The Everything Room

Created and Written by Barbara J. August
Graphic Design by Elizabeth Milnes

Great room, "rec room," family room or whatever you may call it, these fun-to-design living spaces serve many purposes and needs. Make your interior designs as individual as your clients' with ideas from the following pages of decorating styles perfect for "The Everything Room."

Surrounding this dreamy decor is Seabrook Designs' Coastal Cottage wall covering and fabric collection, designed to create a fantasy room style reminiscent of an oceanside escape.

A natural/neutral palette with plenty of texture gives this room a warm casual look, while Kirsch Design Trends leaf finials and pole in satin antique finish work perfectly with the tie-top panels. Kirsch Entre Shadows pleated shades provide a clean undertreatment. The raffia used to tie back the panels is repeated on the clay pots throughout the room.

To satisfy today's demand for comfort and versatile styling, ADO offers its ADOvert, a practical and pleasing alternative to verticals that replaces rigid vanes with soft fabric while retaining light and view control.

Passages custom vertical blinds from Hunter Douglas Window Fashions are shown here in knit Macra. The Shirr-Delight® valance is featured in the eight-inch Parfait Chintz[TM], a shirred poly-cotton fabric. The vanes rotate 180 degrees to allow a full view of the pool area without the direct, glaring rays of the sun.

Louverdrape PremierLine[TM] vertical blinds in Terra, one of more than 500 available fabrics.To highlight the dimensional style of the treatment and provide a finishing touch, a DesignLine valance adorns the top of the free hanging louvers./TD>

Wild Rose macramé lace and sheers from Heritage Lace are custom sewn to suit even hard-to-treat windows. Popular neutral colors throughout this great room are enhanced by deep jewel tones and natural wood finishes.

This seaside living room features the sleek Cortina window shade from Hunter Douglas. The semi-sheer screen-like shade reduces ultraviolet rays while letting in maximum light and is available in five colors to coordinate with most any decor.

To create this beautiful window shade without sewing, döfix iron-on RF transparent tape was used to guide the pull cords that operate the balloon treatment. The header tape is döfix iron-on smocking tape with 2 1/2-to-one fullness. The side panels use döfix iron-on pinch pleat tape as header tape and döfix Bortenfix 3/8-inch hemming tape to attach banding and lining.

Levolor wood blinds complement this family room setting with the warmth and texture from natural wood. Shown here in sand wash finish with dark bronze twill tapes, these blinds add style and rich color to the space.

To provide quiet, smooth operation of the draperies that dress this room-full of windows, a Silent Gliss 5100 motorized system with optional remote control was chosen. The motor can be recessed into the ceiling for clean look.

The panorama of Graber Koppertone aluminum vertical blinds makes a dramatic statement in this multi-purpose living area. Ideal for light control and easy maintenance, these elongated vertical louvers complement the large scale proportions of the walls and ceiling beams in this room.

At this inviting country-style window seat, Hunter Douglas Country Woods[TM] custom wood blinds create a monochromatic look with two-inch antique white slats that match the painted wood trim, furnishings and decorative bird cage.

To create the perfect welcoming backdrop for family gatherings, Comfortex Softline mini-blinds with the anti-flutter design to keep slats in place, are offered in splendid color to coordinate with decors from elegant to rustic.

This casual living room is decorated with the soft, elegant Winchester custom top treatment, a rod pocket tapered valance from Carole Fabrics. Gentle coloring blends with the black Oriental screen and pastel color palette.
