Goal of the project: The client recently moved in and wanted privacy at night while having lots of light during the day. 

What we recommended: Fully closing custom drapes in our Magma sustainable cotton blend fabric. Magma is made out of recycled cotton and polyester. This manufacturing technique to make yarn that consumes very little water and uses no dyes. The two-tone silver grey and white color creates an abstract marble effect. This blends well with the other grey and white colors in the room. The very light sheen on this drapery fabric gives it a more formal touch. The abstract texture of the fabric works well with a more contemporary interior. The designer rod with rings in satin nickel have ball finials. The color of the drapery hardware matches the satin nickel color of the chandelier.

Installation note: To keep as much light coming in during the day, the drapery panels and the rod are 12″ wider on each side of the window, to allow the panels to stack back. The drapes are fully closing to provide full privacy at night. We installed them right under the molding to increase the impression of height. Since the drapes are fully closing, we installed them 1/2″ off the floor to keep them clean.
