In the library of my London home curtain designer Doreen Scott recently replaced a rather tired-looking shade with a stunning new one made from a de Le Cuona fabric called Kyoto in the color Topaz—it has a sort of oil-on-water moiré effect. Note the heavy border in the same fabric that gives the shade a tailored look without it being too structured.
