Window Treatment Tricks This window treatment uses multiple tricks to add height to the living room. Not only do the vertical stripes on the drapes carry the eye upward, but the wooden rods are also mounted close to ceiling. The lightweight drapery panels are hung to show the darkest and lightest of the drapery's three stripes, adding visual interest. Sunshine-friendly bamboo shades complement the draperies and make a stylish alternative to heavy draperies.
