Window Treatments for Sliding door

February 5, 2025

 

I don’t like old vertical blinds! They don’t do it for me—the way they look, the annoying slapping noise when they slide, and when a blind pops out and crashes to the floor. It can be such a hassle to put it back in. Let’s say they’re not my favorite! We need something that looks great and provides good sun protection right away. Regarding style, I think a combination of full-length woven shades with floor-to-ceiling window panels is super chic!

 

I appreciate the design of these transitional plantation shutters, which have a slightly island-inspired feel. Although they can be challenging to clean, they present a sleek and appealing appearance. It seems that a rolling system needs to be installed for functionality, but they definitely excel in terms of light and heat control.

 

 

There is this more contemporary woven vertical blind look, but I am not sure I like the look.

 

One of my other favorite looks is using just fabric! However, when it’s pulled back, it doesn’t really provide much light control or heat protection. While it looks lovely, I do worry that the edges might end up getting a bit smudged after being pulled back several times during the day.

 

As you can see, you have choices. Which one is your favorite??

 

Art of Accessorizing

June 13, 2019

The appeal of a beautiful room has many aspects, physically, visually, and emotionally. Every room needs careful attention, from floor to ceiling. Each step builds upon the next. Careful consideration must be taken when accessorizing and creating a room. Keep in mind the style and “feel” you are trying to create. What story are you trying to convey?
Here are just some things to consider:

1. Create interest by using unexpected art for accessorizing.
   
     
  2. When decorating, odd numbers work best.
  3. Placing a mirror over a mantel will only reflect the floor, so don’t do it!!

 4. Use old windows, textiles, etc. to create a unique display.
  5. Create your own art or accessories.
6. Hire a professional like Abella Home Staging & Redesign; we’re not as expensive as you think and you will have a one-of-a-kind room.
Whatever you do, have fun doing it. The key is to use art and accessories that feel personal and reflect your taste!!

Redesigning Your Space!

May 30, 2019

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve walked into a clients house, only to hear them say how frustrated they are with their home. “I hate my kitchen.” “My bedroom is a mess; it’s a dumping ground for everyone.” “I don’t know what to do with my family room,” and on, and on, it goes. How can anyone feel right about that? Your home should be a place where you can retreat from this crazy busy world. Not where you come home, and all you see is frustration because it’s not what you have envisioned. Does this sound familiar to you? Who wants to go back to that? No one I know!

Then one day you decide, “That’s it. I’m redoing this space.” Good for you. Where do you begin? You look to magazines for inspiration, but let’s face it, it can be overwhelming. “Where do I get that sofa?” “That rug?” “That dining room table?” “What type of kitchen cabinets should I purchase?” But still, you stay optimistic, “I can do this.” Now comes the costly decision process. “Will, that counter go with that backsplash?” “What kind of flooring should I use?” “I like this dining table but not those chairs. What can I do about that?” “What size area rug should I use for that space?” “What size chandelier should I use in my dining room?” OMG!! Decision, decisions, decisions! And if you make the wrong decision, how much will that set you back? 

This is where I come in. I take away all that stress, all that worry. I know where to shop, what’s trending, what’s not. Please think of me as your personal guide to shopping, here to help you every step of the way. Rest assures when space is completed; you will “FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR HOME AGAIN.”

My goal is to give you the home you desire. So when you come home after a hard day’s work, your home becomes your sanctuary. A place to relax and let out all the worries of the day. No more fretting about how you hate the way your house looks

Please take a look at this brief video that I have created. This will give you a good idea of what can be done, then make the decision today to redesign your space!!
