Swags, jabots, pelmets and other top treatments that frame a window with fabric shapes, adding formal or traditional detail to dining rooms, living rooms and bedrooms.
Top treatments are the jewelry of a window. A swag or a pelmet adds shape and detail above a curtain or blind. Homeowners in Nashville use them in formal dining rooms, traditional living rooms and bedrooms with a classic feel.
We show styles like swags and jabots, pelmets, scarves and gathered headers, and how each looks with panels or blinds below. We discuss proportions, trims and fabrics, and how to keep a top treatment from feeling heavy or dated. We make and install them with strong mounting, then check the drape of each fold. When a more modern look is wanted, we suggest simple pelmets or cornice boards. Top treatments are about restraint. A little shape can make a window look finished, and too much can look heavy. We sketch ideas and show them on a photo of your window, so you can judge the effect before anything is made. When a design feels fussy, we simplify it, and we are glad to suggest cleaner alternatives.
Swags, jabots, pelmets and scarves create different moods, and we show examples and sketches.
The depth and drop of a top treatment affect how tall the window looks and how the room feels.
Fabric weight and trim decide how the folds fall, and we test samples.
Boards and brackets carry the weight, and folds are arranged by hand.
