Some folks love to live it up with fine food and wine, while others define luxury in terms of comfort. But luxury should also extend to the way an environment looks. Afterall, it\u2019s hard to feel like you\u2019re living the high life if your home has no decorative elements to please the eyes and excite the imagination. Let\u2019s talk about how a particular aspect of d\u00e9cor \u2014 custom curtains in Dallas and the fabric you choose for them\u2014 can contribute to a space that makes you feel like royalty.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Silk: Timeless Luxury<\/h2>\n<p>Many people are under the mistaken impression that there is only one type of silk, but it comes in all sorts of varieties.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Silk brocade <\/strong>is a thick material that often has real gold and silver threads woven into the fabric. It works well for a formal dining room or other spaces where you want to create a palatial feel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silk chiffon <\/strong>is billowy and lightweight. It\u2019s generally sheer enough to let some sunlight through, but it isn\u2019t so thin that it will sacrifice your privacy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silk dupioni <\/strong>has a rough texture and looks similar to taffeta. It often comes in vibrant colors and can work well with interiors that feature lots of complementary patterns and hues.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Silk charmeuse <\/strong>is slippery and satiny \u2014 it\u2019s what most people think of when they think of silk. It drapes very well and seems to almost float.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Velvet: Romantic Texture<\/h2>\n<p>Velvet is ideal if you want to create a sense of regality in your home. It drapes well and is thick enough to provide a measure of insulation against the outside elements. A velvet custom drapery in Dallas is ideal for formal spaces. It could also work well in a bedroom since it is thick enough to block out sunlight. Its texture is soft and warm, helping to create a space that feels cozy but not so casual that it loses its luxurious, romantic atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>If all-velvet curtains aren\u2019t to your taste, you might choose a patterned drape that has velvet appliques. The appliques, set against a lighter fabric, can allow velvet to fit perfectly in a home with contemporary styling and clean lines.<\/p>\n<h2>Lace: Lovely and Lightweight<\/h2>\n<p>Lace has been associated with luxury for centuries. Its delicate patterns catch the eye and add dimension to d\u00e9cor and clothing alike. If you choose to use it to dress up your windows, you may want to layer it with a thicker fabric for greater sun blockage. Or, you can hang it by itself in common areas of your home where you want to create a light feel that is both classic and contemporary.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to upgrade your home\u2019s style?
