Belgium Linen Drapery Panels
Belgium linen has to be handled very carefully. It seems as though it will wrinkle out of spite just because you LOOK at it. Ugh!
I've since learned that clients expect the imperfect finish and they like a little wrinkling.

Speckled Sheers and Flat Rods
Choose the Right Lining for Silk Drapery Panels
We used a simple lining and inter-lining to allow these silk panels to stack-back tightly when opened
but we had a different objective for the panel below.
Here we wanted to create soft, uniform pleating.
The secret to getting softly rounded folds is choosing the right lining. You won't have the same results by using the typical lining and inter-lining commonly used with soft silks.

I love the way the linen pleats cascade softly from the rod to the floor.
This room's 16 ft walls would have been cold and harsh without the talent of
Interiors by Meryem and the seamstress' and install team from The Drapery Shop.
Hope to hear from you soon.
