A lovely barn conversion with a bedroom offering a few challenges.
- The window on the left went right to the wall leaving no space for a finial.
- Some boxing in at the base of the wall on the left hand side meant floor length curtains could be tricky.
- The head of the window was low
- The window came close to a neighbours boundary so something was required at the window for privacy.
- The client wanted impact without fuss and interesting detail.
The first part of the plan was to use an operational Roman blind mounted almost at the top of the wall and for the large mirror to leave enough space for the Roman blind, the Walcott pole and the dress curtain on the left hand side of the window. A polyester linen sheer on a Silent Gliss 1090 track was installed for privacy.
Add dress curtains in a silk/linen mix by Wemyss Houles with a lovely detailed heading. The bottom hem of the curtain was cut and shaped around the boxing. The room instantly looks taller and with the huge mirror in place looks much larger too.
The quilting and the bedspread were made to our exact specification by Cliq designs.
These turquoise studs which have been pushed through a double pleated heading are perfect with the design of the bedspread fabric. Walcott have such a stunning range of curtain hardware and have lots of really innovative ideas for curtain hanging systems.
The exquisite velvet headboard was made by our wonderful upholsterer Stephen Ball.
And even the handles for the wardrobes fitted in beautifully with the scheme!!!
Most importantly , our client was thrilled with the end result.
