An extension to a Railway Station Master's house in need of sympathetic window treatments to echo the arches of the window frames.
The zing of lime in these printed linen interlined triple pleats draws the eye to the greens in the garden beyond.
As a change to silk dupion, matka silk was used to give a fabulous drape to these interlined curtains. Made from weaving thicker threads it still has the luxury we expect from silk. A buttoned triple pleat valance softens the treatment.
Interlined silk curtains, fitted to a very low window. By making them longer and fitting them higher it gives the illusion of a much taller and more balanced window.
A simple bedroom is given warmth with the rich, earthy tones of a bed cover and cushion.
This beautiful oak door, weathered by time and no longer a perfect fit, benefits from the addition of a heavy, interlined curtain to keep out the winter draughts. The triple pleats keep the width to a minimum when drawn back during the day.
Sometimes a window speaks for itself. It would have been a shame to cover up this arch with a straight topped Roman blind.
Puff ball headed curtains are 'dressed' once fitted. This will encourage the folds to fall neatly into place.
Take one window and a client with an eye for a fabulous but sympathetic extension to double the size of a house...
