The details make the treatment | Custom Drapery Nashua NH
These dining room window treatments were hung on wooden rods and rings. The beautiful custom drapery panels puddle on the floor and have the look of an elegant ball gown. READ MORE
With elegant, cinnamon colored fabric, these drapery panels compliment the beautiful oriental rug in this dining room. I loved the detail of the small silk cording, added to the bottom edge of the valance, with single tassels attached at each point.
Coordinating silk and plaid fabric was chosen for the dining room seat cushions, adding just the right touch of pattern for the large scale of this space. Silk cording and tassels were repeated on the edge of the seat cushions for the perfect finishing touch for this interior design project.
Sit down and relax!
With details in mind, this interior design project added many elements to this refreshed sunroom! This two chair and ottoman combination in a natural, glossy rattan welcome guests to sit down and relax.
Beautiful custom drapery panels are held by one of my favorite corner rod selections that I frequently use in sunroom spaces. The simple yet elegant top-run window treatment for the panels provides just enough fabric to gather softly in the corners. Fabricated custom holdbacks in the same pattern gather the classic striped fabric, presented here in a pretty shade of blue and cream. Highlighting the window frames, the custom drapery color was chosen in just a hint richer than the cushion fabric below.
There is a distinct "play on color" here as all of the design elements come together. The fabric for the pillows pulls in some of the blue from the drapery and cushion colors. The seating areas is perfectly situated on a taupe colored rug which is woven with hints of subtle blue and sage colors throughout.
The ‘Shagreen’ paint color chosen for sunroom walls sets a beautiful back drop for all of the natural light streaming in through the windows. A go-to favorite color for trim paint is ‘Decorators’ white, which adds a lovely contrast that highlights the wall color.
Details Make A Design Come To Life
Details make a design come to life. In the world of interior designers, tassels can add a delightful aesthetic to window treatments and custom upholstery. These tassels with beaded trim and silk cording compliment the drapery, to create a beautiful custom look.
Wall of Windows
While a wall of windows can sometimes be a challenge for my clients, it doesn't have to be! I often remind my clients that while natural light is beautiful it can be damaging to furniture and rugs. Using window film protection on the windows will save fabrics, floors and rugs from fading.
A large wall of windows creates a breathtaking interior design presentation. Shutters are used here on the bottom half only. I often suggest leaving the transom window open to allow as much natural light to enter the room as possible. The green foliage of the trees sets a distinct backdrop of color. I love pulling in the same pallet of colors from outdoors inside, especially on the pillows featured here!
A pretty choice in wall color here - Watery Sherwin Williams - adds a glow to a large-scale room. While not too dark, the color palette this choice allows you to use on furniture and rugs is endless. White furniture combined with the lighter window trim provides perfect contrast.
