I love Drapes

It’s no secret that I LOVE drapes!  A big part of my business is designing and installing window treatments. You can give any room in a boost with beautiful drapes and the draperies you choose go a long way toward giving your room personality.

When designing a room there are many layers but the one that makes the biggest impact is the window treatments.  The other elements are super important too; paint, rugs, furniture,  art, and accessories but the drapes are always the icing on the cake.

What can be more lovely than volumes of beautiful fabric that add softness to a room and are functional as well if you choose to use them as your window coverings? If you prefer decorative side panels; pair them with blinds or a shade for a perfect combination. Here are a few of my favorites:

Rooms with bold, blue color are huge right now, and I’m not surprised. Navy and deep indigo have been hot interior colors for a few years and will continue to be in 2017. I consider navy blue to be a neutral, and it’s completely classic. Rich, bold blue pairs well with so many other colors. It’s crisp when paired with white, soothing when used on it’s own, and exciting when used with pops of orange, green, yellow or pink. Bold blue rooms are hot!

Blue rooms have become my newest favorites and I’ve decided to use turquoise extensively throughout my new home. I’ll share more on the turquoise spaces later but today, its fabulous navy and indigo blue rooms!
