Classic Ruffled Priscilla Curtains

When looking for a classic style of curtain that can add instant charm and beauty to your home, consider hanging ruffled Priscilla curtains. This type of window covering is perfect for the individual who loves sheer or semi sheer fabrics and ruffled curtain tops or valances. While it is possible to purchase or make these curtains from heavier fabrics, Priscilla style curtains are normally made from more translucent fabrics. The ruffles on these drapes are normally wide and are used to embellish the edges of the curtain, adding to the romantic appeal. When hanging the curtains, the edges, along with the ruffles, are often pulled back and held to the side of the window with curtain tie backs. This method of suspending the sides of the curtain works well in most any room and definitely adds to the appearance and appeal of Priscilla style curtains.

While there are many different styles and colors of Priscilla draperies on the market, it is also possible to have this style of curtain custom-made depending on your own personal preference. Many custom-made drapery shops specialize in this style of window covering and offer an abundance of fabrics to choose from, allowing the home owner to purchase the exact set of curtains needed to put the finishing touch on any room in their homes. Ruffled Priscilla curtains may also be purchased at window covering retailers, department stores and home improvement stores.

While this type of curtain may be integrated into several different décor styles, it is most commonly used in country style dwellings. Homes with country décor often contain more rustic designs and offer a “down-home” feel. This is not to say that Priscilla draperies cannot be used in a more modern home; these draperies may fit well with other décor styles or be used to tie different décor styles together.

While Priscilla drapes add a certain appeal all of their own, matching them up with other design elements, such as a decorative drapery rod and/or decorative finials can add even more visual appeal. Try choosing eye-catching drapery accessories that will draw attention to the window and that will also enhance the décor of the room.
