Rooms with a View

Rooms with a view inspire us to be aware of the beauty that surrounds us every day. Take these ideas and fill your clients' homes with the warmth and glow of sunlight, the color and charm of a landscape or the soothing effects of a seaside view.

This rustic log cabin dining room is enhanced with Fresco shades by Graber®. The curves of the fabric replicate the curves of the logs in the walls to soften the view to the outdoors. Using the patented Soft Touch Cord Release[TM], these shades are easy to operate.

Silhouette® window shadings from Hunter Douglas Window Fashions create the perfect decorating solution in this Mediterranean bath where the view is spectacular, but optional privacy is necessary. Featuring fabric vanes suspended between sheer facings, Silhouette offers a soft-focus view of the exterior with the option of tilting the vanes for gently filtered light control or total privacy. Silhouette also can be raised into a color-coordinated headrail.

Light is softly diffused through these Symphony® double honeycomb cellular shades by Comfortex. Highly insulating and easy to care for, Symphony creates a room as beautiful as its view.

The Men-tality collection from Seabrook Designs features everything from borders to fabrics to create a comfortable, masculine look. Styled by Pamella Wahlberg, Men-tality offers six different design groupings: an outdoor theme of fishing gear and berried vines; an Old World map with a narrow architectural border; a large floral mix; a classic paisley and foulard group; and a Jacobean and a novelty border of nautical crests.
