March 13, 2019

Whether you want to add a dramatic touch to a room or improve the look of your home overall, you can do so with custom drapes. When you choose Proctor Drapery, you'll have a wide variety of drape types, making our drapes the right choice no matter what shape a room is.

Many people are eager to pick furniture, light fixtures, and new flooring when decorating their homes. Unfortunately, selecting window treatments usually doesn't get people nearly as excited. If you think about it for a moment, the treatment you pick for a given window can greatly influence the look and feel of the room where it's located. Of course, it can also impact your view of the outdoors and the impression passers-by have when they view your home from the outside.

Custom drapes can add a dramatic touch to a room or improve the overall look of your home. Proctor Drapery offers a wide variety of drape types, making our drapes the right choice no matter what shape a room is.


In the Bedroom

If you're trying to find a window treatment that will work well in a bedroom, you have to take certain things into consideration. Your privacy and how much light you want to filter through your windows are two of the most important factors you must consider. Generally, it's wise to layer two kinds of drapes in a bedroom. This is a particularly smart move if you work nights and sleep during the day or enjoy sleeping in on the weekends.


In the Bathroom

While privacy is a concern when choosing window treatments for a bathroom, it's not the only factor that should drive your decision. You also have to find a window treatment that's resistant to mildew and that can withstand the humidity it'll be exposed to on a regular basis.


What's mildew resistant and able to withstand humidity? Custom drapes made by Proctor Drapery, of course.


In the Kitchen

Having shorter drapes than the window they're covering in the kitchen is often a good idea. This is especially good for windows above or near areas where you'll prepare or cook food on a range. Having custom drapes that don't run the full length of the windows in those areas will prevent them from getting dirty as you prep and cook meals.


In the Living Room

A living room is a space that homeowners will likely update more often than any other room. For this reason, it's vital for you to think long-term when you're picking drapes for your living room. Instead of matching your current furniture, select neutral drapes with multiple colors and room configurations so you won't have to buy new window treatments whenever you redecorate or swap out furnishings in your living room.


In the Office

If you work from home, picking the appropriate window treatment for your office is crucial. The wrong kind of drapery may allow the sunlight to creep in, which can bounce off your computer screen and impair your ability to work. If your drapery is too heavy and doesn't allow any sunlight in, it may cause you to become lethargic during hours you should be at your peak. Style and function should be your top priorities when selecting drapes for your home office.
