I’ve got a new Designer Trick post lined up for you today! I spent a few hours perusing the fabric store and chatting with my workroom this week, in an effort to nail down window treatments & upholstery for our little camper makeover. While in the fabric store, I was thinking this could make a helpful and interesting blog post. I talk about window treatments frequently here on the blog, as I believe they make a big difference in the look and functionality of a home. However, I’ve never really shared what goes into specifying window treatments from a designer’s point-of-view. Specifying window treatments actually used to be a big part of my job when I was working full-time as an interior designer. The firm I used to work for had our own studio workroom and seamstresses on staff to create whatever we could dream up with an array of designer fabrics. Whether you’re looking to go the custom route or would like tips on making budget-friendly readymade options look more customized, I hope this post sheds light on a variety of options for any style or budget. I’ve also included lots of helpful stylistic visuals.
