Curtains and drapes are among the most traditional types of home decor. These two window treatments are very similar. A curtain, on the other hand, is usually made of softer, lighter fabric, whereas a drape has a lining and a thicker fabric. Whatever style you choose, there are a variety of beautiful fabrics available. Some people like soft, translucent linen for a romantic appeal, but others prefer the sophistication of jewel-toned brocade. You can choose between neutrals, pastels, brights, solids, textures, and patterns.
