Bold Living Room Drapes

Combine a daring colour with elegant fabric for an unexpected look.

Designer Anne Hepfer created these drapes with a slight scoop at the bottom to add "a ballgown-like feeling." She also opted for medium-weight interlining to prevent the shades from looking heavy or lumpy, and to allow natural light to glow through the silk. Black tapered legs on the chairs and upholstered bench unify this seating area.
