And to be honest sometimes the question is pretty simple as well as at others times a picture of the situation definitely helps. There are so numerous choices in today’s market it can be overwhelming at times. A lot of homes today utilize a combination of drapery panels, pleated blinds, sheers, wooden shutters, roman shades as well as valances.   Once you have decided you desire to utilize valances as well as panels, you require not look any further you have definitely come to the right place!  Nowhere on the web shall you find a business that can help you with fabric selection, sizing questions, style questions as well as be able to manufacture as well as ship your new treatments in 7 days or less! Even if a product is already made as well as stocked at a business, it can take 5 or more days on behalf of it to get shipped. Why would you desire to buy mass produced products when on behalf of about the same price you can get window treatments made to fit your windows in upscale luxury,  designer fabrics, unique styles as well as high quality. Let’s first talk a little about styles of valances as well as rod widths. When it comes to valances, the width of rod you require can play a major part in determining which styles can as well as can not be used.  Gathered valance styles give you more flexibility when it comes to what size window treatment you shall require than a flat rod pocket style has. Since the gathered valance is gathered on the rod, the exact rod width is not so important. Fullness of an estimated all window treatments is averaged at about 2 ½ times rod width.  A lot of times you can utilize multiple valances on a rod in order to get the fullness you desire, however, this is not at all times true. You require to manufacture sure the valances when placed on the rod combined look as if its one treatment.  We have listed all of our valances as to whether inserts can be used to get a wider treatment or multiple treatments can be used on one rod.  The flat rod pocket styles are great alternatives to having board mounted valances that can cost 3 - 4 times as much.  The only concern with the flat rod style is that there should be no gathering of the rod pocket which means the width of your rod as well as the returns shall play a major part in determining whether that particular style can be used.  Depending on the style of flat rod pocket valance you are considering, some of the treatments can be made any width up to a certain size, whereas others are only available in the sizes given.  So if you have a rod width of 40” as well as 2 returns each 3”, you would require a flat rod style width of 46”. If the treatment width can't be altered as well as is only made in “lets say” a 52” width, then you could (if you have the wall space) expand the face width of your rod to 46” as well as the treatment could be used then, retain in mind 6” is on behalf of the return on each side.  http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/21/window-treatment-styles.html Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:51:06 -0400 imthebestih http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/20/curtain-and-drape-styles.html Curtains as well as Drapes Curtains as well as drapes are great sources on behalf of giving a room privacy as well as or possibly blocking light or just to give it a decorative flair.  Curtains as well as drapes come in numerous styles, lengths, fabrics as well as textures. In today’s market tab top curtains are a very popular choice on behalf of providing privacy in the evenings, letting the light in during the day as well as offering a relaxed look in today’s busy households.   Pinch pleat drapes are an icon in the window treatment industry as well as shall never go out of style.  These drapes are great on behalf of your more formal rooms. These window treatments are ordinarily used on a traverse rod as well as are opened as well as closed by a corded pulley system.  Pinch pleat drapes are usually pleated to 2 ½ to 3 times fullness.   There are of course your standard rod pocket style drape that are sources to utilize under valances, they can be tied back, opened or closed as well as offer a great look in any room . Rod pocket curtains are ordinarily made with a 1 ½” or 3” rod pocket subject to how you plan on displaying them. Normally if you are using the rod pocket panels under a valance a 1 ½” rod pocket with no header would be used.  If you plan on displaying the curtain without a valance then you would ordinarily desire a standard 3” rod pocket with a 2” header. Stationary drapery panels are again ordinarily associated with the more formal décor, since they are stationary they remain open at all times as well as aren’t ordinarily tied back. These drapery panels work best when used with a decorative pole. Lastly there's all of the new rage of grommet drapery panels.  Grommet panels are a very contemporary modern curtain that offers casual yet very stylish décor to your room.  The grommets are available in several finishes.  A decorative pole no larger than 1 3/8” should be weaved in as well as out of the grommets when hanging this treatment.      http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/20/curtain-and-drape-styles.html Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:44:59 -0400 imthebestih http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/23/fabrics-and-trims.html Fabrics as well as Trims:  When considering what fabric to utilize on behalf of your window treatments, we suggest you stop as well as survey the room the treatments are to be used in.  First as well as foremost you desire to opt on behalf of a color that is compatible as well as blends well with the rest of the décor in the room. If you have a room that has a lot of patterns as well as prints in it, you may desire to utilize a solid color on behalf of your window treatments or you may desire to consider a valance that uses two fabrics. It’s acceptable to have a few different patterns or prints in a room, especially when they are in the same color group, but adding excessive number of can manufacture the room appear cluttered.  You could utilize a solid on behalf of the predominant face fabric as well as a print fabric on behalf of the contrast. You could do the same with our rod pocket panels also using a solid color on behalf of the panels as well as have the tiebacks made in a contrasting fabric. This shall give your treatments a little pizzazz as well as may help give balance to the rest of the room. If your room is mostly solid colors then you could add some flare to the room by adding window treatments made in a beautiful print fabric. To really liven the room up you can again utilize a valance that combines two fabrics, you could endeavour using a floral on the predominant face fabric as well as a striped fabric as a contrast. And don’t forget you can at all times add a pair of matching or contrasting curtain panels to go underneath the valance on behalf of even more pattern. Today you shall find window treatments, table accessories as well as pillows made using a vast array of decorative beaded trims, fringes as well as tassels. Everywhere you look you shall see the new trend. Decorators today love adding embellishments to decor to give a room more texture as well as ambiance. Many of our products give you the option of adding trims as well as tassels should you appreciate the decorative look they offer. To pull a room together, we suggest having decorative pillows made to coordinate with your window treatments.  You can have them made in the predominant fabric that you used on the window treatment or endeavour having them made up using the contrasting fabric of your valance if you opt on behalf of a style that offers two fabrics.  Either way it shall give your room a special finishing touch.   http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/23/fabrics-and-trims.html Sat, 23 Aug 2008 23:45:23 -0400 imthebestih http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/26/layering-and-textures.html Layering as well as Textures   Okay - You desire to give your room some character, warmth as well as depth.  Here are some quick inexpensive ways to accomplish your goal.  Layering shall add warmth to a room. If a room appears cold as well as boring adding layers of fabric can turn up the “heat” as well as give the room some spice.  For example, add a rug, add cloths to the tops of tables, add pillows of different shapes as well as sizes to that boring couch as well as add accessories that have texture. Your room shall gain instant warmth. Hint: You can utilize beautiful placements under lamps. Try placing a smaller square table cloth on your table (on the diagonal) so that the corners are on each side of the table as opposed to the corners of the table – leaving the corners of the table exposed. Or endeavour crisscrossing two table runners on behalf of a different effect. If you have a favorite table cloth now, endeavour getting some bold colored fabric napkins to coordinate with your table cloth. If you have curtain panels up now that you love – endeavour adding a valance that compliments the room or add panels to the window that currently has only a valance to spice up the décor you already have! Texture will add depth to what might otherwise be considered a rather flat fabric or element.  Many of today’s fabrics are beautifully accented with texture. A certain amount of texture should be introduced in every décor.  It shall visually stimulate the eye, as well as help produce a beautiful room.   Texture can be added with materials with a “character” of their posses such as wood, wicker, tile, marble, glass, fabric and metal. It can be added with decorative embellishments such as tassels, bows, cording, as well as other trims. You can add with faux painting techniques, wallpaper as well as window treatments to name a few.    The an estimated all important part of decorating is obviously creating a atmosphere that makes you feel good as well as comfortable.  Many times we endeavour to copy a decor we see in a decorating magazine because of the fact that it looks stylish as well as later realize that the room wasn’t created so much to be lived in as it was to be looked at.  As long as you stick to what appeals to you as well as colors you enjoy, its hard to go wrong.   http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/26/layering-and-textures.html Tue, 26 Aug 2008 21:39:22 -0400 imthebestih http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/26/custom-fabric-shower-curtains.html Custom Fabric Shower Curtains   Shower curtains are a necessity on behalf of an estimated all bathrooms.  When we think of shower curtains we ordinarily think of a curtain used to retain water inside the tub. However, shower curtains play one of the an estimated all important roles when decorating a bathroom.  In an estimated all cases the shower curtain shall be the focal point of the room as well as should be thought of in the same way you would your living room drapes.

Quality definitely shall manufacture a noticeable difference on this style of drape.  The Back Tab Drape style is very refreshing as well as contemporary as well as shall work well in a modern setting or in a traditional setting.  This curtain is made to be hung on decorative rod, but is versatile in that you can hang it using the tabs or by using the rod pocket.  For the modern look this style offers, you would desire to hang it using the tabs otherwise you won’t get the look it was made to have.     http://imthebestih.friendlinkup.com/2008/08/29/back-tab-curtains.html Fri, 29 Aug 2008 23:50:46 -0400 imthebestih
