Suggestion for day curtains
Comments (6)Hello everyone, thank you for your comments. It is my first time using Houzz forum so I'm pleasantly surprised by the responses. My furniture: I have mainly neutral tone furnitures (white B&B fat fat coffee tables, B&B Solo couch with light grey textured upholstery, Eames LCW chair in birch, an opaque glass rectangular dining table with black metal legs, Starck Lizz white dining chairs, and light brown leather bed frame, Cassina Utreche dark brown leather armchairs, etc) and I spice it up with red/colorful accessories (red Vitra elephant stool, red Vitra ball clock, orange smeg fridge, etc). Hope you don't mind me going into details on the furniture. I hope to give you all an idea of how my space looks like for better advice on the curtains. I prefer curtains to blinds because I find blinds difficult to clean (I prefer to be able to wash my curtains). I agree that grey may not be a lasting colour. My current curtains are off white/beige. I have my day curtains in organza with some designs on it and night curtains in 100% cotton. However, I realize that I do get tired of the print on the day curtains so I want to try a plain one for my new home. In additon, I want more light to come through the day curtains. For the night curtains, I'm trying to avoid cotton since I realize that it shrinks easily (even dry cleaning). My curtain maker says polyester has less shrinkage and are easier to wash and does not trap dust unlike cotton. I'm toying with the idea of the linen like fabric for a slightly different feel but I've not seen this in actual curtains before and I'm worried it may not turn out well. For organza, I know it will be a safe choice. I'm torn between being on the safe side (but almost everyone else will have similar day curtains in our condo) or trying the linen. What do you all think? Will you go for safe off white/beige organza or slightly different off white/beige linen-like fabric? Sorry that my comments are so long....See MoreHow does this work?

Comments (20)work out the wall space you want to cover, measure this on the floor. then start laying out our design within the space on the floor to create your design. There has to be lines running through the collage so there is a method to the madness- we don't want a messy looking arrangement, there must be a flow. You can line up the matts with outside edge of other frames etc. Layout all of your pics on the floor and mix up the frame styles and sizes amongst your layout. Take photos of your layout and then start hanging. My tip is don't start hanging until you have your plan 100% !!! lots of neck stretches too! i recently put together this collage and need a neck massage afterwards ;-)...See Morei am bored with the look of my home!
Comments (26)Hi. It's looking really good and you've done well with the bookshelves! ! I love the new sofa! I would say just a tad more yellow if your husband can bear it, doesn't have to be solid yellow. I'd add something else on the left shelves (I'd move one shelf of photos to the right hand shelving and swap for some books), maybe a ginger jar if you can get an old one. Maybe a patterned throw or cushion for your wooden chair and a small yellow throw for the bench just draped over the corner. Table idea sounds great. Are you happy with it? I think it's made such a big difference...See MoreSingaporean Houzzer? Say Hi!

3 years agolast modified: 3 years agoHi Rashmi,
Let's start back at the beginning of your initial question. I believe that this space is very important to compliment the architectural feature of you upstairs balcony. Do you want to keep everything as contemporary as your sectional or are you open to adding accent pieces that may be ornate or wood to break up all the white paint that you have in the room.? A couple of chests would be good on each side of the doorway. They could be different but complementary styles. I think you could add mirrors (Look at John Richards) or art. There is an artist that has very interesting contemporary work that would fit well in a contemporary environment. Her name is Carol Benson Cobb. They have Mirrors with painted frames that transitions with art pieces. That could be very cool. Her art is organic and not fussy, but really beautiful. As I'm sure you are aware that down the road you would like to anchor that TV with a nice Media cabinet, and add other pieces in the room that build height into the design. Check me out under pros. I work with Hoffman and Albers Interiors. I follow their page and they follow me.
Here to help

3 years agoVery pretty house. I would do matching consoles but I would keep them very simple. These have some weight but are light. A matching pair of vertical art pieces to frame that nice hallway. Yes it’s a bit off center but if you do the consoles light to match the walls it will be less obvious. Hang the art in relation to the door opening. You want to highlight that and the pretty ironwork above which appears to be centered.
