(NAPS)—“God is in the details,”
legendary twentieth century architect
Mies van der Rohe said. The
minimal interiors he created were
unforgiving in that any small mistake
is apparent. But even in less
minimal interiors savvy designers
know that details count. Peter Fallico,
a contemporary interior designer
and TV personality, believes
that it’s the details that give depth
and interest to interiors. Quality
and fine craftsmanship provide the
bones of good decoration.
For color, Fallico favors the
calmness of earth tones but with a
hint of jewel colors to spark a
room’s ambiance. If you look
closely at landscape paintings
there is often just a hint of red that
sparks all the browns and greens.
It’s the same with interiors.
At the windows, Fallico likes
layers, but no swags and tassels,
please. He often uses Hunter Douglas
light-diffusing Silhouette®
window shadings framed by drapery
panels or the texture of wood
blinds from the Country Woods®
Collection™, which comes with the
exclusive TopShield™ finish to help
protect against everyday wear.
The array of painted and
stained finishes and the abundant
choices of decorative tapes and
three architectural wood valances
in this collection enables matching
the window coverings to the
room’s décor. As Fallico says. “It’s
all in the details.”
