Can't find the right drapery fabrics, help!

13 years ago
I have a living room that is 15 ft wide, 17 ft long. It has a 10 ft long x 5 ft high window on the 17 ft long wall which has an 8 ft ceiling. I want floor to ceiling drapes and have already purchased the curtain track to hold them. However, my first choice in drapery fabric (an embroidered creamy faux silk with a vine-like pattern in cinnamon and shimmery olive green) is discontinued. So now, I have upholstry to match a non-existent drape! I'm looking for something either tone-on-tone texture or with a LARGE repeat -- I can't take 17 x 8 ft of floral on a 15 inch repeat (see 'test corner photo below).

The wall color. lighting and carpet are going to change; the design concept was neutral furniture with showcased art all around the room and accent pillows. The couch (which is "oatmeal") and recliner are on the wall opposite the drapes.

I'm can make the drapes if I can find a fabric; or buy 95 inch panels. I just want a subtle bit of interest on that wall -- not the blah that the old drapes were.
