Great Ideas for Your Home

Grass and roman shades offer endless possibilities From function to finance the sky is the limit when it comes to dressing your windows. "Keep it sleek and simple with a roman shade or add a grass shade for some texture," says Holly Williams, a designer at Steve Peterson Interiors. "Be bold and brave and layer silks, satins, and sheers." Williams says window treatments set the mood for the room. They add definition and softness to the structural framework of our homes. "The trend in the privacy area has been to move away from the linear wood blind to the softer and more textural grass shades. The roman shade is another pleasing alternative to the wood blind. The roman shade has clean lines. It also offers endless possibilities of fabric allowing for amazing design and style," Williams says. Williams also suggests homeowners use a semi opaque fabric to create a soft transition from the inside out. "Fabric treatments are more inviting and allow light from the inside to be seen on the outside of the home, giving your home a pleasant glow in the evening," Williams says.
