Redecorating Dining Room - Window treatments (7)

The window treatments have been added to my newly redesigned dining room.  I chose to do long drapes hung just below the crown moulding.  Hanging the drapes close the the ceiling helps to create height and draw your eye to the ceiling.  This is important, since the ceiling is painted a unique yellow color and I want to bring attention to it.  The bone colored velvet fabric is a nice contrast to the chocolate brown walls and helps to lighten up the room.  The raspberry trim is a fun color and adds a little detail.  The decorative wood rods have an intricately designed finials and rings.  This design works well with the solid fabric drapes.

The velvet window treatments are interlined which gives them incredible weight and helps them to look full and luxurious.

The long drapes make a grand statement in this chocolate colored dining room.

The drapes go almost to the ceiling and bring your eye up to see the yellow paint color.

The room is really coming together.  All that it needs now are some colorful accessories.  Please write me any comments or questions you may have about this redesign project.
