Before & After: From Drab to Fab with Custom Drapery Panels
A perfect blend of nature-inspired beauty and contemporary sophistication.


Before: Dull and Lifeless Windows
The Challenge
Our client’s dining room was ready for a new look and the team at H2H jumped into action. The windows faced the park like back yard, and we wanted to be sure to not lose our view. The space needed a fresh, vibrant update that would breathe life into the entire area.
The Solution
Enter Carole Fabrics’ “Leaf It Out” in the color “Atmosphere.” This botanical-inspired fabric promised to transform the room, adding elegance and personality. But we didn’t stop there—we paired it with sleek black designer metals for a sophisticated touch.
The Transformation
- Fabric Selection: We chose “Leaf It Out” for its stunning botanical print. The delicate leaves and vibrant colors instantly caught our eye. The ivory cotton ground added a touch of luxury, making it perfect for drapery panels.
- Custom Drapery Panels: Our skilled team crafted custom drapery panels using the “Leaf It Out” fabric. The fabric width allowed for generous coverage, framing the windows beautifully. The repeat pattern ensured a balanced look.
- Designer Metals: To elevate the design, we opted for black designer metals. These sleek curtain rods and finials added contrast and sophistication. The dark hue complemented the fabric’s rich tones, creating a harmonious ensemble.
- Installation: Our team meticulously hung the drapery panels, ensuring they fell gracefully to the floor. The designer metals were securely mounted, framing the windows like works of art.
The Result
The transformation was remarkable. The dining room now exuded warmth, elegance, and personality. The drapery panels brought the outdoors in, infusing the space with natural beauty. The black designer metals added a modern edge, balancing the traditional botanical motif.
Our client couldn’t believe the difference—gone were the exposed window trim, replaced by a captivating focal point. The room felt inviting, cozy, and utterly transformed.
