[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try Ballard. I was looking at the catalog last night and thought some looked nice.

I think more important than the fabric, is HOW you hang them. Hang them super high and wide. Hanging them right over the window is what looks cheap

I personally buy fancy fabric (I like silk) on huge discount ($7 a ft) and then make them myself. I love lined curtains and can't stand seeing curtains that aren't lined. Each window costs me about $100. [/quote]

Good ideas here. Not quite as DIY as the above poster, but I bought panels at a deep discount at Bed Bath & Beyond with coupons and then lined them myself with discount sheets. They hung very nicely and blocked the sun from furniture as drapes should. I bought double the panels for lots of volume. Hang them high and wide is good advice. Get nice hardware with clips if that works for your room, and any panels will work.[/quote]

PP here. This is just what I was trying to say. No matter what you do, line them. It makes them look 10x better, fancier, hang better and keep out light better. Fabric doesn't as matter as much as how thick they are (with lining) and how they're hung. I can make bed sheets look fabulous if they're lined and on nice poles. Btw, Hobby Lobby has some awesome wood poles. It's where I've gotten all mine recently. Or Home Depot's martha stewart line. [/quote]
