Create the illusion of height and spaciousness with few decorating tips!

You have a low ceiling, or a small room?

Here are some tips to help expand the space:

• Paint your walls, crown molding if any, and the ceiling all in one soft color.

• Keep your draperies simple in the design; the fabric must not have a busy or over sized pattern. The background color of the fabric should be as close as possible to the walls color.

• Keep your draperies as close as possible to the ceiling. That will give your room height.

• Full drapery panels are recommended over valances, the length will add height.

• As for pattern, vertical strips will be useful for the illusion of height.

• Keep the room uncluttered, furniture to the minimum needed, and the walls with few art pieces.

A brilliant window covering idea for a Chicago condo!

An installation was successfully preformed for a Chicago Condo. My client needed draperies for the children bedrooms and the master bed room. Since the windows are ceiling to floor, as wide as the wall and the cost to cover them is enormous. One idea we came up with, since the style is very modern, that is to use black out lining only, that will insulate, cut the light, lower the cost, and the ripple fold style will give minimum stack back for maximum exposure of the view, how brilliant is that!

RM COCO black out lining did the job! Client is as happy as can be, simple and elegant draperies that met the needs, and stayed within budget! www.rmcoco.com
