Drapery Patterns Galore (Drapery patterns galore to help beautify your home)
For every home style, there are drapes that fit the decor perfectly. Style, fabric and design are key to making the best choice for each room in a home. In contemporary mode, draperies can be tabbed, pinch-pleated, swagged or any combination of these.
Attractive Drapery Patterns
Most fabric shops have a broad range of easy-to-follow drapes available for those who prefers custom made. Selecting appropriate fabric for the pattern style depends on the color scheme in the room as well as the overall room decor. Dry-cleaning drapery can be pricey. With the modern laundry appliances that can handle over-sized loads, it’s more economical to select a fabric that is washable and can be dried in a large-sized dryer.
Measuring Your Fabric
It’s important to insure that the pattern includes the exact yardage of material required for the specific window sizes. If the pattern is for a triple window, the fabric may be a bit cumbersome. In that case, a simple trick is to use the metal “tie-back” clips to hold the fabric in place before passing the fabric under the needle. Patterns for drapes use the standard window sizes. This makes configuring the amount of fabric needed simpler.

Drapery Pattern Drama
For a more dramatic effect, combine two contrasting color schemes such as solid with print. For rooms with lighter colors, darker colors in drapery fabric adds balance. The opposite is true for rooms with dark walls and carpeting. Contemporary styles blend dramatic colors with vivid designs. More traditional room decor may be enhanced by triplicating a swag with drapery panels and Austrian-style panels. Drapery patterns for Austrian-style panels are also available in most fabric shops. Though the pattern is a bit more complex, the end result is a beautiful traditional look. This look is becoming popular in many homes with floor-length windows.
