Upholstered beds are my preference. Since bedrooms are all about the bed it makes sense that a statement bed means a fabulous bedroom.
This is one of my favorites. I would change the chandelier and add the headboard I will be showing in in my next blog, Inspiration Headboard and How To Get The Look. I can’t wait to do the research for the ornament. It probably will not adapt to an upholstered headboard but it is fabulous. So until next week.
Not sure I agree with this list, but here it is with pictures for your enjoyment.
Catherine Palace
At the top of my list as well.
Exquisite floor, ceiling, walls and doors.
The amazing Amber Room. In a class all by itself.
Love this wall of individual panels for the artwork.
Sleeper-McCann House
I disagree with this choice. Not in my top 10.
Castle Howard
Powerscourt
Marble Palace Mansion
Because this is a private residence no photography is permitted.
The Design Directory of Window Treatments
A cornice is an architectural header treatment: a plain box, upholstered or embellished with soft treatments.
A Pelmet is a decorative, stiffened valance, which may be flat or have stiffened sections or fancy shapes. A pelmet is always stiffened and interlined to avoid sagging and rippling. Welting and borders are often used to accentuate the shape of the pelmet. A pelmet can be used in combination with jabots, cascades, tails, swags, or flags.
This is a great classical look. Seamless integration of windows and walls with panels and beautiful architectural detailing and ornamentation.
These windows appear to be arched with the incredibly gorgeous ornamentation.
If privacy is not a factor, using molding and architectural features for windows and doorways adds tremendous Classical style to an interior. It will not get dusty and can easily be painted in a new color to change the room. This is so handsome why would you want to cover it with fabric. It is a great approach when you have door and window combinations.
