Drapery fabric can have a profound effect on your Reno home. If you choose a plain and simple drapery fabric, it can create calmness and serenity in your space. If you choose a bold color, that dynamic energy will be transposed into the room as well. Have you ever walked into a room with bold color and felt the mood immediately? When you are selecting a drapery fabric for your Reno or Tahoe home, you must keep in mind how you want to feel in that room.

If you deal with a lot of unwanted stress, consider the calming nature of whites, grays, and water evoking blues and greens. If you are trying to pick up your energy, like in a game room or a place where you entertain often, you might consider bold yellow, red, orange or purple. The other factor to consider in your drapery fabric is the pattern. From solids, to textures, to prints, to wovens, all fabrics will have a different impact on the room. The style of the window treatment will also have an effect on how the material will impact the room. For example, if you select a big print, like the one displayed in the video, you have to understand what it will look like both in the open and closed positions.

Your lining choice will also affect how the drapery fabric will look. If this job were lined with blackout lining, the effect of the pattern would change. These are just some of the considerations you must think about before ordering a drapery fabric.
