DRAPERY LINING Lining adds more fullness and body to your drapery. It also protects fabric from the harmful effects of sunlight – it’s required on silk and linen for that reason – and that will help your drapery last longer.
Linings also enhance light control, privacy, insulation and noise reduction. Choose from Insulation Lining, Blackout Lining and Privacy Lining (shown above).

DRAPERY “STACKING” CONSIDERATIONS If there is limited wall space beside your window, such as a corner, a portion of your window and your view may be covered by the drapery panel, even when fully open because there will not be room to stack off the window or door. In certain situations a one way draw may solve the issue (as shown above).
MAKE WINDOWS SEEM LARGER You can make small windows seem much larger by taking your drapery up to the ceiling or crown molding, and adding 6-10 inches to either side of your window. It’s an easy way to add drama.
