Life times worth of experiance to make your home look fabulous by professional interior designer Angela Blackhall. Angela Blackhall, furnishings guru and owner of "The Sewing Room" has been making clothes and curtains since the tender age of severn! According to her, curtains are a brilliant place to start when furnishing, "a window is an important focal point in any room, get your curtains right and your well on your way to a stylish abode" says Angela. Not all of us, however, have Angela's flair for colour and design, so here are her top tips to help you on your way.... "You probably already have some idea of the style of curtains you would like to make. Before making a firm decision though, take the time to look through your favourite homestyle magazine or visit a few 'show homes', as these are sure to give you some new and inspirational ideas." According to Angela you should always consider each room in the context of your home as a whole, as it's important to bear in mind both the type of atmosphere you would like to create and the function of the room. Lounges can be formal or more relaxed and functional, dining rooms can be dramatic and yet bedrooms can take a softer more feminine look. With this in mind, Angela stresses how her home visits really enhance the service she offers, as the visits enable her to really get a feel for the room. "Colour is really important as it affects our mood, so give some thought to the look and feel that you would like to create" says Angela. When trying to visualize your curtain design, Angela's handy tip is to sketch out your window treatment to scale on a piece of graph paper. "This will help ensure that you have the correct proportions and is particularly useful when planning a valance or pelmet to complement your curtains", says Angela "It's the first thing I do when designing a window dressing". Angela's passion for interior design and her relent-less drive for perfection have gained her a loyal customer following - her very competitive prices have undoubtedly helped as well! She recommends not using strong, plain, dark colour for your curtains next to light coloured wall, as this can often create too strong a statement. "If you are set on a darker tone, but would like to reduce the impact, then why not select a contrasting border or trim that co-ordinates with the wall colour, or choose a fabric that combines the darker colour with a lighter shade". Rest assured, though, that Angela's unqiue colour co-ordination service helps avoid any unsightly mismatches or mistakes! In summary, if you want your home to look great than you've got to have fab curtains and window dressings. There's noone better, at creating these than Angela, She'll work within your budget, will visit you in your home and she won't stop working until you're thrilled with the results.
