| When baby boomers retire over
the next 10 to 15 years, they’ll do so with unprecedented
wealth. At this point, they’ll be ready to make changes
to the look and feel of their home. As a result, they’ll
be looking for excellent quality in both product and design.
One of the main features of our "No-Seam"
wide-width sheers and laces (118") is its low upkeep.
These fabrics are made up of 100% polyester fibres and are
100% washable.
You can soak curtains in bathtubs filled with lukewarm water
and mild soap. Once the dust is removed, just ring out the
fabric, rinse off the water and, while the curtain is still
humid, hang it back on the track where it will dry and regain
its original shape. This procedure can be repeated as often
as necessary.
How long textiles will last depends in part
on their selection and on the care you give them. Here are
some hints to prolong their usefulness:
1. Keep in mind that closely woven fabrics are
more durable than loosely woven fabrics.
2. Consider the amount of sun exposure the fabrics
will receive. Silk is most vulnerable to light degradation
while acrylic and polyesters are the most resistant.
3. Rotate draperies to vary light exposure.
4. Remember that regular cleaning is important
to prolong the life of your textiles.

Tab-tops, ring-tops, tie-tops, and swags continue
to be popular because of their lighter, more airy appearance.
The decorative poles, rings and finials that
are used in these designs are becoming more and more diverse.
Our decorative sconces and brackets are used to drape scarves
in gentle, casual frames. Our stylish vertical blinds are
used as under treatments to control light and privacy. Coordinating
patterns from vertical blinds and horizontal blinds are becoming
more popular.
We even carry a line of coordinating fabric
and vertical blinds. This trend will most likely continue
and you’ll see cleaner lines and glossy metals. We will
not, however, give up comfort for hard surfaces and cold starkness.
Comfort is here to stay, at least for a while.
