Window Treatments, Curtains, and Drapes…oh my!

 

Call them what you will, in my humble opinion, they make a room.  Of course, what else would you expect me to say since custom window treatments are such a pivotal part of the Perfect Home story.  When I first opened the store eight years ago, I never dreamed fabricating window coverings would evolve into what it is today.  I started slowly and outsourced my fabrics.  Little by little, and with wonderful word of mouth referrals , that part of my  business grew.  My lucky day came when I met the talented and fabulous Sonia and as the story goes, we’ve  been together ever since.  I may be full of  ideas and can mix fabrics like a master chef mixes ingredients, but I can’t sew a stitch!  I can show you beautiful photos for designs that I think will work for your room, just don’t ask me to install a rod!

I thought I would share a few of the myriad  of photos I have collected over the years.  Imagine as you peruse these pics what the rooms would be without curtains of any kind.  Cold, barren,  just plain boring?   You decide.

Love a printed linen on black iron rods mixed with bamboo shades.

Perfect solution with a window seat.  This setting would not have such pizzazz without this interesting fabric.

Rich saffron silk flowing like a ballgown.  One of my favorite looks.  We have both dupioni silk and faux silk available in endless colors. VERY well priced, too!   Simple panels like these are the easiest to fabricate and the most dramatic in a room.

Simple… tailored … elegant.  What’s not to love!

Mixing panels with roman shades.  So chic.

I have always been crazy for this look, yet never made it for anyone.  Who wants to be first???

Let’s end with a little drama. Not for everyone, but you have to admit it’s beautiful.

I focused on panels in this post since that seems to be what we are doing the most of at this time.  Surprisingly affordable and elegant.  Call or email me if you are interested in a window consultation and I will be happy to help.  Next time…roman shades!
