Amount Materials: You also need to agree in advance how you will pay for the job. A small job can be paid for on or soon after completion. But if a job is going to last for several weeks or months, and involves the purchase of a large amount materials of materials, it is reasonable for the builder to ask for interim payments to cover delivered materials and completed work; never pay for anything in advance. You can arrange to hold back 5 to 10 per cent of the costs on completion for a specified amount materials of time until you are sure that there is no faulty workmanship, but you must agree this with the contractor before the work starts.
The choice of plain or figured textiles. There can be no fixed rule as to when figured or plain materials should be used for overdraperies. Patterns unquestionably produce a gay effect; plain materials are more restful. The choice of either is a matter of i ,ste. Visual fatigue and monotony should both be avoided, and perhaps the different rooms in the house should be treated with varying materials in order to introduce the variety that is necessary for good decoration. A rule that is followed by many decorators is to use plain drapery materials in rooms with patterned walls, and vice versa. Draperies should always contrast with the Wall in some manner; if pattern is not used to foil a plain adjoining surface, contrast can be introduced by color, tone, or texture. A certain amount materials of interest and variety is always obtainable by trimming draperies with color-contrasting fringes, borders, or edgings. Valances and draperies may also be made of different materials.
