Red Walls And Curtains:
Choose tracks or poles that are strong enough to support the weight of the curtains. They must also be long enouc overhang each side of the windows by 1 2in (25-30cm), depending on the fullr of the curtain (see p. 90-91). It is advisj to install tracks and poles before measi curtains because the shape of the wind or the style of curtains intended will gc where the hardware is placed. Curtains also hang from ceilings, and in front of shelves.The walls have been painted a vibrant Mediterranean yellow. It's a strong colour, but it's calmed down a little with an understated oatmeal carpet and rug, a dark metal fire surround and lots of old wood with a mellow feel. Curtains made from a muted lavender-coloured walls and curtains fabric make an unlikely partner to the yellow walls, but it works well, again cooling and softening their brightness.
Interlined curtains in tactile faux suede look rich and opulent as they pool on the floor. They also insulate the room and exclude draughts - good news, as a fifth of all heat is lost through windows. The curtains are made from two different coloured walls and curtains materials to create a wide border at the bottom - a nice, decorative touch on otherwise plain curtains.
