What’s old is new again. Café curtains are having a moment, these classic curtains that only cover the lower half or two-thirds of a window have been given new life. There is a certain timelessness to cafes – even modern spaces are showing up with cafes on the window. That’s because you get the best of both worlds- the curtains let in light and provide just enough privacy while bringing color and texture into the space.
How to Style your cafes
•Pair with beautiful hardware. (Choose Orion’s iron cafe rods.) #windowdressings Add finials or French elbows and complete the set with outside or inside mount brackets -all in 35 finishes or custom painted.
•Add a modern pleat rather than a rod pocket. Select a two-finger pleat tacked 1” down for a more tailored look.
•Scale it down- whether bandings, trimmings or headings- keep the rules of proportion in mind. #oriondraperyhardware #orionartonthewindow #ironartbyorion #oriondraperyhardware #draperyhardware #orionartonthewindow

Pierre Frey archives never disappoints! This is a project presentation diorama for the train car bedrooms of Napoleon and Josephine complete with the fabric samples, work order, quote, mockups and invoice.They know that Braquenie did the job because they have correspondence from the designer to Braquenie asking them to rush the job because Napoleon wanted to take the to Corsica. Love the provenance!! Not to mention the wonderful presentation. #decortours #windowdressings #past informs the future
