What elements are involved in a nicely designed window treatment?
Lyon: Scale and proportion are very key to successful design. There must be balance between the window treatment and the rest of the room, both in size and maintaining flow of the architectural components of the room. Cincy Chic: What are some quick and easy tips you can offer Cincinnati women? Lyon: When purchasing ready-made treatments from a store, make sure you use the appropriate size hardware for the treatment. Also, using the proper fullness in a treatment goes a long way in giving ready-mades a more professional look. Always use two and a half to three times fullness. That means if your window is 36 inches wide, then 90 inches to 108 inches of fabric should be used. Another very important tip is to always select fabric before selecting a paint color when re-decorating a room. While painting is the first thing done physically when redecorating, paint color selection should be the last decision made in the decorating process.
