Last week we had an installation in Burr Ridge, Dupage county Illinois. The room design is still not yet complete, we are still waiting for some furniture and a light fixture to be delivered. Even though the room is not done completely, you still feel the power of adding the draperies. I have a video in the works, and some photos too to share with you! Watch out for next week  blog, will have some photos for you.

The fabric is from the Larry Laslo collection for the Robert Allen fabrics, the fabric Cufflinks color copper, is a unique contemporary fabric that is a cut out circles style. It was lined with black sheers to add depth, and body. The hardware we used is Bloome, the Orbit collection, a Robert Allen exclusive, as well.

Probably one of my favorite! Price wise, they are mid range, colors, endless, sizes, wide range of sizes, function, they are one of the most functional, you can have the top down/bottom up style, cordless for child safety, useful for sky lights, flipped vertically for patio doors, and motorized. They will protect your furnishings from harmful UV rays, the honey comb construction is very efficient and will help your space to retain the heat in the winter and the coolness in the summer.and they look stunning with the various colors and fabrics.

The sky is the limit when it comes to drapery hardware. How do you decide what type to use?

I will have to ask, are your draperies,traditional, contemporary, transitional, whimsical, or it has a definite theme?

Also I might ask, is there a space limitation? on each side of the window, or above. That can be a factor in selecting one hardware over the other.

Every element in the drapery’s design is important and it can make a definite contribution to the over all look of the draperies.

Take an example the tie backs, a simple drapery panel can be turned into a magnificent one by adding a special, tassel tie back or a decorative embellished one.

Tie backs could be made from natural materials, such as raffia, dried flowers, tree barks, ceramic beads, and materials of similar nature for that special look that one might desire.

Pleated fabrics, ruffled fabrics, trims, fringes, pleats, buttons, grommets, bows, and ribbons, to name few ideas that can be added to the tie back to make them unique!

Often working from home is challenging, you have to be motivated, focused, and organized.  Having a well designed office is a must to give you that boost of energy you need to be productive, motivated, and up lifted.

Here are some points to consider:

• Get your office organized! There is nothing more distracting than a cluttered office that will cause delay and aggravation. ( see link below for an organizer)
• Select your color schemes carefully. Choose colors that you like, colors that give you happiness and put you in a good mood. The type of work you do can have an influence on what colors to choose. If you need to be energized pick reds, yellows, tangerines, and colors that have less gray in them, more clear rather than subdued. If your line of work require that you stay calm, then blues, greens, and soft neutrals would be good choices to consider for a calming serene environment.
• Have a theme; select your furnishing and accessories accordingly.
• Vary your texture for comfort and interest.
• Do not forget the ergonomics; treat your spine and joint with TLC. After all safety, comfort, efficiency, and productivity is our goal.
