The Power of Pink

February 16, 2021 by megan Leave a Comment

Pink is not just for little girls. When you use pink in your design plans, the effect can be everything from sugary sweet, glamorous, bold or ethereal, it just depends on your style.

I love the flat lay above from Stout Brother’s, it’s a great example of adding layers of pink into a color scheme. In this case it’s used to create a casual, feminine and somewhat earthy feel that is very soothing.

Everyone is familiar with the intense pink little girls often love. I was once asked to do window treatments for a little girl’s room. This is what it must be like to be inside a piece of bubble gum, but she adored it! And since the client is always right – I adored it too!

If you are going for a more glamorous vibe, you’ll want to tone it down to a subtle blush, (which, by the way, is very flattering to most skin tones). Add lots of white and mirrored or glass surfaces for a very sophisticated version of pink. Click on the photo and you’ll see this over-the-top glam bedroom and get an eye-full of pink that is all grown up.

Another trend we’ve been seeing lately, is pink being used in very dramatic ways like this handmade peony wallpaper from England. I love how they used it here to create a bold look with a vintage feel. It would also be great in a powder room to make a big statement in a small space.

Domus Venus, is one of my favorite Instagramers and she always manages to use pink without making it feel at all “precious” as you can see in the two rooms seen below.

The soft pink curtains and rose colored crown molding create a wonderful contrast to the giant mural that dominates one wall.

In the second photo, she uses a framed wallpaper mural that would normally be considered very feminine but in this case creates a dramatic impact through the sheer size and depth of the image.

Pink is on trend right now and it’s fun to see how using it in different ways can create such different effects. Just remember, no matter what your color scheme, you can create a dreamy, soft look or make a bold statement by changing up the intensity of color and the scale of pattern you choose to use.

Designing for a Baby’s Room

February 7, 2021 by megan Leave a Comment

Every project starts with an end result in mind and the journey there always requires creativity and often a little bit of engineering. This was the case in a project we did recently with with Dana, a wonderful designer from The Dana Touch

Creativity

It’s going to be an interesting project when I get a call from Dana, she always has a vision for the window treatments and just assumes I can figure out a way to make it happen. The baby’s room we worked on recently was no exception! She had the idea to add ombre linen side panels to the one large window in the room. It already had shutters, and she wanted something feminine but not too babyish. Her color scheme was shades of mauve and she envisioned curvy drapery rods to go to the left and right of the shuttered window.

Engineering

Curved drapery hardware is something we do when we need a curtain to follow the curves of a room, or to accommodate corners and bay windows with fully functioning draperies. Typically, we are working with a gentle curve for a bank of bow windows or a 90 degree corner. What Dana was asking for was a curved rod over a very short span. With bent rods the fabricator always requires a full scale template and we create this by using the existing curve we are trying to follow, but in this case, the curve was inside the designer’s head, and it took a few sketches and conversations to get it out of her and onto paper.

Inspiration

The color scheme was set, the fabric, paint and wallpaper were already selected, it was just a matter of figuring out the drapery hardware. The sophisticated palette and materials being used called out for something glamorous not babyish and I had the perfect thing – crystal finials! With that decided, we moved on to the job of creating the perfect curve. In the end, we used a piece of cording to manipulate the shape into a pleasing curve that was not too snake like but not too flat. Once we had that, we figured out exactly where the brackets would go so they were hidden but able to properly support the weight of the finial and the drapery panels. Then it was up to the fabricator to bend our new creation into shape.

Installation Day

The best part of my job is how it all comes together on installation day. All the creativity, inspiration and problem solving finally come together as the installer, who has the hardest job in my opinion, makes it look effortless as he patiently waits for us to decide exactly how high the rod should be, how close to the shutter the panel should fall etc. And then he does his magic as he secures the hardware and dresses in the new curtains to make them hang “just so” ready for the big reveal.

Window treatments are an important part of interior design helping all the elements in a room come together in a cohesive way.

Whether it’s a simple project or a challenging one, creativity, engineering and inspiration are all involved to ensure a successful installation every time.
