Custom
velvet curtains and drapes handcrafted from our luxurious velvets have romanced
our clients - homemakers and decorators alike - for as long as we can remember.
Featuring plush piles and hues ranging from daring emerald greens and sapphire
blues to subtle greys and browns, our velvet curtains are a sensational way to
bring any color story to life.
A beautiful
fusion of radiance and elegance, velvet drapes beautifully and perfectly
complements formal traditional decors. Super soft to touch, it also does a
great job at insulating against noise, light and heat.
Stylist Tip:
Being a relatively thick fabric, velvet needs more stacking room on sides. We
recommend using velvets on windows with enough stacking room on sides so they
don't block light.
Obviously,
the first advantage of using velvet curtains is the aesthetic value it gives to any room. It gives any room an air of
class and exclusivity. This is in itself a very positive thing for the people
staying in the room. We adapt ourselves to the environment we live in. People
who habitually live in messy and disorganized rooms are more than likely to
develop undesirable patterns of thinking and behavior. On the other hand,
people who stay surrounded by order and elegance stand to improve their outlook
in that direction too.
Velvet curtains are clearly very conducive accessories to use in cold weather. The thickness
and dense fibers of the cloth insulate the room against moisture and cold.
Additionally, these curtains prevent dust and harmful microscopic organisms
from entering and propagating in the room. This way, they provide protection
for people who have allergies to these substances. If you have curtains on the
walls as well, they also provide a degree of sound proofing in the room in
conjunction with carpets and rugs. It would not be possible to listen through
walls which are draped with velvet curtains.
One
disadvantage of using velvet curtains is that they tend to accumulate the dust and microscopic particles
present in the air. For this reason, frequent vacuuming may be necessary to
keep the room clean and dust free. This shouldn't be a difficult thing to do
because it is easy to just remove them from their supporting bars, lay then
flat on some surface and gently run the vacuum cleaner in the direction of the
fibers of the velvet curtain. After that they should be ready for putting back
in place.
One more
thing you have to attend to is the removal of stains. You will have to know how
to do this in a way that would not damage the velvet drapes or ruin their
texture. You should apply cloth which has been immersed in the froth of a
detergent solution, not directly in the solution itself. Gently squeeze the
stain out with hand movements directed the same way as the fibers of the cloth.
Repeat until the stain is gone then allow the fabric to dry. When completely
dried, gently comb the fibers against the grain of nap of the cloth to regain
its original texture.
As you can
see, the cons of using velvet curtains are minimal compared to the benefits
you can get by using them.
