It is remarkable how fabric window treatments like draperies sheers and toppers can transform your home-but sometimes in unfortunate ways. When window treatments are done well, they can be breathtakingly dazzling, and create an ambiance unique to you and your personality. Buying window treatments is like buying a home. The more bells and whistles the more they cost.

Fabric
Fabric affects the beauty of window treatments more than any other factor. Fine material can create incredible impact. The best hand crafted draperies if made of cheap, flimsy fabric will look simply cheap and flimsy. Do not underestimate the importance of quality fabric. The cost of first quality fabric starts at about fifteen dollars a yard and up. Some go over several hundred dollars per yard. The normal range is somewhere between fifteen and forty dollars per yard. Obviously the more fabric that is used, the more the treatment will cost. What is not so obvious is that the same treatment can be made with different amounts of fabric. More fabric means deeper, richer folds and can make an otherwise average treatment look fantastic if more fabric is added to the product.

Do not automatically leave out expensive fabrics from your forethought, especially if the style of the treatment does not require a lot to be used (such as with a toppers). Also, some fabrics are wider than others and even though they are usually more expensive than narrower ones, if the treatment requires less of the wider fabric the total cost will be basically the same. The vertical repeat of a fabric will also affect how much fabric is used. But do not assume that larger repeats require more fabric in all cases. Just realize that there are many complicated reasons that the fabric will cause a sometimes-drastic change in the price.
