Louis & Antwanette

Traditional Living Room, Melbourne

For a window treatment of this width, several applications of the traditional swag and tail treatment were available to Antwanette. One option was to have three swags, side-by-side. Alternatively, four swags could have been utilised; side-by-side overlapping. The final treatment chosen was to incorporate the three side by side swags and then further augment the treatment with an additional overlaid pair of swags to give and added element of luxury, fullness and relief to the window. We really did feel that stopping at three or four swags without the added relief of the additional overlaid swags would have left the treatment, given its overall size, with the appearance of flatness. Also of note is the tails on either side of the treatment which not only help break up the strong vertical lines but rather than having been self-lined in the same fabric, have been lined in a contrasting coordinated fabric adding a subtle lift to the overall appearance of the treatment.
