Top Trends of 2018: Drapery

Written By Yian Q

I am so glad to see double traversing drapery gaining in popularity again. There is nothing better for bedrooms. The sheer allows for filtered privacy light during the day and the blackout drapery gives you optimal sleep. In new construction, take the opportunity to hide the hardware if possible and motorize the drapery with your home automation system for added ease of operation.

Decorative tape is showing up on both drapery and furniture like crazy. Tapes have always been a nice way to punch up simple drapery designs, but this embellishment is actually trending more so than normal right now. This simple rope tape adds texture and interest to otherwise plain panels.

The fringe trend that is showing up everywhere else is also showing up on drapery. I love accenting the bottom of a drapery panel or shower curtain with a row of fringe. It dresses things up a little without seeming too ornate.

Designing spaces you love to live in,

Since 2015, I have helped over 100 interior designers, builders, builders, and architects – from those just starting out to award-winning designers published in Architectural Digest, Luxe, and more.

My process starts with what is already true within you, then brings it to life in a way that resonates with your ideal clients.

I work with designers because they’re awesome. I’m a member of IDS (Interior Design Society) and served on the board of the Virtual Chapter. Design events I’ve attended include High Point, Vegas Market, and BOLD Summit (Business of Luxury Design).

When I’m not creating brands and websites, you can find me listening to audiobooks and going on long speed walks with friends.

I’m from Seattle and now live in New York City with my wife, Gaby.
