Favorites: Inspiration from Domino- The Book of Decorating


Production of Domino Magazine ceased in Spring of 2009; Thankfully, we have the ever-amazing Domino Book of Decorating- our new decorating Bible! It never ceases to bring new and fresh ideas. I own many decor and design books and magazines, and I honestly can say that Domino is the best inspiration. It's pages are lined with the latest and the most classic of decor and design styles and trends. So far, I've found the best decorator's handbook for draperies and upholstery and shopping resources guide with Domino. It was definitely written by people just like us- they appreciate good information and inspiration from A to Z, they have the same questions about decor and the answer to many of your design dilemmas. The book is laid out in room-by-room chapters, with guides on buying furniture, how to choose your style of bed, rug, dining table, console, etc; and how to mix and match pieces and why they work together. If you're redecorating or remodeling, Domino is a great book to have; it helps you decide which items to trash and which ones to restore, as well as how to identify your best pieces and which ones only "take up space"- or clutter, as some of us call it!

At Trinity Uptown Custom Window Coverings, we have a passion and love for decor and design. As you may have noticed, other than sharing with you information about our new and current products we offer and photos of our satisfied clients, we want to share with you what's inspiring us; in hopes that you'll find inspiration too. We're going to be showcasing not only our favorite styles and photos of inspiring spaces, but also resources and articles that will hopefully help you in your quest to make your living space a reflection of you and....make it homeAfter all, home really is the most important place in the world! We just may be a little partial to windows and window treatments, but we're not letting our creativity stop there; we have great enthusiasm for every room in the house!





Ever thought about layering rugs? I'll admit, when the idea was first presented to me, I thought it was ridiculous! That is, until Domino changed my outlook- once again. This sun room/lounge area is "rocking the kasbah" with several flatweave rugs in orange & red palettes. We also couldn't help noticing how well they were paired up with the natural-hued luscious drapes in the background! 








More great design ideas we love:


Here's an idea: floor-to-ceiling velvet drapes create height and drama in an otherwise small entryway. The possibilities here are endless.



Great color inspiration! There's the right way to leave your walls white!


Wonderful mixture of patterns with the wallpaper and pillows. 


This living room is a great balance of bright and happy, combined with serene and peaceful. Perfect!

Can you notice a trend? Dramatic drapes, and focus on fabric and textiles!
