Draping Windows With Sheer:
Draping windows with sheer or net curtains has many advantages. Sheers and nets give a room daytime privacy, screen it from unpleasant views beyond the window, and at the same time let in plenty of softly diffused light. They also form a shield from the glare of the sun and lessen color fading of delicate fabrics.Windows are sometimes treated with sheer materials used as over-draperies. This is a saving in cost but is also done in expensively decorated rooms and is especially suitable where large windows exist with interesting views. In such cases soft sheer materials such as ninon, voile, and marquisette are used. The curtains may be hung straight to draw or they may be tied back. If the window proportion is suitable the top of the curtains may be hung with a sweeping overlap. Small cottage windows are also often treated in this manner, but the material is usually a heavier net or organdy. In informal rooms organdy and other crisp Textiles are often edged with large ruffles which also may be used for tie-backs and a single or double row used at the top as a valance.
