Drapes, curtains, window treatments - They all mean the same thing - something to cover your windows. I went looking for some fun modern fabrics to accent my mid-century modern home decor. I found some absolutely gorgeous modern prints from Robert Allen Design. My favorite fabric design is Artisan Glass as pictured here. I like the warm colors and the interesting pattern that is fun but not over-powering.
I also found some uniquely modern patterns from Kravet. My favorite design here is Play Mates Chai. The geometric pattern is decidedly mid-mod and again, the neutral colors will compliment any room. When I looked at some of the drapery fabrics from Duralee, I found my favorite design in the Newport Collection - book # 2722 in Lilac.
Whatever your design of choice, you can find your drapery fabric either online or from a decorative fabric specialist in your area. If you already have a particular design in mind, a drapery fabric store can help you to find it. If you don't know what you're looking for, go in to a decorative fabric / decorator store and ask them to show you some samples. I hope you find your drapery fabric. I have found mine. Happy hunting!
A window treatment is an interior decorating element placed on, in, around, or over a window. This blog relates to curtains, drapes, shears, blinds, and decorator fabrics.

Do It Yourself Window Treatments
Curtains, drapes, shears, cornices, and shades; If you've got a vision in mind for your window treatments, it's pretty easy to make it a reality. First, choose your fabric. You can pick from vintage fabric, designer fabric, or sheets. You can even use wallpaper to cover a shade. My favorite type of textile to decorate with are vintage fabrics. Ebay is a great resource for inexpensive and unique new and vintage fabric.
For a custom cornice, you can make your own cornice board out of plywood or foamcore. Then cover it with a fun fabric, a remnant, or a sheet. A plain old shade can be transformed by covering it with some nice wallpaper.
You can sew new curtains or shears easily. Just make sure you measure your drapery fabric and leave room for the seam allowance. If you don't want to sew, use a pretty sheet and some fabric glue, decorative pins, vintage pendants, or eyelets.
