A while back, I mentioned that I wanted to add a decorative option to cover our sidelights. When we first moved in, we had stationary sidelight panels, but that didn’t give us the option to move them during the day. I wanted a more modern approach for covering these windows, that would also be moveable and let the light in. When I came across these inspiration photos, I knew this would work for us…
Adding drapery panels was such a clever and stylish way to add privacy. My walls are wallpapered and busy, so I knew I didn’t want patterned drapery panels. I decided to try my own take on this project! Here is the before shot of our foyer…

And here are the afters in progress, with the curtaind rod and panels…
After
I say in progress, because I still plan on installing some sort of tie backs for the panels. I ended up using the same panels that are in our kitchen and family room, but I added pom pom fringe for a special, fun touch. The curtain panels are from Target and are the Farrah Curtain Panels in Cream. They can be found here. I ordered the panels in size 54×95 so I could hang the rod high and near the ceiling. I think it helps to draw your eye up and create more space when you can mount your curtain rod as high as possible. I will be back next week for a full tutorial on adding the pom pom fringe!
I really enjoy this look! The progress is stunning!!! It really adds that bit of warmth to the entry….I have a door in my family room that leads to the garage…I am thinking I might want to try this there???!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love the drapery panels and the privacy that you get now.
Happy Easter!
Great result. I love the pom poms. Happy Easter to you!
Wow I have never seen this done but it makes SO much sense. Absolutely loving this look!
I really like how this turned out!
I like the progress. Sidelights are great for being able to see out and to bring light in, but I don't like the way people can see directly into our house. This is a great solution.
It looks really nice, Amber! I like the fringe part too:) Fun touch.
Thanks for the great article here. I was searching for something like that for quite a long time and at last I have found it here. I hope to see more such nice articles in the nearest future too…
