DECORATING IMPORTANT

Bedroom design emphasized

AS PEOPLE look into their homes
as a place for relaxation, the typi-
cal bedroom is transforming into a
master suite.

No longer simply a place to lay

one’s head, the bedroom is now a -

haven of tranquility.

Bedrooms are more spacious.
They include sitting areas, often
with large fireplaces. And, adja-
cent to the bedroom is a large spa-
like bathroom, often with exercise
equipment and a whirlpool.

Together, the bed and bath of
the past comprise the master suite
of today.

Unlike the past, when guests
were limited to such public areas in
the home as living rooms, today’s
master suite is no longer off limits
to friends.

The master suite is a design

showplace, an area where decora- -

ting dollars are dedicated to fine
furniture, works of art, accessories
_ and window coverings. With so

much emphasis Placed on decora-

ting the master suite, homeowners
now proudly show this  well-
designed area of their home to
guests.

The emergence of the master
bedroom suite has brought with it
unique needs for window cover-
ings. Both the bedroom and the
bathroom feature large, expansive
windows.

Speciality windows such as
skylights, arches and angles are
prominent in the room for greater
emphasis on style and design with
a feeling of opensiess.

Like the windows they adorn,.
window coverings must make a.
- fashion statement, provide a feel-
ing of airiness and openness, and.

ensure privacy when needed.
‘Now, as individuals look to the

‘ master bedroom suite as the centre

for relaxation, they will look to
window coverings and other fur-

_Mishings to reflect their lifestyle

and personality.
