Oh my. I love my tall shutters. I did not want them when i bought my house. They were here. But i have grown to love them. My ceilings are high. Every morning at 7:00am i open them across the front of the house. I close them at twilight. It is a ritual now. The back of the house has curtains which i want to replace. That is why i clicked on your video. Thanks for the great tips.

Hello, Miriam! I am now retired as a high-end residential interior designer in the US. In all my years of designing, I very seldom saw interlined window treatments. Mine were most often interlined! I found that it gave the treatment a softer, more lux look. it was also wonderful additional insulation for either the heat of summer or the frigid cold of winter. My window treatments also held up much better as well as hung better from the beginning. I would imagine that interlining would often be used in Canada?

Your videos are very helpful, and I watch them regularly. Much as I also admire you and your personal style, maybe when you are offering tips, you could give more screen space to your design scapes, and not to yourself.. The designs are in one corner and disappear even before one can make sense of them, and we just see you. You could just keep the audio going, but concentrate more on what you are advising on and showing. Julie Khu does that.. Herself, she shows enough of in introduction. After all, you are designing spaces, not attire and get up... 😄

Thank you 🙏🏼! Easy to understand! Q. I need to add fabric to my velvet panels for a better lengths (they’re short 8”) and wonder if I can just add a different (but compartible) color of velvet panels to the bottom… would that work well?? Thank you 🙏🏼
@miriammanzointeriors
2 жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for watching you could absolutely add a contrasting panel at the bottom! Typically when doing that I like to add a heavier fabric which in your case isn’t possible, so instead I would add a darker colour to get the illusion of more weight at the bottom and I would also take the line of the bottom of your window trim and match the seam between the two colours to that. so for example, if your window trim is 2 feet above the finished floor that would be the size of the contrasting panel. Hope this helps

One question I remembered to ask...Help me understand why a drapery rod used for only panels (side draperies) are 1) black in color, to be seen and 2) is installed across the length of the window/door, again to be seen? I guess my interest here is - shouldn’t the design want to eliminate another object to look at? Why not use shorter rods that are 24_30” L?
@miriammanzointeriors
2 жыл бұрын
Hi thanks for watching, there are a couple of reasons to use a full rod rather than two shorter ones. the first is that the rod going right across is more lux; using two shorter ones actually looks like you tried to save money, the second reason is that it would actually be more distracting and make you notice that rather than the beautiful drapery panels and other details in the room

I first learned about colour when doing a Colour Me Beautiful course in the 90s. First thing the lady said "Colour defines the shape ie if your red top finishes across your widest part, and your pants/skirt begins there your widest part is highlighted" (approximate quote!). Also useful for me was: In spaces, pale colour makes the walls/item receed. Dark colour will make the walls/ item 'jump out at you'/catch your eye. I use these ideas in rooms now. I'm in small spaces so I use pale shades and only colours that blend so very little 'jumps out' at me. I heard another useful tip: paint A4 sheets of paper with paint colours you are considering and pin them round the space, moving them into different lights to see how they look/make you feel. Or cut pictures from magazines of rooms you like and replicate(even cheaply) 3 or 4 main characteristics in your space. I'm a self-confessed style nerd. Sorry long text. G Ire

I know this is an older video and you may not see it but give some advise please to “ poor me”. I have a townhome with a bay window. The middle window is larger than the side ones. I have white wooden blinds that the first owner put back in 2001. Still excellent condition , it’s my living room and I keep them open for the morning sun because I also have a few plants in that room. I would like some nice simple drapery. These blinds are so heavy to pull. How do you style a bay window. Local designers want to come in and consult for entire house. I don’t have any budget for that. I’m just trying to do the best I can from watching you tube designers . Any suggestions please😢

Also, with 10’ ceilings do I go all the way up with the drapes to my crown molding..or just part way between the top of the window & the crown. Your examples are so beautiful & elegant.
