Anchor a drapery
Thursday, January 15th, 2009
For an elegant but economical window treatment you can try to install matchstick blinds in a window frame and hung a pair of heavy starched white linen panels in front. Sunlight could slip through the matchstick blinds, hut when the linen drapery was drawn, the bedroom had privacy.
Neither the blinds nor the linen was costly-but both looked it because of one key detail: give the floor-length linen curtains an ultra-deep hem. A hem should be of 14 inches if your ceiling feels low, 20 inches if it’s high, or anywhere between that looks right to your eye.
