Window treatments are the unsung heroes of beautiful rooms, enhancing the architecture, adding color or texture, and helping create the visual structure of the space. While there are many types of window treatments that are suited to many different types of windows and interior design styles, the obvious darling of the drapery world right now is the panel.
From chic contemporary spaces to elegant transitional and updated traditional homes, panel draperies are endlessly adaptable. The simplicity of panel draperies makes them versatile, but sometimes a simple panel is just too plain, especially in luxurious interiors.
