Fresh Ideas For Your Home - Piano

Adding a piano will create harmony in your decor. It's a beautiful statement that adds rhythm to a room.

A piano is the ultimate piece of furniture to “make” a room, even if no one in your household plays it! A piano adds elegance, class and sophistication to any setting and any décor, from traditional and elegant to contemporary and modern.

Pianos come in many shapes, sizes, colors and styles; from the largest grand pianos
to more petite baby grand and even smaller upright styles.

• A black grand piano is classic; with white walls and flooring around it, it pumps up the drama.
• A polished wood finished piano is perfect to complement your furniture and flooring and brown hues in your rugs, upholstery and draperies.
• A white lacquer piano is also quite stunning.

Before you purchase a piano, think carefully about its size relative to the size of your room because a piano does take up a lot of space! Then think of the practical issue of lighting. It’s good to have a table lamp sitting on the piano or a floor lamp nearby to illuminate sheet music.

Then think about the wall art you’d like near your piano. Music-related art is always fun, such as framed concert posters, photographs of musical instruments, pen-and-ink drawings of composers or abstract art showing musical themes. Make sure artwork is hung at the right height above a grand piano so you can see it when the top is open or partially open.

Want a new bold and beautiful piece to set the tone in your living room? Just add a piano!

Client Work: Britt's Custom Vignette Roman Shades - Allen, TX

View fullsize

Britt and her family bought a new home in Allen, Texas. Most of her windows are covered with wood blinds, but for her family room she wanted something different. Something that would make a statement and shout elegance.

We choose to start the design with Hunter Douglas Vignette Modern Roman Shades. The Earth toned, textured fabric with the soft folds create a crisp, clean look. And because she has two small children, we added the LiteRise (cordless) lift system because of Child Safety. The shades were installed on the French Doors and on the two narrow windows beside the doors. They were the perfect solution because when lifted they give a great view to the backyard letting her to easily watch the children play and they stack elegantly at the top. And when they are closed they cut the glare on the TV and offer privacy and light control.

Then we went on and added drapery panels to the sides to soften the wall of windows and to add color. Come in to Read Design located in Plano, Texas and Southlake, TX to see our working samples of our Hunter Douglas Vignette Modern Roman Shades. They are offered in semi-sheer, translucent and room darkening fabrics, the two styles and three fold sizes help you create warm, inviting, and beautiful windows!
