Did you know that here at Monarch Creations we can create custom window treatments for you? You probably didn’t because it’s not mentioned on our website. But we can. Just take a look at the beauties we’ve featured below…
Recently, we created draperies for a good friend’s beautiful new home on the lake. She trusted me enough to be the first to punch holes in her pristine new walls. I love friends like that. I couldn’t be happier with the way things turned out. It’s amazing how draperies instantly add a sense of warmth and coziness to a room — even before any furniture and belongings have been moved in.
DINING ROOM
———————————-
First were full length draperies for the formal dining room’s double french doors. Just take a look at the beautiful trim work and casings in this room. Gorgeous! The bold patterned fabric works so well with the scale of the room. These draperies are approximately 10 feet in length. We created a slight puddling effect on the beautiful hardwoods.
We opted for pinch pleats along the top. The wood rings make it easy to slide the draperies open and closed to access the french doors when needed.
The six foot wooden rods and rings are the perfect complement to the fabric pattern and light fixture in the room.
GIRLS ROOM
———————————-
Next up was a fun room for a little girl. In the room is a single full length window and a window seat with a double window above. The pink & brown color scheme is so sweet and feminine.
On the full length window we opted for a single lined drapery panel due to it’s location against an adjacent wall. This time, instead of pinch pleats along the top, a simpler rod pocket with ruffled header. We added a coordinating fabric detailing along the top and along one side. We finished it off with a custom tieback in the coordinate fabric.
There’s something about a window seat that is so inviting. I’d love to have a place like this to curl up with a blanket and a latte.
We made some matching drapes for the window above the seat. They’re sized to be able to close for privacy, if needed. But they can easily be pushed back again to reveal an incredible view that looks as if you’re in a treetop.
This is one beautifully huge window seat cushion. It is 4 inches thick, and almost 6 feet across. I did a silent prayer when I put it into place. It fit like a glove. You’ll recognize the fabric from the detailing on the draperies, and the cushion is corded in the alternate fabric. Details like this make a room feel totally custom and finished.
All this little space is missing is some matching throw pillows!
