If your drapes could talk what would they say? Perhaps “Is this a dream, pinch me?”
This sun room is adorned with pinch pleated, stationary draperies. They add elegance, warmth and texture to the space. Pinch pleating is a very popular way to finish off the top of drapes. It is a timeless, traditional look. Their name “pinch” literally means that the fabric is pinched together and the pleats control the fullness keeping it even throughout the treatment. The pleats are usually attached to the rod and rings with pin hooks allowing them to be easily removed for cleaning.
Stationary (non-functional) drapes create soft elegance on a large window like the one shown here. It frames the window without taking away from the view or diminishing the light coming in. These cost less than functional drapes because you don’t need as much fabric.
Accent pillows tie the whole room together.
