Traditional Primary Bedroom with Blue and White Drapery

Custom-looking drapery gives a traditional bedroom its polish. Pinch pleats create even, tailored folds, and a lining adds weight so the fabric hangs straight and protects the pattern from sun. For a large room, mount the rod just under the crown molding and extend it well beyond the window so open panels cover only wall, not glass. Blue and white is a timeless traditional pairing; repeat the pattern once more in a lamp or a pillow and keep the bedding mostly solid. If the windows face east, ask for blackout lining so the room works as well at six in the morning as it looks.
