Dressing Windows with Style

Piega is one of Sydney’s leading specialists in soft window treatments. Beaches COVERED. caught up with Director, Alison Walker, who’s inspired to create beautiful window treatments for our coastal lifestyle with her mobile showroom.

Well-chosen window treatments complete a room. To an already stylish room, they add warmth and elegance while window treatments can transform an otherwise plain room into a space that is warm and inviting.

We all want beautifully styled rooms. However, when you DIY without experience, you’re prone to making these mistakes.

"I'm inspired by our gorgeous coast and the beautiful natural materials that are around us."

Here are Piega's top fi ve tips to help dress your windows in the best way possible.

HANGING CURTAINS AT THE WRONG LENGTH OR HEIGHT

Tip: Hang curtains high and long to make your windows seem larger.

NOT LAYERING FOR THE SEASONS AND LIGHT

Tip: Make your rooms comfortable all year with a translucent layer to reduce glare and a blockout layer with a thermal backing to darken the room for sleeping.

NOT UNDERSTANDING YOUR HOME’S STYLE

Tip: Every home has a style or mood. You need window treatments to enhance that mood or style.

LEAVING WINDOW TREATMENTS UNTIL LAST IN A NEW BUILD OR RENOVATION

Tip: Talk to your builder early so you don’t spend extra money retrofi tting pelmets, power and any other fi ttings.

TRYING TO DIY WINDOW TREATMENTS

Tip: Get help from a professional who will help you customise your window treatments. Do it once, and do it well.
