How to choose drapes

Before you choose your curtain or drapery rod, you must first determine the style of drapery you want. This means that what kind of drapery heading style you prefer. Some of the drapery headings are often in a relaxed atmosphere, while others are used for more formal setting. The type of drapery heading you choose will determine which type of rod/hardware you will need. For example, if you select a high grommet drapery you cannot use it in the traditional bar to hang your draperies.
Cornices are very versatile, as shown below can be used with or without the ring, with perforated pleated blinds or any hook that can be attached to the rings. They are then added to one half drape pole. The drapery Pole may be of wood or metal. Some columns are very nice and take their own styles.
