(NC)—Bigger isn't always better. These days, homeowners no longer covet more space than they need. While many people are choosing to live in smaller spaces, they still wish to have a graceful and decorative home. Decorating experts at Hunter Douglas, Canada's leading manufacturer of custom window fashions, offer the following tips for scaling style and elegance to fit more intimate spaces:
• Clear out Clutter: A rigorous editing of possessions collected over time will result in a more spacious home. For a classic and airy setting, Silhouette window shadings from Hunter Douglas offer the light-control and privacy aspect of a blind combined with the softened light and view-through of a sheer and protection from UV rays.
• Consider Colour: Pale tones expand a room while dark tones shrink a space. Choose lighter, harmonious colours that can be used to connect the rooms.
• Add Texture: Texture can be used in place of a pattern to add interest. Select a textured window fashion, such as hand-woven Hunter Douglas Provenance woven wood shades that bring natural texture to your windows from carefully selected grasses, woods, reeds and bamboo.
• Make Rooms Multi-task: In between meals, the dining table can be used for arts and crafts projects, homework, meal preparation overflow, a library or home office. Use built-ins and flexible furniture to create a room that is as appealing as it is efficient.
• Divide and Conquer: Create a home office or separate bedroom without costly construction. Skyline Gliding Window Panels feature a versatile track system that allows it to be used as a room divider as well as a window treatment.
Using these tips, you can learn how to live large with less.
