable fabric that will last year-over-year is just as important as picking the perfect style because – let’s face it – curtains are a hassle to replace.
So what is the benefit of using performance fabric for drapery? Performance textiles are woven for maximum durability, giving the fabrics resistance against fading, stains, and mildew. Not only does this make your indoor window treatments look new season after season, it can also add a layer of protection between your indoor furniture and the natural sunlight.
Drapery Idea #2: To elongate your space, integrate floor-to-ceiling drapery
If you are going for a sophisticated look, pick an ultra-glam drapery style with floor-to-ceiling window curtains. The Shade Store has expertly mastered this drapery idea to lengthen living spaces. You can also try this tactic to make your bedroom or a small corner appear larger.

Drapery Idea #3: Think about a motorized window treatment
Unfortunately, drapery can sometimes get in the way of your lifestyle. If you have kids or pets, you know first-hand that drapery is the go-to for hide-and-seek, climbing, and tugs. Instead of constantly monitoring your windows, try a motorized option! Not only does this add a modern touch to your home, but it meets the needs for those with an active home.

Drapery Idea #4: Use eclectic, bold window treatments to energize your space
Most people stay away from eye-catching, stand-out patterns when looking for a new drapery style, but we say go for it! An eclectic drapery style is the perfect way to show off your personal style if you have a clean space filled with neutral colors or a minimalistic design.

Drapery Idea #5: Layer for an ultra-luxurious accent
One of our favorite curtain decor ideas is layering multiple contrasting or complementing curtains for a ultra-luxurious look. Layering your drapery instantly adds dimension to your space to give it more character. Try layering your drapery for a cozy fireside ambiance or to enhance your bedroom.

Drapery Idea #6: Fill your space with natural lighting by using sheer drapery
This drapery style isn’t functional for blocking sunlight fully, but rather, to let the natural sunlight filter into your room. A great space to integrate this drapery idea in is a home office to keep some natural light for a bright and energizing room.
Allowing for flow of natural lighting is a drapery idea that is sure to transform your space.
