The Latest Designer Styles for Modern Drapery

For centuries, drapes have provided protection and style for our homes. The flowing fabric treatments have long been a preferred style of window covering thanks to their unique and often dramatic look and features that help maintain a more comfortable interior environment. For modern drapery, the addition of new designer aesthetics and the latest in operational designs have improved on the classic window treatment by expanding its usability and elevating its style.

Designer Fabrics for Modern Drapery

When it comes to drapery, the style, feel, and many features are all based on the fabric choice. And in the Design Studio™ fabric collection by Hunter Douglas, there are literally hundreds of fabric options from chic sheer materials to high-end embroideries. The Design Studio™ collection also includes designer prints from Rebecca Atwood, famed textile artist and author of both Living with Color and Living with Pattern.

Recently, Hunter Douglas expanded the fabric choices for their Design Studio™ suite of products to include two new lines of designer prints. Both Marcie Bronkar and Seema Krish have created lines for the Design Studio™ collection that elevate modern drapery with designer style. Bronkar’s line embodies historically significant designs reinterpreted for modern aesthetics while Krish’s line showcases global style and vibrant color play. Bronkar and Krish join Rebecca Atwood in providing their unique aesthetic to fabrics that can be used for modern drapery, enriching the choices for clients shopping the Design Studio™ collection.

High-End Upgrades for Modern Drapery

While it’s important to consider the look of modern drapery, it’s equally important to consider their functional abilities. After all, drapes need to not only look good but also perform optimally to be of true use in a space. Hunter Douglas offers multiple upgrades for modern drapery that improve the usability of the window treatment without sacrificing the aesthetics. One example is upgrading basic drapes to motorized drapes using leading-edge technology like PowerView® Automation.  Drapes with PowerView® can easily be opened or closed at the touch of a button with options for remote control or wall panel interfaces; they can also be integrated into smart home systems or controlled through the PowerView® app.

Styling Modern Drapery

Modern drapery can be styled in numerous ways to suit individual tastes, home décor, or household needs. Drapes can be styled to act as a neutral backdrop in a room or crafted to be a standout design focal point. Drapes can also be installed and used on their own as a singular treatment or used in conjunction with other window coverings. In the Design Studio™ suite of products, drapes can be easily paired with roller shades or Roman shades, and they also work with hard window coverings like interior shutters or wood blinds.
