I know that it's very difficult to find beautiful, quality bedding that is ready made. Most of my customers have their comforters, bedspreads and duvet covers custom made now. You get to choose the perfect fabric for your decor, not to mention the fact that your drapery or blinds can co-ordinate with your bedding! Pillow shams and toss cushions are a must to complete your bedroom. Home Advantage Interiors specializes in custom bedding and drapery. Call (905)659-4668.

Drapery is back with a vengeance!
It seems that what goes around, comes around. Well I am here to tell you that drapery is bigger than ever! The days of California Shutters are long gone my friends. I have been replacing the cumbersome shutters with sleek, soft draperies for my clients. I still tend to do certain blinds for people. Custom Roman blinds, Hunter Douglas silhouettes,pleated shades, etc are still very much alive but dress them up with luxurious fabrics. You can't go wrong!

Silk & Polyester
I love silk. I love the crisp feel and sound of it and the way it hangs when it is sewn into drapery. It's easy to work with and stays where it is told. The only thing that I don't love about silk is the fact that it deteriorates at a quicker rate than it's polyester counterparts. For many years, polyester had a bad reputation. When you think of the 1970's, you think of polyester pants and suit jackets. Not anymore. Many top fabric companies use polyester now, whether it's a polyester blend or 100% polyester. Polyester is durable and can actually look like silk when woven properly. Don't discount man made fibers anymore, they can be a beautiful addition to any home.
I still have a love affair with silk but I have a crush on polyester now.

What are the latest styles?
The one question that I am asked the most is "What are the latest styles?"
For draperies, I always suggest either pinch pleated or roll pleated draperies. Roll pleated panels are basically for a more relaxed, contemporary look. Pinch pleats are a little more formal. What is out of style, are those tab top panels that everyone could buy at Ikea and that looked like they came from Ikea! Those are great for a college dorm room but for a home....NO! Pinch pleated sheers are still a huge hit and are timeless because they never go out of style. No one does rod pocket sheers anymore. They are not easy to open unless you have a tieback and even then, it's outdated. Priscilla sheers that cross over each other and tie back, are so outdated, even my Grandmother wouldn't have them anymore.
Now, I can not stress this enough...rod pocket valances that gathered on the 2" or 4" rods are GONE! If you still like a gathered valance, I always suggest that they are done with velcro and mounted properly on a velcro board. The most popular valance now is a box pleated valance because it is tailored and not ruffled.
Roman blinds are very popular and most likely will be for a long time. They are tailored and make a beautiful valance when they are up but block out your neighbours when they are down. They are not the least expensive to have because they are a lot of work to make but you get a valance and a blind for the same price. Wallpaper borders are not being used anymore. As a matter of fact, wallpaper is being used less and less now and so are those faux finish paint styles. Basic matt or semi gloss paint is much more popular now. It is easier on the bank account too.
Everyone is probably looking around their houses and saying "Oh, Oh, I'm out of style". These, of course, are just suggestions and people have very specific tastes but when you ask a designer "what is the latest style", you must be prepared to hear the answers...even if it hurts.
