Drapes, the Window Treatment for Blocking out Light and Locking in Temperature

Though the word ‘curtains’ is often used interchangeably with ‘drapes,’ drapes are those curtains that serve to block out light as well as cold and heat. As a window treatment, drapes tend to be made of heavier fabrics and are typically lined. Drapes almost always hang from the top of the window to the floor while curtains include styles such as valances and tiers which serve more of a decorative purpose. While drapes often have a more formal look than curtains, that doesn’t mean that they can’t be stylish. With styles featuring solid colors, classic stripe and checker patterns, as well as floral designs, at The Vermont Country Store you’ll find drapes and curtains to match every interior.
