Color My World

When I was a young girl, my room was painted a periwinkle blue and my bedding was a gorgeous bright and cheery floral coordinate. I have very fond memories of that room and how happy it made me feel.
It makes one realize the power of color when creating an interior design. Of course as my focus is usually window treatments, I am particularly crazy about window fashions that use color ever so..."correctly".
Here are three beautiful designs that grabbed my attention for different reasons.

This girl's BR is quite dreamy. The simply stated goblet pleated drapery at the window is a perfect accent in a shade of citrus green. The vertical focal point all the way to ceiling height keeps the striped bedding active, but a soft touch against the bluesy walls.

Beautiful drapery swags in a bold bold stripe! The gilded rods painted black. The trim is Scalamandre. Notice the top down bottom up shades as the first layer for privacy and light control. That means no fussing with the drapery. They will remain dressed and in perfect balance to the grand Regency fireplace.

What a warm and inviting room!  The color on these windows is perfect. The treatment design is also spectacular: Pickup swags on solid cornices and fluid banded drapery. These transom windows, adorned with sophisticated fabric and color take the room to a whole new level of interior design.
