Be inspired by styles you’ve seen or places you have visited. Find ways to make it be comfortable, creative and individual.
A traditional room is classic and timeless, the use of warm tones in this room make it inviting and homey. With a total of four large windows in the same room, window treatments can easily become overpowering. By selecting these non-functioning drapery panels the window treatments are kept to a minimal. The drapery panels hang from a beautiful decorative rod, framing the window edges. The drapery fabric compliments the deep burgundy and gold tones used throughout the room.
A valance, sewn directly into the top portion of each drapery panel adds visual interest, without becoming overdone. Tassel fringe is added and frames the bottom edge of the valance, giving the drapery panels additional detail.
Together the elements of this room create an overall ambiance that is classic, inviting and truly this homeowners style.
