I was sitting in my “New” office and thought it was really warm. The air conditioner seemed to be working fine. I looked down at the register next to the table to be sure the bookshelf was not covering it. The bookshelf was fine, but the drape was partially over it.

The cool air was going up the folds of the drape, not into the room. I pulled the curtain up into a swag until the register was clear and immediately felt cool air. I then went and checked all of the other registers to make sure they were not blocked.

A swagged drape does not block the register.
