This room is an excellent example of ceiling mounted curtains behind a fixed pelmet or cornice.
This space has a wonderful collection of features and dramatic use of pattern and color as a feature wall.
The damask look wallpaper provides the room with definite personality and is unmistakably the focal point with the television screen centered on the wall.
The curtains are functional in this room, they provide a softer subtle backdrop allowing diffused light to filter into the room. The choice of a natural color sheer fabric means that it is not competing for attention with the feature wall.
