A Creative Solution – Roman Panel Blinds for a Large Window, Maida Vale London W9 15th Jul 2016
The living room of this apartment has a lovely big window with views out onto pretty Maida Vale. It is a big window in 3 panels. It lets in lots of light and is in fact a central feature of the room. Usually, we would recommend curtains for a window this big. But this particular situation called for a more creative solution. Take a look at the adjacent image.
Toiles de Mayenne – Striped Fabric for Curtains and Roman Blinds in London home 7th July 2016
It’s hard to believe we are already celebrating the first anniversary of our partnership with Toiles de Mayenne. The beautiful Toiles de Mayenne fabrics have been woven in France since 1806. Striped fabrics are a particular speciality. Given the context, this is the perfect opportunity to share with you a recent design example using the same fabric with subtle variations in colour across different rooms for different types of windows in the same home. The result – a lively, breezy cohesion that is very contemporary.
