Design Discovery & Window Treatments

Pulin & Xu Residence

November 21st, 2024

Window Treatment:

Option 1 - Install a ceiling mounted sheer drapery panel (This would stack in front of the glass when open) This will allow you the flexibility to close completely for additional privacy when needed The sheer fabric will be light filtering to allow for the sunlight to still come into space

Option 2 - Top down/bottom up shades - this will allow sunlight to enter through the top while keeping the bottom covered for privacy

Example of drapery panels stacking in front of window (Option 1)

Design Direction for office:

Example of Top Down/Bottom Up Grass Shade (Option 2)

Option to do a bold paint color on cabinetry, update light fixture, add art in space

Example below shows drapery panels stacked in front of glass (Similar to how option 1 listed above would be )

Another option is to paint all of office a moody paint color, add art in space, update light fixture

Example below also shows how existing wood tones can be incorporated into moody design

Option to wallpaper ceiling Office

Window Treatment:

Install drapery panels around window Panels in a fabric with pattern and color will add a lot of character to this space

Design Direction for Dining Room:

Dining Room

Hide rug option with color sprinkled in

Reupholster the exterior of existing dining chairs to add another element to furniture, new rug, add art for color over existing console, possibly incorporate wallpaper or textured wallpaper to warm up space Drapery panels could also have some pattern and movement to them (photo left)

Window Treatment:

Add ceiling mounted drapery panels with soft sheers, stacking to one side

Would recommend draperies to stack on this side

Update Rug:

Switch rug to a round rug to match curves of furniture Example of sheer window treatments.

Living Room

Example of Sheers:

Design Direction for Living Room:

We can possibly reupholster existing accent chairs to add some pattern and color to space. Also incorporate art:

Add light fixture, Light Fixture Option

Another route is to leave space pretty neutral and bring in color through accessories, pillows, & art:

Do any of these spaces stand out to you over another?

Window Treatment:

Add ceiling mounted drapery panels with soft sheers, stacking to one side

We recommend this space matching the Living Room The sheer drapery panels will add a soft touch to the space If we did do these we would need to see if you are open to utilizing the opposite door to access the outside (Sliding door closest to Living Room)

Example of Sheers:

Design Direction for Breakfast Area:

Example shows a neutral base with pops of color mixed in through upholstery and accent details Do any of these spaces stand out to you over another?

Example shows sleek & neutral pallette

Custom Base

Window Treatment:

Add ceiling mounted drapery panels on either side of window Do these need to be blackout?

Window Treatment:

We recommend not adding any window treatment on this window as we feel the beauty of this window is the greenery coming through and the natural light it is bringing to the space

If a window treatment is a must it will need to be a light filtering roman shade, mounted above glass - around ceiling line

Primary Bedr

Example of ceiling mounted drapery panels

Design Direction for Primary Bedroom:

Larger rug so the bed and sitting area feel connected

Color Palette Options

Do any of these rooms resonate more with you?

Window Treatment Gameroom:

Unless you feel the existing roller shades are not functioning as you need them to in this space, we recommend keeping them

With how these windows run down the hallway, we feel there are other ways we can add to this space to pull it together

Window Treatment Piano Area:

Add drapery panels on either side of window

Adding panels here will be a great way to add some pattern and/or color to space It will add to the intimate feel of the piano area

Gameroom, Hallway, & P

Drapery panels & overall aesthetic

Design Direction for Gameroom:

Playful furniture, pattern and colors

Kids station on back wall

Example of a simple way to add a punch of color & texture through accent furniture in the kid’s spaces

Inspiration for bookshelvesaccessories, books, & color

Window Treatment:

Add ceiling mounted drapery panels Panels will all stack to one side when open.

Window Treatment:

Add an outside mount, fabric roman shade to window Taking roman shade above window will help elongate the window

We prefer a roman shade over drapery panels because we feel with the window being smaller and not centered on the wall the drapery panels will feel heavy and closed in

Example of ceiling mounted drapery panels stacked to one side:

Example of roman shade and wallpaper in bedroom

Design Direction for Bedrooms:

Playful wallpaper behind bed with coordinating painted walls on remaining walls

Add coordinating wallpaper in bathroom

Update light fixture, textured wallpaper

Window Treatment:

Add drapery panels around window, adding color to space

Design Direction for Son’s Room:

Solid color drapery panels, painted room the same color as drapery panels creating a cozy and cohesive palette

Son’s Room

Window Treatment:

Add roman shade panel from ceiling

Design Direction for Guest Room:

Color Palette- Soft blues, grays, serene, neutral tones

Guest Bedroom
