New England’s changing seasons bring a variety of weather but this Cape Cod home will be able to enjoy the feel of cool ocean waves and sandy beaches all year round. A beach house dining room gets an underwater theme update.
The naked window BEFORE
The photo above is how the window looked when we began. There was a 1″ metal mini blind for privacy and sun control. The client tells me the previous owners had a dark plaid on the windows; sounds more lodge than the beach.
Underwater theme dining room
Ocean blue and sandy beige beach theme fabrics are perfect to create this custom window treatment.
The statement fabric is from the Barbara Barry Collection exclusive to Kravet Fabrics. It is an exceptionally fine cotton from Italy. The stripe will compliment the underwater theme fabric as a contrast lining. The seersucker sea-foam stripe is reminiscent of rippling waves. The decorative trim cord will tie the treatment together as you would tie a boat to the dock. Stripe fabric and decorative cord are from Trend Fabrics.
A simple scallop and cone valance is perfect to keep the focus on the large-scale of this undersea motif fabric. Cottage white Hunter Douglas Alternative Wood blinds will be added for privacy, sun control, and security while maximizing the view.
The best way to envision how a custom window treatment will look on a window is to do a design rendering right on a photo of the actual window.
