Curtain Panels

Curtains or sometimes called panels are rectangular pieces of fabric available in a wide range of lengths. Some can be as short at 45" while others can be other 120". Choosing the perfect length of curtain is based on your style and look you are trying to achieve. Curtain panels are available in various fabrics, colors, and patterns. They work well in any room and can be opened or closed to give you privacy. Full-length curtain panels provide complete seclusion, protect you from the elements, and add a touch of beauty to your home. They can be hung with a standard curtain rod, grommet rod or pinch pleat depending on their design.



Valances

These are short pieces of fabric used to cover the tops of windows. They can be accented with curtain panels, swags or tiers depending on the style you are going for. Valances come in a range of styles, scalloped, tailored, layered, lace, sheer, etc. Valances add a bold look to your window without a high-end price.

Swags

This style of fabric is sophisticated, as the name implies. They're the two pieces of fabric on the left and right side of window that are cut shortest to longest inside to out. Swag pairs are accompanied by a valance and tiers to create a bold look. Swags hung with valances and tiers give a more formal appearance to your room.



Tier Curtains

Tiers just cover the bottom half of the window; they can easily blend in with the rest of your home design. They come in a variety of colors and patterns. They let you have as much light in your window as possible, giving it a lovely shine. These curtains are inexpensive and simple to install. Some homeowners will only have tiers at the bottom of their window, but they can also be installed across the top of the window or accompanied by a valance and swag giving a full bold look.

Tie Up Shades

Tie Up Shades are great for customers who want to be able to control the length of their curtain on their window. Long ties attached at the rod pocket of the tie up shade hang down and can be tied to the desired length. Tie Up Shade curtains are effective heat and cold insulators.
