Explore your Aesthetic Options

When it comes to the color and pattern of your drapery, the world is your oyster! At Sierra Verde Home Design Center, we carry the beautiful Hunter Douglas Design Studio™ fabrics with exclusive collections from designers such as Rebecca Atwood, all of which layer perfectly with Hunter Douglas window treatments. Before purchasing your drapery, consider your home's current interior design aesthetic. Do you want to spice things up with a fun pattern? Do you want to add a neutral element to an already bright and vibrant room? Do you want to add a pop of color to your windows? All these options and more are available when you shop with Sierra Verde.

Think about Length and Thickness

When shopping for drapery, a lot of the variety lies in the length and thickness of the panels you select. You can determine the thickness you need by considering how much light control or total light-blocking you want. The thicker your drapes, the less light will come through. Additionally, the length of your drapes is important to consider. Do you want your drapes to fall to the floor? Or would you rather they stop at a windowsill? The length and thickness of your drapery will directly impact its appearance and functionality, but our designers will help you find your favorite!

Start at the Top

Drapery hardware is another key component to the movement and appearance of your drapery. We carry a variety of drapery hardware in materials such as iron, wood, fabric, and more. Different types of drapery hardware will help your drapes or curtains move, some with a more timeless and traditional appearance and some with a modern, wistful feel. Whether you want your drapery pulled back often and serve more as a design element, or you plan to use your drapery for its helpful light-blocking functionality, there is a type of drapery hardware that can get the job done!
