Pasadena Draperies

Draperies, with a rich historical legacy, have evolved from simple rags to luxurious fabrics like Belgian linen adorned with silk.

They cater to unique requirements, making them ideal for homes with extra-wide or extra-tall openings. While custom draperies can be costly, their elegance remains unparalleled.

What's the Difference Between Curtains and Drapes?

We often encounter customers curious about the differences between curtains and draperies in Pasadena. While both serve as window treatments, they have distinct characteristics that cater to various functional and aesthetic needs.

• Curtains are typically lightweight and made from a single layer of fabric. They are often unlined, allowing natural light to filter through, creating a soft, airy ambiance in the room. Curtains are available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and lengths, making them versatile for any decor style. They are usually hung on a rod with rings, grommets, or fabric tabs and can be easily opened and closed. Curtains are ideal for casual or informal settings like kitchens, bedrooms, and children's rooms.
• Draperies are more formal and substantial. They are made from heavier fabrics and are often lined to provide better insulation, light control, and privacy. The lining also adds to the drapery's durability and richness, making them a long-lasting investment. Draperies typically extend from the top of the window to the floor, and sometimes even puddle on the floor for an elegant effect. They are often pleated and hung on a traverse rod, which allows for smoother opening and closing. Draperies are perfect for living rooms, dining rooms, and master bedrooms, where a touch of sophistication is desired.

Choosing between curtains and draperies depends on your specific needs. If you’re looking for a simple, light-filtering option, curtains are your best bet.
