Pillows can have tassels, fringes, fur, laces, or buttons. The possibilities are virtually endless. That means you can use different elements to create a unified look without giving up on variety. attempt a collection of pillows that share the very same shape and fabric but come in a multitude of colors; or why not a mix of different pillows in pure white, showing off different textures and trimmings?

Windows are an crucial design feature in any room. Your choice of d?cor will greatly affect the way the window lights your room. Therefore, choosing drapes and blinds is an crucial part of your decor concept.

If the architectural elements of a room are pleasing to you, and you want to accentuate them, you should choose blinds or panels that reinforce the lines in the space.

When you chose curtains or blinds, do not forget to consider how they will look when drawn at night. The block of color or pattern, will become a big decor feature, and must fit the decor theme.
If your windows are double glazed, they will insulate the room without needing heavy fabric. In such a case, you chose drapes based solely on aesthetic and safety considerations. Sheer light weight fabrics that float on the breeze, or are translucent are viable options when you have double glazed windows.? Organic fibers like bamboo silk and organic cotton are non toxic and non allergenic. Mixing cotton and voile will provide privacy while yet allowing natural light through. The combination of matte with sheer is a winner!

In a room where you want a linear orderly feeling, Japanese Shoji panels that alternate between one matte colored panel and three sheer panels will help you create those long straight lines. They are also very versatile. Since they attach with Velcro, you can change them seasonally, or as the mood strikes you.

Drapery finials and rods must be consistent with the room's decor, and help to tie it all together.

The dark Cherry Rosewood finish is amazing on this piece of furniture, isn't it?

That alone spells out elegance. Add to that the flowing design a la Ming dynasty and you get a perfect stand for a goldfish bowl, or, if you prefer to keep it vegetarian, for a vase or a planter.

While the style is Chinese and Oriental, take note that it would look good in any upscale room, and can blend in with an eclectic collection of other pieces. Casual it isn't, though, and requires some formality around it to fit in properly. So, think Oriental, but think Chinese Emperors rather than peasants.
