First impressions last.  Entrance drapery and lighting will welcome your guests into the atmosphere that you have created.  It can also be the perfect answer to an old doorway that is an eyesore. 

 

Once inside the room or venue, consider curtain drapery with lighting to transform the room and give it the elegant, classy look that you desire.  This is a way to take any venue and make it your own despite it's current drapery, wall hangings, etc.
