Grommet Custom Drapes

Crown grommet drapery panels with grommets of 2.5” outer diameter fit well with drapery rods of 1.25” diameter. There are three finishes available for the grommets – antique brass, oil-rubbed bronze, and satin nickel. The different types of finishes allow further customized the look for the drapes as they can be matched with different types and colors of fabrics. Some mix and match could include the antique brass paired with red with red Chenille Damask for a vintage appearance or instead with the black print Donetta for a more crisper modern look. Another more neutral combination would be the Parma Pearl with either the antique brass or the oil-rubbed bronze for highlighting the other colors in the room, while giving a smooth and modern look. The Parma Pearl and the Chenille Damask are 100% polyester and will provide great insulation keeping the room at a stable temperature throughout the year.  The simplicity of the grommets make the drapery panels easy to pull closed or open at any moment.

The best size ratio for drapery panels to window is 2.5’’:1, which will let the drapes hang well and full. To get the full use of the drapes and the best compliment for the window it is best to mount the rod above the window. This will allow the drapes to be fully pulled away when unnecessary and give the room a sense of openness and space, while also making the window seem larger. The insulation provided by the drapes is also increased with the better cover of all the edges of the window and with pooling the drapes all the way to the floor.
