I've been working on a not-your-typical-window treatment project for a client. She has been intrigued with unusual, textural combinations, such as burlap and velvet. These window treatments will be going up on a 2 story family room, very large 3 section set of windows with amazing views. (pictures to come once done!)

I thought I'd use this post to gather ideas and look at just how burlap behaves when used as curtain panels. It was amazing to search the web and find so many uses; wallpaper, fabric, upholstery, table linens, room dividers. 
I like the way the panels are hanging in the dining room pictured above. They look to be fan pleats with rings attached. If burlap was on a rod pocket, it would want to move out and expand. We're avoiding the use of tie backs due to the design of the panels. My goal is to keep the burlap hanging straight and not billow so that my client's view is unobstructed.
Burlap has such great texture. Usually, when used as curtain panels, burlap is not lined so that light is able to filter through, giving a warm glow to the room.

Our design will involve just about 3/4 length non lined, burlap with the remaining 1/4 of the panel in a warm, camel color velvet. We're working out the banding design that will go across the seamline where the burlap and velvet will meet.
