The total revamp of your living room is not something that you can afford to do too often so careful planning will need to be given to ensure that the multi-faceted nature of the area is maintained. The living room is where the leisure time for the family is mainly spent so the colour scheme should be easy to live with, warm and welcoming. Neutral coloured walls in warm tones such as pale caramel or soft cream can be dressed up with a clever choice of curtains in an eclectic modern fabric.

The Integra Gainsborough curtain pole will make a harmonious window accessory whatever the period of décor and can be dressed up with generous widths of floor sweeping curtaining and deep headings, or dressed down with an unlined pair of voile curtains that perhaps extend significantly beyond the window opening giving the impression of a much grander window.

For a curtain pole that will really steal the show, the fabulous Galleria G2 Mosaic Gold Ball curtain pole will transform even the most modest of ready-made curtains, giving you pleasure for many years, long after you have forgotten the extra cost – remember you will be looking at your curtains for a long time.

Roman Blinds make a good alternative to curtains in a living room. They do not have the austere finish of a Roller Blind and are available in numerous colours, patterns and price ranges. A new window blind such as the Vivacious Ruby roman blind will rejuvenate a room in an instant, especially with a few additional home accessories that carry the bright crimson floral pattern through to the rest of the decor.  The luxurious suede effect finish of the Bedrock Stone roman blind will give a modern pared-down look, the plain fabric being especially ideal in a room that has several windows of different sizes, offering uniformity to your window arrangements.
