You'd be forgiven for not giving this private home in Cardiff, Wales a second glance. Nestled away from sight, what appears as a small single-storey house quickly transforms into a stunning statement home.

The owner wanted window treatments that complemented the open plan, daylight-rich Scandi interior. The brief was to provide soft shading which contrasted the hard  surfaces, including the black metal framed Crittle doors and windows. The wide doors in the main living arear required the power of motorised track SG 5600, supplied in black in line with the theme of the decor and window frames. Wave curtains in Polyflax gently diffuse the daylight, flooding the room with a gentle ambience.

The master bedroom required layered curtains to provide both privacy and room darkening. System SG 6465 in black was selected, again, the shape and colour perfectly complementing the window frame. Swiss headed curtains in Polyflax provide privacy whilst Wave curtains Leviso ensure a good nights sleep! The combination of the two heading styles not only adds interest but also limits the space required. The childrens bedrooms are fitted with roller blinds SG 4910 for room darkening with roman blinds SG 2305 for decoration.
