Scenes From the Showroom: Where the Fabric Falls

By Sarah NacarioJul 11, 2025

In our showroom, every detail is considered, from the scale of the mural to the texture of the trim, from the floors to the windows. This month, we're turning our focus to the front of the space. Join us as we share the styling approach behind the draped windows in our main showroom.

Scale That Speaks

One of the most impactful choices in this window treatment is scale. The drapes are intentionally oversized, longer than necessary, with deep folds and a gentle puddle at the floor.

The fullness of the fabric gives it presence, but not in a loud or showy way. It’s graceful, flowing, and luxurious.

Rather than using a fixed length or trimming neatly to the baseboard, the panels are left to pool. This simple decision changes everything. It introduces softness to the space, diffuses formality, and lets the architecture breathe. In person, the fabric seems to move with the light, echoing the passing of time throughout the day.

The Freedom of Looseness

In many interiors, window treatments are structured, measured, symmetrical. Here, we explore welcoming human imperfection. The curtains are gently gathered and tucked behind decorative urns, no hardware or fixed position, but a relaxed cinch that allows the fabric to shape itself.

This loose approach gives the room a more lived-in, textural quality. It also lets you style the space differently from day to day. Keep them fully drawn for a cocooned feel, or gather them to the side and let them frame the light and view. The effect is elegant but easy, a key detail in rooms that want to feel both styled and personal.

A Fabric That Grounds the Space

Ivy Garland Mint Linen by Coordonné is a fabric that does a lot with very little. The pattern is light, a repeating trellis of leafy vines in a gentle green tone. Up close, it has the feel of a hand-drawn botanical. From a distance, it reads almost as texture. It’s soft, fresh, and timeless.

Lined with Coordonné’s Puerto Encaldo, a classic white linen, the fabric gains enough structure to fall cleanly, while still catching the light. Together, they strike a perfect balance: weighty enough to hang beautifully, airy enough to feel like part of the architecture rather than a layer added on top.

This pairing works especially well in transitional spaces. In this room, flanked by antique-style chairs with velvet and toile upholstery, a mirrored pedestal, and a modern glass chandelier, the fabric acts as a neutral foundation. It ties the old and new together, elevating everything around it without demanding attention.

Designing a Room Around Drapes

It’s easy to treat window coverings as an afterthought, something to soften the edges once the rest of the room is complete. But in this space, the drapes came first. Their palette and movement informed everything else: the walnut-toned herringbone flooring, the sculptural green urns, the subtle off-whites on the walls, and even the tonal contrasts in the framed art.

From outside the showroom, the window reads as layered and lived-in. From within, the drapes diffuse the sunlight, casting soft shadows across the herringbone floor and drawing your eye across the room.

This is a lesson in how drapery can do more than just dress a window. With the right fabric and form, it can act as architecture, framing the space, guiding the mood, and shaping the way people move through it.

A Styling Takeaway

If you’re designing a space that needs warmth, height, or softness, start with your drapes. 

Don’t be afraid of length or fullness. Work with fabric that brings subtle texture or gentle movement, and let it fall naturally. Consider leaving them loose or gathered casually, using furnishings rather than formal hardware to hold them in place.
