According to designer and textile artist Amy Mazius of metahaiku, adding multiple panels (more than one per side) can result in a layered, romantic vibe that is oftentimes overlooked. "The texture of gathered panels - as opposed to the single panel on each side - frames your windows and is a great way to build drama," she shares. "Creating an artful story with your curtains will make the room feel unique and lived-in."
Designer Emma Beryl agrees. "Having multiple panels on either side gives the illusion that there is more fabric," she says. "Since drapes are an optional addition to any home, having plenty of fabric on either side gives off a luxe feeling."
Designer Alexis Woodbury Earman of The Woodbury Home recommends a minimum of two per side. "We typically recommend using two panels per each side of your window - a total of four altogether. Using multiple panels creates the illusion of wider windows. When this effect is created, the room itself seems larger. Due to the ample amount of fabric, multiple panels avoid the 'thinned out' look when they are drawn close."
