I love the transforming power of fabric in a room, especially in draperies, which always add warmth, texture, and beauty to a space. In the dining room below, new silk draperies soften the clients’ existing leather chairs and wood table; inverted pleats and the subtly-striped fabric keep the look tailored and clean but luxurious.

In contrast, the floral linen draperies in this family room add a riot of colour and personality to a previously non-descript room; the homeowner finds the effect uplifting and joyous. Whatever mood you want to create in a space, fabric can make a difference.
