Carole Fabrics and Hunter Douglas

When it comes to selecting custom drapery or side panels from Hunter Douglas, Carole Fabrics is the optimal solution. With beautiful, striking fabric, this line provides a vast array of looks and designs to match any décor. 

• You can choose a simple or elegant style, layered or used alone.
• You’ll find on-trend fabrics, including exclusive patterns and looks.
• You can choose from pleated, non-pleated, and Ripplefold™ styles. 
• You can find a number of hardware options and custom finishes to round out and fully customize your final look. 

Numerous Options

With Hunter Douglas, you have the option of adding a variety of features to enhance your drapery or side panels. For example, add decorative trim such as cords, tapes, or fringes. Or choose coordinating fabric tiebacks to finish the look. If you want to keep your room very dark, add tailored lining to the fabric. And to create a coordinated look throughout the room, choose fabric by the yard for custom pillows and more. 

Benefits

With drapery and side panels, you can add depth and dimension to the window, impacting the entire look of the room. Plus, they can actually make the space feel resized, depending on how you hang them. Putting the drapery rod close to the ceiling will make the room look taller. Putting the mounting brackets about four to six inches outside of the window frame will allow you to fully open the drapery, which will make the window appear wider. And if the drapery puddles on the floor or hangs just about it, the room will seem longer. On top of that, you can add valances or cornices to draw the eye upward—and to create that extra height while also covering the drapery rod. No matter your goal, drapery can help you get there.
