This room would have been very plain without the just right amount of color to create a beautiful living space. The drapery panels use a elegant striped gold and red toned fabric, which puddles to the floor creating a look that is daring and stylish. The panels are kept narrow, as not to overpower but enhance the room. The drapes are then finished with a topper in the solid red that matches the stripe. The unique pointed shape of valance allows for the window treatment to be cleverly trimmed, at just the bottom edge, with a color coordinating trim and a tassel for just the right finishing touch. An accent rolled pillow used on the chair pulls your eye into the room, using just a touch of red. So go ahead give yourself permission to be creative, to add that touch of color that transforms a room from lack luster to a magnificent space. Create a home that speaks to you, seduces your emotions and warms your heart.
