Do You Decorate
Coastal?
Many homes in the
Ocean State decorate using a coastal theme. No matter where you live in Rhode
Island, you are not far from the beach, so you can use either window treatment
to bring summer into your home year-round.
The window
treatment on the left is Country Curtains Seaside Lace (similar styles
available at www.heritagelace.com).
On the right, are Plantation Shutters from a hardware store. Both have a
coastal flare.
Plantation
shutters add style to any room. They are long lasting and low maintenance.
However, they typically cost more per window than a regular curtain set up.
Nautical lace curtains come in a variety of patterns and can dramatically
improve the look of any room. They are easy to install and can be changed with
the seasons. However, they are harder to keep clean and may fade.
Whatever your
preference, both can add the perfect coastal touch that you are looking for
and, chosen properly, can radically slash your energy bills.
