Complementing Window Treatments and Drapery

While drapery is a fantastic choice when used on its own as a window covering, it can also be a powerful tool in constructing layered window fashions. In fact, complementing window treatments and drapery can allow homeowners to not only fashion one-of-a-kind style but also expand the range of features and amenities those shades afford their household.

3 Hunter Douglas Window Treatments to Complement Your Drapes

Shutters and Drapery

We love the way the architectural lines of shutters contrast the graceful fabric of drapery. Mixing textures when it comes to layering your window treatments adds contrast and visual interest, and this variation keeps your window treatment scheme from feeling muddled together or undefined. The combination of shutters and drapery also allows you more versatility as you adjust your window treatments to balance the need for privacy at certain times of the day and openness or natural airflow at other times.

Try layering drapery with any of these 3 Hunter Douglas plantation shutters:

  • Heritance® Wood Shutters
  • Palm Beach™ Polysatin™ Vinyl Shutters
  • NewStyle® Composite Shutters

Cellular Shades and Drapery

The insulating power of layered window fashions with cellular shades and drapery is unrivaled when you pair the two together. The legendary energy savings of cellular shades are reinforced by the fabric insulation of drapery. The drapery layer not only overlays the main portion of the shade, but the drapery also covers around the edges of the cellular shade where drafts and sunlight can sneak in. Plus, both styles of treatments are compatible with PowerView® Automation. This system elevates cellular shades into motorized shades through automated scheduling features and more. As for style, the use of drapery adds an elevated layer of depth and detail with thousands of fabric choices.

  • Duette® Cellular Shades

Sheer Window Treatments and Drapery

Take the soft translucency of sheer shades as the a layer of a wider window treatment can be complemented by a top layer of rich drapery. Create a custom window fashion with a wide breadth of light control that offers a range of soft light filtration for a welcoming natural glow to light blocking abilities for room-darkening effects. When you layer sheer shades with drapes, you can get it all. The highly customizable style of Hunter Douglas fabric choices and Carole Fabrics drapery makes for even more options. Hunter Douglas makes two styles of vertical sheer window treatments that we like to pair with drapery along with a vertical option for sliding glass doors:

  • Pirouette® Sheer Shades
  • Silhouette® Sheer Shades
  • Luminette® Sheer Panels
