Ever since we featured Inness in upstate New York (see: A Rustic, Design-Minded Retreat (with British Customary Kitchens)), I’ve returned to at least one singular design element: pull-across window coverings which are easy and ethereal in all their simplicity. Now I’m keen to copy the look in my very own place.
With two hooks, a swath of material (vast sufficient to stretch throughout the window with just a little elegant draping), and two curtain rings, you can also attempt it. Take a look:

The Inspiration
Above: Considered one of many restful lodgings at Inness. The window coverings caught my eye: In lieu of drapes on either side, easy linens grasp casually from a hook on one aspect of the window when not in use. (This photograph was taken earlier than the adjoining hook was put in.)
Above: When it’s time for privateness, company can unhook one steel loop and grasp it from the {hardware} on the opposite aspect of the window.
Above: Tall home windows, like these, in a lounge, have steel grab-bars for simple reaching. {Photograph} by way of Inness.
Supplies
Above: To get the have a look at house, affix a sturdy steel hook on both aspect of the window. Cast Iron Wall Hooks are $28 for a set of two from Anthropologie. Above: And add a material hook to both aspect of the curtain. The three/4-Inch Material Curtain Ring Set is $49 for a set of seven from Rejuvenation and has detachable clips for simple attaching.
Above: For simple reaching, Wrought Iron Hook Extension Hangers, hand-forged by the Amish in Pennsylvania, begins at $19.99 from MetalcraftPA on Etsy. Related finds will be discovered on the ironmongery store or plant nursery.
