Cascade

In the home shown here, the drapes separate the entry from the living room without blocking light or air circulation. The price isnt cheap: about $7 to $47 a square foot, depending on the type of coil and size of your order; hanging hardware is extra. But for homeowners whose open floor plan has proved to be more than they bargained for, the drapes are a viable alternative to throwing up a solid wall.
