Graphic Design by Lisa L. Slowik

What do you do when the view beyond a window is, well, to die for? You design for it, of course! The following photographs illustrate a variety of ways to frame a picture-perfect view, as well as enhance it through the use of complementary furnishings and accessories-while keeping in mind the all-important functional needs that assure happy customers both day and night.

Draperies made with ADO Decor 1003 fabric dress this room in rich elegance, yet still allow the beauty of natural sunlight to pour in and surround dining guests in luxurious warmth. The drapery and swag treatment's formal design is a high-end treatment worthy of the view it frames. This beautiful setting is framed like a treasured photograph with a delicate, yet vibrant sheer swag. The Design Trends wrought iron rod, by Kirsch, has a gorgeous Roman Verde finish and serves as the perfect jewelry to this ensemble. These Roman-fold döfix cordless shades operate on side tracks that allow them to be closed from the bottom up or top down to give privacy without sacrificing the view. To add a touch of color and contrast to the otherwise neutral setting in this sunroom, a contemporary patterned fabric is alternated with solid-colored fabric for modern-day appeal. The dark colors and stark contemporary furnishings in this solarium provide a breathtaking contrast to the rugged landscape beyond. ThermoVeil[TM] shadeclothes from MechoShade Systems, Inc. deliver optimum solar protection, greater use of natural light, brightness and glare control and energy savings. Choose manual, motorized, automated, and computerized solar shading systems.
