Designer Tips & Tactics
Drapery workroom owner, Paula Fioretti takes us inside her client’s Lake Forest, Illinois home to show how it was birthed to life using thoughtful design tactics. The master bedroom suite started with gray walls and an inspiration piece { a beautiful crystal chandelier }. The room quickly evolved by adding a black four-poster bed, night stands, artwork, crisp white linens and white drapery panels.
CURVED DRAPERY POLES
THE RIPPLE EFFECT
There are many ways to pleat draperies – French, Boxed, Inverted, Goblet, Pencil, Ripplefold, Ruffled, Tabbed, Inset, Cartridge, Smocked and Slouched – the most contemporary and tailored drapery style is Ripplefold. As seen above, Rachel Winham’s beautiful ripplefold drapery design features a soft wave pattern with perfectly-spaced folds commonly used in residential and commercial installations.
