The white background and golden bamboo are translucent but not transparent, so they allow the room to be bathed in beautiful muted natural light, while providing privacy. The design is visible from both sides, so you enjoy the look of stained glass in more than one location. The pattern repeats like wallpaper, so you can add panels top, bottom, left, or right, and it and can be trimmed to fit your window size and shape.

Bamboo is a powerful Feng Shui remedy, so using this window film could raise the positive “Chi” (vital energy) in the rooms, home, office, clinic, or studio where it is used. It also makes a good privacy screen for a glass shower, as the wood energy helps to balance the excess water energy and compensate for the drains.

Even if you simply enjoy the Asian Aesthetic, and appreciate the peaceful and relaxing feeling you get with the Japanese decor , you’ll be glad you chose this window film instead of curtains.

The film filters out UV radiation, and stands up well to heat, cold, humidity, and steam.

Here is a great way to add luxury while keeping the room’s temperature stable. Velvet curtains feel so soft with their plush pile, and they add a sense romance to the room. If you enjoy the finer things in life, consider velvet curtains.

As you can see from the picture, they do not darken the mood of the room, even though they do block the light. This makes them ideal for bedrooms and living-rooms where you watch movies. They would also be fantastic on a canopy bed, especially if you are going for the fairy princes with privacy decor in light pink, or the sophisticated couple in sage green, or the “on fire” love nest in hot pink.

The white velvet would be a perfect way to add texture to a white on white decor theme. Adding texture is important in a monochrome room, as it prevents the room from looking flat and lifeless.

The curtains measure 58 by 84 inches, and they have a nicely tailored pocket to slide the hanging rod through, providing a  clean finished look.

Here’s an idea for the ultimate romantic room: Combine the light pink and sage green velvet curtains, and fill the room with pink flowers on green stems. You will want to write ballads in this room!

This is a lovely decor idea. Take this 69 inch garland of soft fabric flowers on a soft fabric leafy vine, and drape it over a window frame or door frame; wind it around the back of a chair, or up the leg of a table. Get four and wind each one around the posts of a four poster bed. They are so affordable, you can buy as many as you like and do the whole room! The wonderful quality of cloth makes the decor immanently touchable and inviting. The greenery and symphony of colorful flowers are a wonderful way to bring the beauty of a country garden into your baby or child’s room. The joyful ambiance will sooth you, and the pallet of color will pop out at you as you enter the room.

Even if the room was previously painted all in white, it will look tastefully and plentifully decorated when you use these flower garlands. Try a green bamboo wood floor, or a green carpet to maintain the illusion of a mother nature taking over the room, and the vines will look right at home, as if they grew out of the “vegetation” on the floor.  Add a few fairies, or butterflies, and voila! An enchanted idyllic world welcomes your child.

This makes a great gift.
