Simple Country Cafe Curtains
Sometimes when we need a little privacy a cafe curtain is a great solution. Here in this country log cabin, cafe curtains have been used to create privacy and still let in natural light as the interior is very dark. A translucent fabric has been used to maximize the light whilst still creating privacy. The curtains add a tiny bit of softness to a very masculine room.
Romantic Country Curtains
This bedroom window has been decorated to create a wonderful backdrop for the feminine ornaments.
They are well formed and shapely and so is the lace to the sheer curtains, held at the top with a simple casing threaded through curtain wire.
With the light coming through and the curtain puddling on the sill, the soft feminine form is continued.
French Country Shutters
Shutters are popular in french country interiors. The use of rich color on these shutters make them a focal point of the room framing the wonderful view into the garden.
Sometimes we can go over board with window treatments, if you don’t need to block out the view for privacy, then don’t! Let the natural light in and warm the home, and you can enjoy the view!
