I love the Arched window and the light it lets into and fills the room. But sometimes I would like to be able to block and filter the light. The Off the Shelf stuff for window treatments I didn’t feel are affordable and a good fit for what the vision I have for the window and how it fits in with the other decor.
The design of the Window Treatment sold at Lowes I don't feel fits the decor and style of the Home Office Space I am creating. |
The desired look I created in this space is a combination of Modern and Old World Style that eliminates the expensive molding and framing used to enclose or picture frame the window. I chose the sleek "no frame" inexpensive sheetrock only frame that blends in with the walls without destracting from the focal point of the room - Fireplace and Mantle.
Here are a my sketches of how I am going to DIY a window covering. Scotty Nov 2020
While pondering the materials to use for the shade I am realizing how easy the oriental style fan design would filter the light, that train of thought inspired the idea that two or more filter systems could be created in varying degrees of filtration.
Stay Tuned as I figure out how to put it all together and work out the small stuff. I'll be posting more info in the near future on the Covid Home Office Makeover.
The upgraded and upcycled Antique Fireplace Mantle is also nearing completion! I should have it all put together soon.
