The project
Roman shades and drapes in the living room
Goal of the project
In this recent living room project in Franklin Lakes, NJ, our KOPA interior designer recommended changing the drapery panels and replacing the roman shades. Clean lines, neutral colors and balanced fabric panels bring the space together in a modern, sophisticated way.
Stationary side panels
The custom drapes featured here are stationary side panels, meaning they are decorative and do not close. This allows the windows to feel finished and framed, while using a minimal amount of stacking to keep the full view.
Clean-cut length
The living room wall these windows are on already has several bold pieces close by, like the large stone section, fireplace, wooden mantel, wall-mounted television and wood-trimmed arched ceiling. Because of this, keeping the drapery lines clean-cut and balanced is important to the design of the space.
Subtle roman shades
For privacy, our KOPA designer and the client chose to match the roman shades to the window trim color. This allows the clients to close the roman shades for privacy, while keeping them disguised and hidden when up.
Neutral palette, minimal decor
The overall color scheme of this living room focuses on neutral tones, creating a calm and soothing environment. The soft tan of the custom drapes complements the neutral shades found throughout the space. The pale walls, mix of neutral colored furniture, and natural wooden floor form a balanced whole.
The room’s decor is minimal but impactful. Overall light neutral colors with a handful of contrasting pieces add visual interest without overwhelming the space. Well-placed accessories contribute to the room’s overall aesthetic while maintaining a clean, modern look.
Tips for achieving this look
Keep a neutral color palette. Neutral tones create a calming atmosphere. Use variations of cream, beige, tan or off-white to keep the space feeling open and relaxed.
Add contrasts of color. A few darker items make the space feel more inviting.
Balance your furnishings. Opt for furniture that is comfortable yet streamlined. Low-profile furniture helps maintain an open, airy feeling, especially in rooms with high ceilings.
