Measuring Windows

Drapes and curtains, while often used interchangeably, possess distinct characteristics. Drapes are typically made from heavier, more luxurious fabrics like velvet or linen, and are pleated and lined, lending a formal and elegant feel to a room. They often hang from floor to ceiling and are generally wider than the window they cover. Curtains, on the other hand, are usually made from lighter materials like cotton or polyester, and come in a wider variety of styles, from sheer and unlined to patterned and ruffled, offering a more casual and versatile window treatment.
