Practical Window Dressing Or Not?

If you have, maybe you'd like to try this new window dressing concept of having only one curtain hung from a short <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/curtain-poles/">curtain pole</a>!<br /><br />We have all seen one large curtain which is wept to one side and held in place with a tieback, however this new look is totally different as only one half of the window can ever have a curtain pulled across it.<br /><br />This may be innovative but is it really practical? I suppose the answer depends on whether your room is overlooked. If it's not them this style is certainly worth considering and is ideal for a single curtain panel of organza, voile curtains or lightweight natural linen fabric.<br /><br />You have to admit that the idea would certainly solve many window dressing dilemmas and if you were over-looked by neighbours you could also use cheap blinds in a complimentary colour which can be pulled down at night and not interfere with the curtain panel.<br /><br />Team with your duvet sets and you can transform a bedroom into a very chic style which looks far nicer than trying to get a curtain to hang properly behind a piece of furniture! I'd love to hear your thoughts!<br /><br />Image: Desire to Inspire

While it offers a crisp clean look which can give the illusion of more space injections of colour as seen in this floral headboard and contrasting throw are perfect!<br /><br />Additional accessories which blend beautifully are used with great effect. This is the type of stylish bedroom which can be emulated on a low budget, which is great news for many during the credit crunch!<br /><br />Transform a bedroom in a weekend by painting walls and ceiling brilliant white, add a <a href="http://www.terrysfabrics.co.uk/cat/blinds/">cheap blinds</a> in white and but some reasonably priced white bedding. The choice of colours you use to inject your colour is down to a matter of personal taste.<br /><br />I love the bright greens, turquoises and pinks which provide a vibrancy and fresh look which designer Mi Casa Revista have used. The concept of the design was to offer inspiration to others to pep up their homes in a stylish and affordable way. I think they have hit the nail on the head, metaphorically, with this great bedroom design.<br /><br />More Mi Casa Revista inspirational designs can be found at <a href="http://www.freshome.com">freshome</a> where there are design ideas for every room in a home. Adding injections of colour can lift the spirit and the mood- which is something we could all do with from time to time.<br /><br />The whole idea behind the world of Interior Design is to share thoughts and design concepts with others and in my opinion Mi Casa Revista have done just that!
