4 Differences Between Curtains and Drapes

If you use the words “curtains” and “drapes” interchangeably, you’re not alone. In fact, here at Half Price Drapes we do it all the time. However, no matter how common it is for the words to give off the same meaning, the truth is that they’re not identical. Read on to learn about the differences between the two and then reach out to us for more information.

Draperies are lined curtain panels

The easiest way to think of draperies is to think about them as curtains that have lining in them. Draperies should typically be hung in pairs, though this will vary based on the size and type of window you have. In most cases, draperies are much heavier than curtains, and they can also have thermal linings or blackout linings to help darken rooms. Draperies are excellent for helping to reduce heating and cooling bills too.

Curtains also come in panels

Curtains and sheers generally come in panels too, but they’re made from much lighter fabrics. Since they are lighter and thinner, they are not going to filter out all of the light, and they won’t completely darken a room. In many cases, curtains and drapes are hung together. The homeowner can then pull back the drapes to allow some light in, but still have the privacy that curtains allow.

Then there are blinds

Now that you have a good handle on the difference between draperies and curtains, let’s move on to blinds. They are custom made to exactly fit the size of the window they’re installed in, and they hang inside the window frame. They don’t come down below the window sill at all. They can be made from a wide range of materials, including, metal, vinyl, wood, and other non-woven fabrics. They’re somewhat like shades, except for what they’re made of. Blinds come in vertical louver and horizontal louver.

The final option is shades

When you’re shopping for curtains and draperies, you’ll find options for shades too. They’re actually very similar to blinds except that they’re made from fabric. They can open by rolling around a rod, gathering together into pleats, or they can tie up. Half Price Drapes offers several cordless shade options, including cellular shades and Roman shades. Feel free to reach out to us if you need help measuring your windows for these or other window treatments.

Now is the Time to Start Thinking About Your Patio Project

If you’ve been talking about redoing your patio for years but have never gotten around to it, then this is the year. Instead of waiting until summer is halfway over before sitting down and thinking about it, get your plans ready today. This gives you plenty of time to shop around for the best materials, to find the best contractors (if needed), and to have your patio completed by the time it’s BBQ season.

Decorate specifically to your summer needs

One of the great things about designing a patio is that you don’t have to plan for it 365 days of the year. Instead, you can focus your design on just the summer months. First, ask yourself exactly how you plan to use the space and what you want to do with it. Some families want their patio to be a great place for cooking, some want to play lots of high-energy games, while others just want to relax.

Then make decisions based on what you’ll be doing. For example, if cooking is your top priority, then you’ll likely want a dining room table. Then choose seating that’s fully cushioned to ensure it’s cozy and comfortable on your patio. There are many materials that are made specifically for outdoor furniture, but at Half Price Drapes we especially recommend aluminum because it’s both very light – and thus easy to move around – but it can also stand up to rain water, salt water, and corrosion.

Create the vibe you want to

Once you’ve taken care of the factors that affect how useful the space will be, it’s time to consider how you want it to feel. Landscaping is an important part of creating an oasis that will feel comfortable and complete. If you choose to add plants in pots or planters, you can incorporate color into those pots and planters for an extra bold look. You may add some lighting to create an ambient setting, and don’t forget umbrellas and rungs to truly anchor the space.

Consider everything you’ll see

As you consider your options, remember that you’re not just thinking of what you’re adding to your patio – you’re thinking of everything that will be within your line of vision. For example, the windows that look out on your patio can be a part of the space if they’re outfitted in beautiful shades or curtains, while older window coverings can actually make the space feel dated – even though the drapes are inside the home.

Why Are Designers Recommending Roman Shades to Their Clients?

At Half Price Drapes we’re always keeping up on the latest in drapery trends. After all, it’s our business! Lately we’ve seen a lot of designers recommending Roman shades to their clients. We love these and other types of shades, so we’re on board, but we’ve also been wondering: Why are we suddenly seeing more sales in this arena? In the process of answering this question, we found out some interesting facts about Roman shades.

The origin of Roman shades

As you may have guessed, Roman shades come from ancient Rome. At the famous Roman Coliseum, shades were installed that could be spread over the seats to keep visitors safe from the hot, bright sun. Roman shades can be opened and closed within their own pleated sections. They’re so versatile that we’re not surprised they’ve survived thousands of years of changing trends in window treatments.

Roman shades aren’t your typical shades

We offer several types of shades, including our popular cordless cellular shades, but Roman shades are truly unique compared to other shades and window treatments. The most noticeable difference is that when you pull them up, they stack. The front of these shades are made entirely of fabric and they will gather or fold as they’re drawn up. When you put them side by side with blinds, the fabric used in Roman shades is better at blocking the sun on hot days and better at keeping in the heat on cold days.

There are many different looks available with these shades

Depending on the type of fabric you choose and the color or pattern selected, Roman shades can be subdued or they can be incredibly bold. Some of our clients use them in conjunction with drapes, curtains or other window treatments. The fact that there are so many options is just one of the reasons these shades are so popular.

Roman shades can be used in any room of the house

Since there are so many fabric and color options, Roman shades can be installed successfully in any room. From a child’s room to a formal dining room, the right fabric will fit anywhere. Popular choices for these shades include cotton and linen, and the colors chosen are most commonly solid colors or bold stripes. When you shop with Half Price Drapes, you can choose the color or pattern that will work best for your home!

Have You Heard About the First Retrofit Smart System for Curtains?

You’ve likely heard of curtains that work automatically. They may require you to push a button on a remote control, or a button on the wall, but they can be opened and closed without getting up and going across the room. While these may seem cool at first, there are a couple of issues with them: they’re expensive and you don’t have many options in the style or fabric of the curtains you get. A new company could be changing that for good.

This new product would work on any curtains – including the ones hung in your home right now

The best thing about this option to automate curtains is that it works on any curtains. If you’ve recently bought new drapes, then you wouldn’t have to go out and buy entirely new curtains. If you’re thinking of investing in new curtains, then you could check out the huge, affordable variety at Half Price Drapes and simply add this new automation system to the curtains you pick.

The way it works is pretty simple

You need one unit for every set of horizontal curtains you have. You then use an app on your phone to either immediately close or open the curtains, or to schedule them to open at a certain time. You can use the same network for up to 20 pairs of curtains – assuming you have a unit for each one – and have them open or close together or separately.

The way it works is that the component is installed behind your curtains, at either end of your curtain rod and in the middle hook. There’s then a wire that goes from the sides to the middle and physically pulls the curtains open or pushes them closed when you tell it to.

Unique ways this technology could be used

Of course this type of automation could be used to take care of curtains anytime you just don’t feel like getting up, but there are a lot of additional uses we can see too. For example, a handicapped person who can’t reach the curtain rod would now have a way to open and close the curtains themselves. Likewise, those curtains that are well out of your reach? For example, above a doorway? You can easily open and close them. Finally, consider how amazing of an alarm clock it would be – just tell it to open your curtains wide at 8 AM and you’ll be woken by the sun.
