Fabric on most products runs north to south (top to bottom).  Railroaded fabric runs east to west (left to right).  On specific products and fabrics such as solids, the workroom will railroad the fabric to eliminate seams.

Overlapping window treatments come in separate pieces.  This gives you great flexibility for sizing and look.  You can have a lot or a little overlap.  They are installed on Double Curtain rods, which allows you to alternate and overlap the separate pieces.

On the flat measuring is a simple concept.  When you take a gathered rod pocket drape or valance and lie it flat on a table you will be measuring the flat width.  If the flat measurement is 50″, you will typically get 25″ of window coverage when installed on the rod at 2 to 1 fullness.  Fullness is how much you gather the window treatment on the rod.

Hold down brackets are mounted at the bottom of the shade to secure the treatment on doors or in windy conditions.  Recommended for use on French doors.

Coverlets can be made to fit the bed.  In a fitted style, the corners are split and quilted gussets are sewn into the splits.  A gusset is a triangular or diamond shaped piece extra fabric that is sewn into the corners to achieve a tailored look.

Fullness is how much a window treatment is gathered on a rod.  As a rule of thumb, 2 to 1 fullness is the most common.  This simply means that to make a window treatment that covers 50″ of window, you would need 100″ of fabric.  At 3 to 1 fullness, you would need 150″ and 1.5 to 1 you would need 75″ of fabric.

A Continental Rod is a wide 2-1/2″ flat curtain rod.  A 3″ rod pocket will fit this size rod.  There are several width options and they are adjustable to fit any size window.  The return length is adjustable from 3-1/2″ to 5″.

Board Mounted Window Treatments are considered the very high end of window treatment construction. Your fabric is attached to a covered board and is sized to your exact measurements. The board itself is cover in lining material or the face fabric depending on the window treatment style.  Styles available for board mounting are valances, cornices, swags & jabots and roman shades.

When it comes to upholstered headboards, customers want advice on how high to order their headboard.  Our standard upholstered headboard is a total of 44″.  The leg is 18″ and the fabric headboard is 26″.  On the tall end, the leg is 18″ and the board is 40″ for a total of 58″.  So with such a range of choices, the best advice we can give is to consider the scale and symmetry of your room and bed size.

Let’s start with the twin upholstered headboard.  The scale of a twin bed is on the small side.  The headboard has to work with the bed(s) and its surroundings.  We believe that the standard height works well here.  Chances are that you will have two headboards in the room and you don’t want them to completely overpower the room.  You should consider adding a few inches if you plan to add a nice selection of pillows.

You should notch up the height on a full size upholstered headboard.  The width of the mattress warrants a taller board to balance the scale of the headboard.   You should consider the range of 44″ to 48″.  Think about the pillows you will add and the height of the ceiling.

For a queen size upholstered headboard, you should be looking at 50″ or more.  The bed is a bit more substantial, you will have pillow shams and more decorative pillows.  You want balance with all the other elements of the room.

King size upholstered headboards should go to the limit at 58″ whenever possible.  It is the latest fabric headboard design trend for good reason – it looks great!  Tall king size fabric headboards are in nearly all the high end boutique hotels.  Regarding scale, if you were able to fit a king bed in your master bedroom, chances you can easily accommodate a tall headboard.   If you love lots of pillow shams and oversized decorative pillows, you can really go crazy and not hide your beautiful new upholstered headboard.

To really get the height right, we recommend using blue painters tape on the wall where you will have the headboard.  Take the tape and outline the size of the headboard.  Step back and take look.  Move the tape to a couple of different heights.  You’ll know when it right.

Just like with clothing, shoes or anything else, one size does not fit all.
