What are two-sided drapery panels anyway? I think it's a thing in the south mainly, but I was educated by my client. She wanted to have a drapery that had colored face fabrics on both sides. This allowed you to see a beautiful fabric from the outside of the home as well as from the inside. The two fabrics she selected for this design are shown below.

The two sided drapery weighed quite a bit (over 50 lbs) due to the layering of interlining and black sateen plus the two fabrics. The black sateen plus interlining did two things:
1) Prevented light from shining through the fabric and showing every pinhole and flaw
2) Added body, fullness and hand to the overall drapery making it hang beautifully
Due to the weight of the drapery, a strong drapery rod was needed.
We used the
Kirsch's Wrought Iron Collection shown in the photo below:
The drapery would be installed in a breakfast nook on a bay window with 2 angles, so we added an elbows to accommodate the bend.
