The windows in any room can be a great focal point within
the design of your home, so you need to take into consideration the space and
existing furnishings and décor, while accentuating your windows and views. A very versatile style of window treatment is
the Swag and Jabot. With just the right amount of fabric to draw
your eye to the view, this style of treatment provides a beautiful compliment
to any room’s décor. If you are
considering Swags and Jabots for your home, here are some tips for getting them
just right!
Swags and Jabot are a great style of window treatment that will
compliment any size or type of window.
They can be customized to your taste with just about any type of fabric
from formal patterns and textures to country designs. These custom window treatments allow a good amount
of light through the window, offering a beautiful frame of fabric, while
leaving the window as open as you desire to maintain the view. They also work beautifully with all types of
shades for as much privacy as you desire. If you have a picture window or arch
window in your home and are unsure of how to decorate it, Swags and Jabots are the perfect solution!
The Swag portion of this dynamic duo, is a decorative
drapery treatment of folded fabric which hangs in a graceful curve and frames
the top of a window. And the Jabot is a
decorative vertical end of an over-treatment that usually finishes a horizontal
Swag. Consider Swags and Jabots when you
want to dress up your windows in your formal or contemporary room while
preserving views of the great outdoors.
When it comes to hanging the Swags and Jabots there are many
ways you can hang these beautiful window treatments. As shown in the photo, you can use a decorative rod that allows the fabric
to drape across it and hang down the sides.
Some homeowners like the look of a larger
pocket rod with no exposed hardware.
Other options include cornice
boards and even decorative hooks. No matter what your preference is, we can
help with all of the design, production and installation of your new Swag and
Jabot valances.
