Drapery: From Ceiling to Floor

A set of dramatic curtains. Heavy silk or velvet drapes from an ornate valance at the ceiling, gathered on both sides with gilded cords to form large arcs, with the hem pooling on the floor; the inner layer is a thin white sheer. The valance is a carved or fabric-covered horizontal ornament with tassels, concealing the entire track. Colors are deep red, dark green, or in the same color family as the wall. Avoid: using simple modern curtains with exposed tracks, having the curtains just reach the floor without pooling, omitting the valance and tiebacks, using plain, lightweight fabrics.

一組戲劇化的窗簾。厚重的絲綢或天鵝絨從天花的雕飾簾頭垂下,兩側以貼金的繩帶束起形成大的弧形,下襬堆積在地上;內層是一片薄的白紗。簾頭是一片有雕飾與流蘇的木製或包布的橫飾,遮住整個軌道。顏色是深紅、墨綠或與牆同色系。避免:使用簡潔的現代窗簾與外露軌道、讓窗簾剛好及地不堆積、省略簾頭與綁帶、使用素面輕薄的布料。
