This style of décor needs as much light as possible, so how you dress the windows is the key to success – the look being carefree by definition. Heavy decorative pelmets such as swags and tails being a definite NO.
The choice of curtain poles in today’s easy access to internet marketing is indeed vast and the Poles and Blinds site is a stunning example of this with their phenomenal selection of curtain poles. A clean pared-down curtain pole such as the Integra Zorb curtain pole is a fine choice, the simple minimal wall brackets and chic polished lines of the curtain pole and finial will blend perfectly with the feel of the room.
This curtain pole is available with an Extendable Double Layering Kit. This allows you to fit two pairs of curtains simultaneously and usually entails a light weight pair of voile curtains fitted to the smaller back pole which is used not only for effect – adding a delicate feminine feel to the room as the voile wafts gently in the breeze, but also for privacy, blocking prying eyes from peering directly into the room or to camouflage a neighbours unsightly adjoining fence.
The curtain pole is also available as a 3 sided bay window curtain pole, easily fitting into the bay with the use for cleverly designed corner pieces.
Blinds whether they are fitted for modesty or security offer a greater degree of minimalism than curtains, which is ideal in a modern home but particularly your living room and bedrooms will need to maintain a warm and comfortable feel so choose the style and colouring with care. The best style of blind often in this situation is a Roman blind particularly if the windows are wide enough to show off the design on the fabric. The Eclectics Virginia Creeper blind makes a fabulous feature, the cool green colouring echoing the colours of nature, always guaranteed to ensure a feeling of restful harmony.
Venetian blinds whether they are wooden or metal can be easily fitted either in a bay window or a conventional straight window. The effect is crisp and fresh whilst also offering privacy day and night. The blades of the blind can be adjusted during the day also for shade and to subdue an unwelcome vista.
When fitting venetian blinds to a bay window, no matter how many sections there are to the bay, each section should be measured independently and then fitted with seperate blinds. It is impossible for venetian blinds to bend around a bay window.
Metal venetian blinds come in a myriad of colours, the lights, especially if they have a gloss finish, will reflect substantially more light into the room than a conventional blind or a dark wood venetian blind.
