Arched Windows with Elegant Valances

Out of the Eighties: Before and After Pictures...









We have the unique opportunity to work with many great decorating projects. One of the most gratifying parts of the process is to see the before pictures and compare them to the fabulous results! This one turned out so well that we want to share it with you.

This room, shown here in the pre-renovation stage, was locked in the 80"s. Complete with pink and blue wallpaper and bare windows, this room's potential was hidden in a time warp!

My client, like many of you, saw the potential in the architecture and plunged headlong into redecorating the room. She called us in to coordinate the wall color and add the element that pulled the project together, the window treatments.

One of our challenges here was to treat both the arched windows and the side rectangular window consistently. Don't you think this valance design did just that?
We accented the beautiful arches with relaxed swag treatments that also fit the side window. The fabric we used was a deep ruby red with brown accents brought warmth to the room and was gorgeous with the sable brown Venetian plaster walls.

Unlock the potential of your family room. We are ever impressed with the impact that color, texture and fabrics have in taking a house to a home. Our installation days are so exciting when all these elements come to life!
