The Window Treatment

The practical purpose of window treatments is two fold; they provide privacy and manage daylight.  In addition to the practical is the aesthetic enhancement of the window architect and the larger room decor.  Window treatments add dimension to a room, create an element of texture/color and offer an upscale touch to any space.


Great attention was paid to the seamless integration of this bedroom's window treatments with the existing tray ceiling.  Important to the room design was maintaining a clean line where the ceiling meets the wall.  Using substantial decorative molding, to hide the treatment hardware, was important in producing this clean, subtle look.  Adding to its overall subtlety - intensifying the monochromatic palette, muted in color - panels were constructed out of the French Linen, offering a touch of luxury.  For practical purposes, automated cellular shades were installed to manage day lighting.  The entire picture framed the room in an understated tone of grandeur.
