Well-chosen window dressings create warmth and to add style to any room. Curtains may be used to provide a neutral backdrop or actually be the focal point of a room. Window dressings frame the window on the inside and encapsulate the view on the outside. They must be perfectly proportioned and balanced to suit the window and room size while the design and fabric selection should reflect the personality, tastes and lifestyle of the owners. Wards can provide a very wide range of styles and designs. We specialize in window dressings consistent with the French Empire period – luxurious curtains using lavish silks and opulent fabrics to create flowing draperies trimmed with fringing and tassels. Swags and valances are both decorative and functional often covering hardware such as tracks and cords. We use very thick fabric with complete blackout, preventing all daylight from entering the room once the curtains are closed.
