Take advantage of windows as an opportunity for a dressing that softens the feel of an entire room. Wispy sheers, with their gentle draping capability, are the essence of softness. Use them in rooms filled with rough or hard textures on the furnishings and floors to provide a soft, inviting counterpoint. Note: The light weight and translucence of sheers also contribute to their perceived softness, as much as the actual hand of the fabric. This light, ethereal quality is part of the effectiveness of the window treatment in providing a foil for the more solid furnishings and architectural elements.
