Although the words curtain and drape are commonly used interchangeably, drapes distinguish themselves by containing lining sewn onto the reverse side of the fabric.

Added weight helps to anchor the drape and creates a more full and luxurious window treatment. Here goes the 15 Living Room Pleated Drapes.
