Large Doors are Perfect Canvasses for Window Treatments

Large doors are perfect canvasses for window treatments. The right treatment will serve as a bonus interior design accessory. Home improvement shops in Tampa usually have a wide range of window treatment options for any type of window.

Floor-length curtains and draperies are the best choice for large windows. These types of window treatments are classic and traditional choices for wide windows. These large curtains and draperies are an excellent alternative to panel track blinds or vertical blinds, which are common choices for modern homes. Also, remember to consider the size and styling of the curtain rod and curtain grommets which also serve as accessories to curtains.

Graphic shapes and patterns on curtains and draperies give a modern feel to a room. Bold colors also liven up a neutral-colored room. Dark colored treatments should be avoided because they make a small area look even smaller. Hunter Douglas has a wonderful line of large curtains and draperies in various styles and fabrics. A lot of home improvement stores in Tampa carry Hunter Douglas products. It’s much harder to choose blinds. A vertical window blind, such as a vertical blind or panel track sliding blind, usually works best on windows that are wider than they are tall, and add height and formality to a room. Horizontal window blinds on the other hand, such as wood blinds, work best on windows that are taller than they are wide, and enhance a cozy and casual decor. Also, wood blinds are very heavy and are not a good choice for large windows where the blind needs to be raised often. Try coordinating panel track blinds for your large windows with roman or roller shades on your smaller windows. Artistic Windows of Tampa provides a wide range of choices for all types of blinds.

Shades as window treatment for large windows can also be a challenge. Solar shades are perfect for large windows especially if the room gets a lot of sun exposure. Solar shades filter harmful UV rays and regulate a nice and comfortable temperature for a room. Hunter Douglas has a line of solar shades that can fit an interior design scheme.

Bathroom Lighting

Do you find yourself not wanting to look at yourself in your bathroom mirror in the morning? It may simply be because you have poor lighting. Lighting naturally creates shadows and if you don’t have your lighting properly planned, you may find that your newly remodeled bathroom isn’t the happy place you thought it would be.
I’m writing this article as a result of numerous questions from my neighbor who is remodeling. Being a lighting professional, they have lots of questions for me regarding their bathroom lighting. In Bathroom lighting design, there are many decisions to make. From design and placement to what fixture to use to what light bulbs are best. I’d like to take you around the room to give you a rule of thumb when planning your own bathroom lighting design.

Shower Lights
Showers are a space that you no doubt need a form of recessed lighting. In addition you’ll want to use a light bulbs rated to use in the shower.
Personally, we have a dimmer on our shower light. It allows for a slow wake up by anyone getting into the shower before the light of day.

Bathtub Lighting
Depending on the height of your bathtub and if it is separate from your shower, your lighting solutions here will be different. Let’s assume you have a separate bathtub here. Typically, you will be using recessed lighting above your bathtub area. It is not necessary to have water rated fixtures and light bulbs in this spot. One or maybe two recessed fixtures aimed at the outside of the tub will provide what you need.
