SHEERS, as their name implies, are panels of sheer, almost transparent, fabric, which can be either plain or patterned. useful for filtering light They are often hung along with a pair of heavier curtains which give privacy in the evening when the lights are on.
Curtain rods Curtain rods and poles can be functional, decorative, or a combination of both. They come in many lengths, diameters and styles.
Basic rods •Basic rods are strictly utilitarian. They are made of metal or plastic and are available in various lengths. Most are adjustable. They are not as attractive as decorative rods, since they are designed to be completely hidden by the curtain heading. •Basic rods are useful when sheers and curtains are used together, Varieties of Window Dressing – Tab Top Curtains Tab top curtains are a simple panel of fabric, but instead of folding over at the top to form a tube like the rod-pocket curtain, they have rectangular loops of fabric at the top. Just slide the curtain rod through the tabs. There are four variations of the tab top curtain: 1.Basic tab – fabric loops line the top of the curtains 2.Hidden tab top curtains – the tabs can't be seen from the front 3.Button tab top curtains – each tab appears to be "buttoned" on (usually the button is just decorative and not functional) 4.Grommet tab top curtains – instead of a fabric tab, these curtains hang from the rod with large metal eyelets

ROD Dressing Windows •There are two main types of window covering: rigid and supple. Rigid window covering •used to filter light or keep it out. •If only purpose is to filter light we can choose from many options. Among them: printed "roller" blinds, PVC or aluminum Venetian blinds or fabric verticals. •When it comes to patios, family rooms or the greenhouse, the solar blanket is an interesting choice as it blocks heat in summer and cold in winter.
SUPPLE WINDOW COVERING
•Supple window coverings allow you to decorate using textiles.
•Veiling, lace, embroidery and Jacquard fabrics can all be used as window coverings. •Valences are used to delineate, decorate and soften windows dressed in rigid coverings. •Valences come in different styles. Whether home-made or bought ready- made they easily adapt to your tastes. PELMETS A pelmet is a framework placed above a window, used to conceal curtain fixtures. These can be used decoratively (to hide the curtain rod). TYPES OF PELMETS: •Plain Pelmet STIFF •Padded Pelmet PELMET •Stiff Pelmet

WINDOW BLINDS blinds that are laminated with attractive fabrics, insulating blinds or blinds made of wood, natural fibres or fabrics that are coordinated with those used on furniture or bed covers.
Insulating blinds Made of synthetic materials, they are designed to filter the sun's rays used on large windows that are exposed to the afternoon sun and which, as a result, may let in excessive heat. Wood blinds Also capable of being fitted with a roller mechanism, wood blinds are made of 1- to 2-in. slats that can be adorned with decorative tape. slats create a louvered effect. Wood blinds can be fitted with three types of roller mechanisms: string, chain or tactile,
Fabric blinds they allow more or less unhindered access to windows, and provide just the right amount of opacity. They can be divided into two categories: commercial and home-made. The first category includes the traditional fabric vertical blind which in turn includes the Serenette blind, made of differently pleated slats that provide varying degrees of transparency.
Natural-fibre blinds Roman blinds made of natural fibres. They can take on the texture of wood slats, straw, tortoiseshell or bamboo.

VALANCE
VALANCES DIFFERENT FROM PELMETS
PELME It’s so easy to confuse valances with pelmets, but they are T in fact two totally different types of window dressing. A pelmet is flat and usually has a shaped lower edge. A valance is much softer in appearance with a gathered or pleated heading. LAMBREQUINS A stiff shaped surround to a window, similar to a pelmet, but with much longer sides that can go as far down as the window sill.
LAMBREQUINS DIFFERENT FROM PELMETS
Lambrequin is similar to pelmet but lambrequin
the difference is lambrequins have much longer sides that can go as far down as the window sill.
