Press release – November 2009 Launch of new Home Décor Site

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

Fabricworkroom.com is proud to announce the launch of their new home décor site atHomeAccents.com; a site where you can find savvy pieces to accent your home. “The new site was designed to offer our customers a complete look to the rest of their home”, states co-founder Jackie S. Keehan. “We are so successful at helping thousands of customers over the years decorate online we felt a need to expand our offerings. Our new products are the icing on the cake and we are really excited about it!” FabricWorkroom.com (available online at http://www.fabricworkroom.com) works with high-quality fabrics to create a range of home furnishings like window treatments, drapes, upholstered headboards, fabric shower curtains, pillows and bedding. With the introduction of www.atHomeAccents.com, you can find decorative pieces such as mirrors, table lamps, chandeliers, clocks, baby blankets, hotel style bedding, linens, towel sets, throws and more to make certain no corner is left unfinished.

atHomeAccents.com will still offer the same superior level of customer service as FabricWorkroom.com with live design consultants Monday – Friday from 9AM to 6PM EST. The philosophy will remain the same, keeping prices within reach and much lower than the decorator and designer would charge. It is now easier than ever for people to decorate their homes stylishly yet inexpensively, marrying good taste with good economic sense.

How to handle Window Treatment for Big Windows

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Stumped on how to handle large windows or as some people call them a wall of windows?  There is no doubt that multiple windows on a wall or multiple sliding glass doors or multiple French doors can be a challenge.  However, we have many ways to tackle big windows using decorative window treatments or privacy and light control window treatments.  To help with heating costs, we can add insulated window treatments to reduce drafts caused by large windows.

To get started, ask yourself, what exactly do I need to accomplish?  Whether you need full black out drapes for sleeping and privacy or just decorative panels, both can look stunning.  Generally speaking, decorative panels use less fabric and will cost less money. In this picture, we show one width decorative panels in a grommet drape style.  This is simple and elegant with a bit more contemporary look.  We love the sleek lines of the panels which give the room dimension and subtle accent color.  Drapes don’t always have to scream “look at me”.  The color block drape seen here can be found in our custom drape department.  Using two coordinating solid fabrics can really make your drapes go from ordinary to spectacular by simply adding another color.

This room scene shows 4 panels on 2 rods.  As an alternative, this window treatment project could have been done with one continuous rod and 3 panels.  In that case, we would have recommended the 3 panels be 1.5 widths of fabric to give the center panel a bit more fullness.

If you love the “light” decorative panel look but need some privacy, you can add a sheer window treatment or sheer curtain and maintain the sleek contemporary look of this room.
