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 home. After 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!

Custom Wood Blinds- an Edward Jones office in Fort Worth- TCU neighborhood

Normandy Wood Blinds: Made from one of the most environmentally sound hardwoods available; masterfully crafted to produce a flawless wood grain finish. Normandy® Wood Blinds are designed to provide distinction to every window in order to exceed the highest of expectations

We recently had the pleasure of working with an Edward Jones Financial Consultant during his office remodel. He contacted us inquiring about custom blinds and ended up choosing the Normandy Wood Blinds, in Black Walnut with 2" slats. The end result is handsome and elegant; the richness of the wood is visible from every angle. Very impressive!

Take a look at what the office looked like without blinds:

This window previously had vinyl mini-blinds.

There was a substantial amount of light coming in. 

Inside the consultant's office.

After we installed blinds:

The addition of the wood blinds brought depth to the room, as well as comfort and warmth. The rich wood completely transforms the room! 

It was a great experience working with Harry & Kim- we look forward to working together with you in the future! We're glad you love the new blinds. 

If you are in the Fort Worth area and are in need of Financial Planning, we can recommend The Edward Jones office of Harry Goolsby, located at 3517 W Biddison Street (Suite 4) in Fort Worth.

Good Quality Wood Blinds

Among the many looks that you can instantly create by using treatments is to install a new window blind. Wood blinds can add charm and elegance to any room in your home, and are available in different wood finishes or you can have them stained to complement the existing furniture in the room.

More benefits for wood blinds

- Variety. No matter what the internal system, you will find a great selection of wooden window blinds that perfectly complement any taste. Wooden blinds are especially effective and are a great match for tropical decor.

- Customization. Wooden blinds are available in many options for prefabricated, or you may choose to use wood window blinds of the same wood that the window is made of or of any other material of your choice.

- Personal preference. Wood Blinds provides an additional level of privacy in the room where they are installed. These types of blinds add warmth to your room.

- Energy conservation. Recently, most wood blinds are constructed with materials heavier than blinds made of vinyl or plastic, they block the heat during summer and cold air in the winter to reduce your heating and cooling bills.

- Durability. Wooden blinds are more durable than other types, in fact, many owners report having the same blinds for many years without the need to replace them.

Faux wood blinds

Real wood blinds are more expensive than other types (but worth the investment). If your budget does not allow for real wood, faux wood blinds is an option that give you the wooden look without the price being higher. Faux wood blinds can be found at affordable prices, which are known for their high moisture content - will never warp or crack. Search for faux wooden blinds that are built heavier than the highest quality materials.

Instructions for Care of wooden blinds

Caring for your wooden window blinds is easy, but care must be especially given when cleaning real wood because it is easily damaged.

- Gently vacuum the blinds from the brush head of your vacuum hose. Tilt the slats in the blinds for both.

- Wipe with a dry cloth - never use water to clean wood blinds. The water can cause the wood to warp or bend.

- Use non-wax furniture polish or oil with a soft cloth to give your blinds added Shine.

- Every two or three years, use a wood cleaner such as oil soap to thoroughly clean your wood blinds.

- If you're worried about damaging your blinds while cleaning them, there are professional cleaners who will come to your home and clean the blinds for you.

How to Choose Window Blinds for your Home

Finding that perfect window blind can be a tough task. You want to add the blinds to your room to keep out light or just let the right amount of light in but at the same time you want them to look good and match with your current décor. You also don’t want to spend too much money and yet you want to ensure that you are picking a durable product.

To ensure you are getting the best window blinds for your home here are the two most important steps.

You must first measure your window, what good is a blind that doesn’t fit at all or doesn’t fit well. It will affect your décor negatively so save yourself two trips to the store by measuring first. Blinds fit inside the window frame so your measurement should be within the frame from one end to the next. You mustn’t only measure the width of the window but the length is important just as well.

The next important thing you must do before you go shopping for window blinds for your home is to decide what purpose your blinds will serve mainly. This will lead to another point where you will decide if you will need thicker blinds or blinds made of a certain material that are designed for specific purposes. If you choose your blinds well you may be surprised to see just how much money you will start saving on electricity after you have installed certain types of blinds.

Some other helpful tips for helping you select the window blinds for your home are if your windows are large. If they are ceiling to floor windows you can think about using vertical blinds which are usually used for doors or in office buildings. You also want to ensure that the color of the blind is in keeping with your current décor.
