As a frame of space, a window is the translation of architectural form from the outdoors to the interior of a home. By design, windows allowing light to come inside, and designate a view out. Custom window treatments are made to enhance the opening in a wall, with luxurious fabrics and practical functioning mechanisms. Unlike furniture and carpet, these window treatments can change in appearance to accommodate the interior decor, as well as being adjusted to meet the lighting and security needs of the homeowner. Your rooms’ decor reflects your designing style, in any area of the home, i.e. bathrooms, bedding rooms or kitchens. As the element of the design, the custom window treatments allow the beneficial light into a room, increasing the healthy attributes of natural lighting. With this versatile ability to change the lighting of a room, a window treatment compliments the remainder of the decor

Let us consider the functional purpose of Custom Window Treatments. The ability to synchronize the window treatments’ function with the changing light of the hour; for example, shades, panels and blinds can block the glaring morning sunrise, whereas sheer and shutters, filter light. The same window treatments conceal the interior room from an outside view. With a wide range of architectural window placements and designs, there are as many, if not more design styles for custom window treatments for interior design needs. For practical purposes, blinds or shutters will work better in a kitchen or bedroom window, while formal drapery panels will grace dining or living rooms. Other practical purposes are privacy and security for not only windows, but doors, which will be covered at a later time.

As the consideration of function moves to the design style of Custom Window Treatments, the texture of the panel surface and the color of the fabric tie all the room’s decor together. Either with the skill of an interior designer or from a design magazine, create a window covering with rich fabric and ease of function, to produce a pleasing window view. The importance of interior harmony in a room, is evident by producing a desirable living space. Custom Window Treatments are the key for allowing the light to come in.

The Energy Curtain is a window shade woven from a combination of textile, solar-collection and light-emitting materials.

The Energy Curtain reinterprets our familiar relation to curtains as a means of controlling the light in a room but with a conceptual twist. The curtain must be drawn shut to collect light, and the amount and duration that is drawn during the day determines how much light is collected for the night. Users must make a choice whether to open the curtain and enjoy the daylight, or to close it and save energy for later. Thus, even the mundane act of opening or closing the curtain embodies the trade-off between consuming and conserving energy. Each and every day, it requires that its users reflect and act upon this trade-off literally placing the cyclical transformation of energy into their hands.

Silk Flat Top Curtains, also known as European cuffed drapes, are hung from rings as decorative or functional panels. These curtains provide a relaxed and casual look and will work on just about any rod or pole. With the flat top style, the top of the curtain Is hemmed with a light stiffening fabric that gives some body. The silk curtain is attached to the rings of the rod with drapery pin hooks of clip rings can be used at intervals allowing the curtain to softly cup between the rings. This curtain comes standard without rings or pins. Specify your installation option. All of our flat top curtains are hand made in America and are available in hundreds of fabrics!
Features:
- Premium silk fabric
- Fabric lining
- Durable, reinforced professional stitching
- Premium quality
- Easy to install!
Curtain Lengths:
Floor Length: The curtains are positioned 1/2″ off the floor for a more traditional, tailored look. This length is best for traversing curtains. To measure for Floor Length curtains, measure from the bottom of your pole to 1/2″ above the floor.
Trouser Length: The curtains are positioned at floor level. This length is best for stationary curtains. Stationary panels are not recommended to be moved. To measure for Trouser Length curtains, measure from the bottom of your pole to floor level.
Puddle Length: The curtains have approximately 4″-8″ in length added beyond the floor. This length will set off a more dramatic look and is best for stationary panels. Stationary panels are not recommended to be moved. To measure for Puddle Length curtains, measure from the bottom of your pole to the floor. Add 4″-8″ to your length, depending on how much you want your curtains to puddle.
Silk color may vary from the sample piece received. This fabric is HAND DYED and HAND WOVEN. The colors from shipment to shipment may vary between 5% – 7%. The dye lots are only about 100 yards per batch. Hand-loom silk dupioni have weaving irregularities like SLUBS, BARRES and LOOPS. These are characteristic of the fabric and are inherent.
*All curtains are carefully crafted by efficient mechanical sewing; however, all meticulous detail is sewn by hand.
