Fixed panels can make a decorative statement and be more cost-effective than traditional draperies. Layering several types of treatments together can create a great look. Here, designer Cindy Zelazny Rodenhaver used side panels, a fabric-covered cornice, and a sheer to diffuse light and add privacy. Decoratively it's effective because she blended three coordinating fabrics--regal damask for the cornice, checked silk for the panels, and a sheer.

This layered look is a great way to incorporate a small amount of expensive fabric, perhaps on the cornice, along with an affordable one where more yardage is required.

Outdoor Paradise
Who says the back porch has to be attached to the house? One Memphis family enjoys theirs, which is nestled in the heart of the back yard. Although the structure was part of the property when the family bought the home several years ago, its size and scale seem ideal for today. The screened porch section measures 8 x 12 feet; exposed beams on the inside give it an open feel. To the left, an enclosed room that's used for storing outdoor equipment takes up another eight feet. - Integrated Cabinets
