window dressings using draped scarves

[jane12]

Hi

I would like to  know if there is a rule of thumb, when it comes to draping a scarf over a curtain rod – is it 1 and ½ times the width of the window? 

Should the scarf drape halfway down the sides equally?

I’d appreciate any guidelines for window dressing with scarves.

Thank you!

Alternatively if you can get hold of a copy of Maureen Whitemore's book Home Furnishings Workbook she shows how to create a swag effect on a pole using voile and elastic bands
