DRESS TO IMPRESS

A window is very often the major focal point within a room, therefore its dressing requires careful attention and thought.

Windows should enhance the character of your room.

Each window should be treated both individually and as a group within a room.
Where to start : -

• Do you require privacy?
• Do you need lots of light?
• Do you want to get the most from a beautiful view, or disguise an ugly one?
• What is the function of the room?
• Do you want trimmings?

You can change the atmosphere of a room just by varying the fabric or style of curtain. You can go from classic to modern and the room is transformed.

I could probably write a book entirely about curtains and fabrics, and many people have. But I believe one of the main considerations, whether the fabric is an expensive silk or simple cotton,is always ensure they are beautifully handmade.

Design Tip : Need privacy, overlooked by neighbours? Hate those old net curtains? Then why not have a roman blind made in a voile, there are so many beautiful inexpensive voiles to choose from, from plain to embroidered, from white to all the colours of the rainbow.
