I've been called many things...most good (!) - but I really did love it when I was given the title "Diva of Draperies" by a favorite someone once. I'd like to thank the Academy...and my mother. And by the way - I will also answer to "Queen of Curtains."
I love window treatments...from design to fabrication to installation...to the marvelous moment when a client walks into the room to see the newly installed custom draperies I've designed had fabricated with my workroom. This is when the excited breath is drawn - and smiling widely something is uttered excitedly that is the equivalent to "Holy Smokes...I can't believe this is my room/house/home. I loooove these window treatments and what they did to this room." I get goosebumps just re-living the process with you now. Magic.
Window treatments remarkably affect a room's over all sense of comfort and mood. Small wonder. They are framing one of the key - and often largest - architectural features in a room.... all that glass. I cannot stress enough the power and action that the right window treatment has in an interior to include the following:
*Gorgeously connecting your furnishings... or adjoining rooms
*Deftly joining mis-matched, unevenly hung or unusually shaped windows
*Adeptly correcting architectural oddities
*Perfectly updating a room (perhaps without adding much else new)
*Exponentially improving and upping the 'charm' factor in a room
*Conveniently providing Privacy
*Providing important Light Blocking or Light Control
*Providing Sound Absorption
*Assisting with heat loss and heat gain.
*Protecting furnishings
I could go on. Instead...a warning: Windows and their treatment rank among some of the 1st elements that will date a room - one of the key elements that can shut down a room - and window treatments remain an area of great confusion for many people.
Next week - we'll look at some basic design and proportion issues in window treatments - to include how to get what you want on whatever your budget.Source URL: https://interiordesignq.blogspot.com/2010/10/window-treatment-primer-from-diva-of.html
