“Drapery panels really finish
off the look of a room, but
the fabric can be extremely
expensive if you choose a
natural silk.” Instead switch to a
synthetic fibre made to look like
silk and add a heavier lining to
the back of the panel to give it
body. The lining and
faux-silk combined will be
much less costly than the silk
fabric alone! For an even more
custom look, add a contrast
band along the sides of the
panels.”

“Buy one great piece of furniture! It may seem
obvious, but purchasing a great sofa for your main
sitting room will save you a lot of hassle and headaches
in the long run. Make sure your sofa is well-made,
comfortable and covered in a quality fabric so it can
take daily wear and tear. This Nova sofa and chaise
has down-wrapped pillows making it comfortable for
lounging!”
