It was a busy week last week. Lots of design consultations and 2 drapery installations. You have already seen the traditional dining room valance. Here we are in a bedroom.
The homeowner is a fun, spirited woman,who, suddenly finding herself in an empty nest, decided to go for it in terms of fabric choice. We didn't even run it by her husband.
This lovely print is from Kravet. Since no bedding had been chosen yet, we only had a deep green wall color to coordinate with. I am not a huge fan of green, but I liked this one. And although this is a very deep shade,this bedroom had cathedral ceilings so instead of feeling closed in, there was a certain amount of airiness so it was more cozy than claustrophobic.
We installed new pleated shades for light control - and these double honeycomb shades are really insulating. The biggest trick was deciding where to start the shade on the arched window and where to hang the rod with the stationary panels.
Then we matched the height to the side window. That is a little design trick so that your eye travels around the room at the same height. It also visually lengthens the smaller window.
We made a little matching pillow for the bed, but can't show it since we threw it on a bed, that had the old comforter, that didn't go with the new fabric at ALL! What color bedspread would you choose? Lavender, the palest green or yellow matelasse would be nice. But I think a crisp cream duvet cover with an embroidered edge in lavender would be my choice.
