When working with lots of color in a home, it can be overwhelming to think about what you want to accomplish with your window treatments. Matching the aesthetic of the space while achieving the right balance of privacy + natural lighting isn’t always easy.
Sean Carter from Sapphire Pear made it happen with this gorgeous primary suite design in Rocky River, Ohio. Looking for your own way to choose window treatments for a colorful home? This project will show you how.
Thinking about Color
The genesis of this design centered on a singular focal point: The wallpaper. Sean custom created artwork for the wallpaper specifically for this project. The print was then applied to grasscloth for added depth and texture. With rich jewel tones of jade green, barbie pink, and sea blue, it set the mood for the entire suite.
Coordinating Treatments
Top treatments and drapery panels were ideal options to coordinate the color running throughout the space. Embroidery tape in a sharp geometric greek key print lines fuschia side panels for an intense punch of color.
Finding Function
Keeping functionality at the forefront is always important no matter how colorful and photo-worthy the space is. Cellular Honeycomb Shades were used throughout the suite for energy efficiency and general comfort. The top down, bottom up feature helps keep privacy first and ideal daylighting throughout the day.
