Fabric offers a wealth of opportunities for enhancing one's home décor. They lend a touch of elegance especially to the windows. Ready-made curtain panels are the norm in stores today. Usually hung from clip rings, tab-tops or a rod pocket casing, they are available in different lengths and widths to fit a variety of window sizes. Unlined and lightweight, they are the alternative to formal custom-made draperies, which are usually lined, pleated and constructed to fit the exact dimensions of a window. If draperies are not attached to the rod with rings, they are usually hung on traverse rods, allowing the panels to be opened and closed by a cord that hangs behind the fabric.
