Austrian curtains are one of the oldest window shades.  Dating back to as early as the 18th century, Austrian curtains also known as festoon blinds, have graced the home of royals for centuries.  The style of shade became increasing popular, and can even be found in popular Victorian style homes.
The shade is best know for its semicircular folds are festoons from the bottom up.  When raised the folds become even more pronounced and full.  This shade works best in soft sheer fabrics.  Most popularly made in sheer voile, batiste, and even really sheer linen fabric.

We offer an upscale version of the Austrian curtain.  Our sheer Austrian is made from designer sheer voile fabric.  Four times the window length is included in our shade to ensure extreme fullness.  This creates privacy but still allows light to filter in.  The shade can be made in custom widths of up to 103" and custom lengths of up to 120".  Visit us today to view all of our custom roman shades.

Decorating with Accent Pillows

Accent pillows are a great way to quickly update and freshen up your decor.  Every now and then, everyone wants a little change.  After all, the same scenery day after day can become quite mundane. There are a few things you should consider when selecting new accent pillows. 

Consider the space where you want to place the accent pillows.  Look at the existing decor in the space.  Consider the size of the existing furniture in the space.  The size of the pillows will be determined by your existing furniture.  Whether you are placing pillows on accent chairs, dining room chairs, your bed, or your sofa, the size should coincide with your existing pieces.   Lumbar pillows and boudoir pillows are great for accent chairs and dining room chairs.  Standard lumbar size pillows range from 14" x 18" up to 16" x 34".   Custom sizes can be made as well. 

Square pillows also known as throw pillows work best for sofas and bedding.  Standard square pillows are anywhere from 18" x 18" up to 30" x 30".  Larger pillows work best on larger sofas and bedding and create a really comfy feel.  Bolster pillows are another great option for bedding.  Bolster pillows come in a variety of sizes that will accommodate your bed size.  For example, 9" x 24" bolsters look great on twin size beds while 9" x 48" are perfect for queen size beds.
