French Chateau Dressing Room Drapes
The room for these drapes is a very small area. To make the most of the space, we created a faux "closet" behind draperies. This is the faux closet door that covers the window at the back of the dressing room. From the outside, all that will be seen is the pleated drapes so it will look like a normal window covered with curtains, but from the inside, the entire back wall is filled with this charming closet entryway.
The dressing room has a bay alcove with a square opening on the wall to the right of the faux closet. These drapes are a single unit that mount to the wall edge over the opening to the bay alcove. They cover the entire wall and frame the alcove opening. It makes a nice continuation of the faux closet and gives the room a finished look.
These curtains are for the little window in the bay alcove. The tips on either side will extend to just below the window sill. I didn't want to overpower that area by making the drapes big or heavy, so this little arrangement will help define the shape of the alcove while letting in light from the window. I created a bit of an optical illusion with the shape of these curtains.....kind of a telescoping effect to make the room look larger than it is.
Here's a bit of perspective of how it looks with the drapes over the alcove opening and the curtains in the window behind them.
