Office Window Treatment

A client had shutters on a bay window in an office that was pretty dull and boring. She wanted to add an office window treatment to bring some style and color to the boring space. Nearby in another room, there were some plaid wing back chairs. These chairs inspired the color scheme we were trying to work with. She wanted to make a statement with the window treatment since that room was the first room seen when entering the house. She selected a beautiful Wesco fabrics embroidery design that is simply stunning. To do justice to this fabric, interlining was used to add body and then because this window is Southern facing and has intense sunlight, we added 3 pass blackout lining as well. This ensures that little imperfections in this beauty wouldn’t show when light filtered in through the shutters.  To keep the fabric flowing nicely and show the most of the beautiful embroidery details, we didn’t add any pleats to the drapery panels.  This keeps the look simple and allows the most of the design pattern details to show up.
To bring out the deep red tones in the embroidery fabric selected for the office window treatment, the drapery curtain hardware selected to accompany the office window treatment was a 2″ diameter wooden rod from Select Drapery Hardware in Black Walnut. Pineapple end finials symbolize luck in any decor, so we went with them for good luck!
The results were stunning and of course the client was very happy with the final product.  She said she loves to go in the office and read so she can spend time looking at the beautiful floral embroidery fabric on her office window treatment.
She is still able to open her shutters without interference.
And the fabric, style and hardware do make a statement in her home.
