Or, would you rather close out an ugly view? All this and more can be accomplished in any home with properly selected and styled curtains and draperies. The style of the furniture can be accented with carefully selected style and material, and rooms can take their cue for furnishing from draperies or curtains. Theres great freedom of choice In the style to select as well as in lengths and widths, but there are certain rules to observe for propriety. For example, if sheer curtains are your choice, you may have them sill or floor length, but not floor and window. If theyre to be used with draperies, sheer curtains should be of the same length as the drapes. When sheer curtains are to be hung straight, youll want them full and luxurious looking, no matter the material. how inexpensive two the Make and one-hacurtains or three times the window width.

They should be re- All lated in style and materials to the ii room type in which theyre used. Most draperies are that is to the floor of the room, but if you desire an informal casual look, they may be Choose an informal material for the draperies that are to be used in informally styled rooms: chintz, cretonne, percale or toile de Jouey. More formal rooms require the traditional fabrics: rich satin, brocade, damask or moire. Modern rooms may have in them taffeta, linen, plastic materials, raw silk, novelty cotton, satin, mohair, chintz and textured fabrics. Quaint patterns in calicor, chintz or voile are good in Early American settings. If budget worries you, then consider paper or inexpensive plastic materials in appropriate patterns and textures. full-lengt- sill-lengt- en lf Aw h, h.

Glass or sheer curtains always need a heading so they will look properly finished. Give them shirring, pleating or gathering, whichever you like for the room type. Here are Facts About Tiebacks Should sheer curtains be tied back or hung back? This depends upon the style of the room. If Colonial, Early American, formal Victorian, or Eighteenth Century English, sheer curtains may be tied back to be most effective. If the room is done in Modern, let the curtains hang straight. The best height for the tieback is right below center of the window. If the curtains are tied back above the center, the window will look long and narrow. Tied too far below center they make the window look too wide. With small-panele- d windows, the tieback should be horizontal with one of the bars of the panel, so the panels are not cut down in size. Large ruffled tiebacks need to have a slit cut behind the heading of the ruffling so they can be tied properly without bunching the ruffling. Traditionally tiebacks are made of the same material as the curtain but this is not a hard and fast rule if you want to try for different effects. If, for example, you are using a chintz with sheer material, the tiebacks can be made of the chintz, or at least the heading or ruffle teamed with sheer material. How to Use Curtains Without Draperies When you want a light, airy feeling in a room, plan to use sheer curtains without the side drapes. This may be a room that is quite dark, and you want to bring in as much light as possible. Then again, if you have a room with an abundance of the rich materials, you may want the relief from such material that sheer curtains can give. Many modern rooms, full of rich color and textured effects, are good, too, with plain glass curtains, made full and hung in a straight, tailored effect Those who are worried about giving their rooms the finished look waisted, it has brief sleeves, shaped neckline, gay bow trim. Pattern with curtains without the benefit draperies, have several solutions: painted of fabric-covere- d cornices, gathered valances of the same material as the curtain or a contrasting material used elsewhere in the room, and brackets at the side of the window. For glass curtains, use sheer materials that reflect tones of white, peach, yellow or pink.
