WINDOW DRESSINGS

Thanks to Pinterest, Instagram and good old Display Home stalking, i have a fair idea of how i would like to dress our windows. Simple and easy on the eyes is what's important to me. Our house will be very monochrome, with tan leather and a little bit of timber to soften the look, so sheers is the way to go! I would like to go with a local business who can custom make them so they sit nice and neat against the wall. I think sheers that go across the whole wall would look amazing. We have high ceilings so the floor to ceiling/wall to wall will accentuate the height and space even more.  Sheers also provide privacy without losing natural light.

I love how sheers provide the light and airy feel. I would love to find one where you can see out but can't see in. I have seen this in the Washington Display Home in Elara - feels so luxe with added privacy.

Over the last few months, i have collected some photos via Instagram from a designer whose style i envy. How classy does her rooms look?

The bedrooms will have black plantation shutters. In all honesty, i wasn't sold on them at first because i have only seen them in white and i knew white plantation shutters would not suit my home. My windows are black and was not sure if white plantations would look nice against it (looking from the outside). However, i visited a display home in Kellyville (i believe it was Mojo and Clarendon) and was so excited to see black plantation shutters that looked amazing! Very sleek and modern, i knew this was going in the bedrooms!

My office will have the black plantation as well as floor to ceiling sheers. The theatre room will have two layers: blockout blinds in a charcoal colour behind light grey sheers. This is because when not in use, the sliding doors to the theatre room will be left open to let natural light through the hallway, so the blockout blinds will be up and the sheers in use instead, similar to the pic below.
