Window Coverings

Draperies and/or sheer curtains are authorized for the official entertainment areas of the

facility. Venetian blinds or shades are authorized for personal areas of the facility. In

addition, draperies and/or sheer curtains may be provided as reasonable window

coverings throughout all areas of the facility when unusual window size or historical

nature precludes use of Venetian blinds or shades. The facility master plan should

include routine drapery replacement.

Carpeting is an acceptable floor covering in Representational Facilities and can be

provided through most areas of the facility. Frequent cleaning, such as spot cleaning, by

the resident is encouraged to maintain the life and serviceability of the carpet. There may

be instances when professional cleaning is needed on a more frequent basis, such as

following public entertainment events or in high traffic areas. Carpet should be avoided

in potentially wet or high-traffic areas, such as the foyer, bathrooms, powder room,

kitchen, and laundry area. For these areas, floor coverings should be of high quality,

appropriate to the space, durable, water-resistant, slip-resistant, and easy to clean.

Area rugs are considered furnishings and are authorized for hardwood/bare floors in the

entertainment areas. Government issued rugs should not be placed in rooms with wall-to-

wall carpeting.

Representational Facilities are entitled tableware to include table linens, china, glassware,

silverware, serving silver, and kitchen utensils. The following is an appropriate inventory

for Tableware found in a Representational Facility:
