drapings
Cloth hung decoratively
Drapings are things that drape or hang in folds—fabric, cloth, or similar material arranged loosely over something: The drapings over the windows blocked most of the light.
The word appears in descriptions of interior decoration, theatrical staging, or ceremonial settings where fabric is displayed for effect rather than strictly functional use.
