Evening folks
I am in the process of doing the soft furnishings for a rather grand house, including a canopy for one four poster bed and simple, non-functional dress curtains for another. I am not sure how/what to construct that is sufficiently "grand" that would reflect the age of the place and the colour schemes already in situ. All the furniture has been specially made, the beds are very plain but extremely wide and they are "serviced" annually by the manufacturers so I imagine it would invalidate any type of guarantee if I interfere with the material structure too much by installing fittings/mountings. The designer is suggesting just plain, very full and unlined curtains to puddle around each vertical strut, but I am thinking about how to gather it in at certain horizontal points to give it more interest. Any ideas how to attach it to the uprights, how to ensure it stays dressed around each upright and suppliers of something like coloured cotton muslin or equivalent would be much appreciated. The other bed will probably end up with the equivalent of a giant "hat" sat on top of it, I imagine I could do that with stick on hook tape to the horizontals and sew in loop tape to the fabric, but any other thoughts will be appreciated.
Thank you.
