Top 5 Spring Inspired Drapery Fabrics

Spring is in the air, and it’s time to think about refreshing your interiors! As the weather gets warmer, one of the best ways to update your interiors is to bring reminders of nature inside your home. Updating your drapery with spring-inspired fabrics gives your windows a fresh look with minimal time and effort.

Lightweight fabrics are key to recreating the airy spring aesthetic in your apartment. These materials are breathable and will move with gentle breezes. Our favorite trait of spring fabrics is that you can style them to suit any interior design. Naturally, choosing a single favorite fabric isn’t something we can do, so we curated a list of five for you to consider.

• Linen: It has a timeless quality and subtle sophistication. Linen drapes delicately, and you can choose from several weights. However, we must share that fabric linen wrinkles easily and usually requires dry cleaning.
• Silk: Silk may not always be a practical choice, but New Yorkers have an unwavering commitment to high style. This upscale, elegant fabric calls for specialty care and has a price point that reflects its prestige.
• Cotton: Cotton’s reputation for versatility and durability makes it a straightforward option for drapery fabric. It’s available in various textures and weights to accommodate any décor preference. However, cotton fades over time, so we suggest using it in a room that doesn’t receive direct sunlight all day.
• Blends: Blending fabrics bring out the best features in each while minimizing flaws. A linen-cotton blend offers an organic aesthetic and a robust foundation. Fabric blends resist wrinkling and are easy to care for.
• Voile: A delicate material that gently filters light, voile drapes alluringly. This fabric is often 100% cotton but can feature a touch of linen or wool. It’s also relatively low maintenance compared to its airy nature.

The second most significant factor in your choice of fabric should be the colors and patterns. The season of renewal presents an array of fresh, understated shapes and colors to your fabric options. You can lean into the subtle vibe with crisp white or soft pastel hues. Floral and botanical prints, whether bold or unassuming, enliven rooms with bright, contrasting colors. Consider exotic animal or bird prints to create the warm, relaxing ambiance of tropical locales without leaving the city. Tie a room with dynamic drapery together using accessories with the same color palette.
