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.

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!

The white shade is shaped like a paper fan and will create an elegant understated look that will not dominate the room. It will add atmosphere and an Asian flavor without demanding attention. The pleats are a perfect way to add texture in a white on white decor theme, and therefore avoid the flat look you get when a monochrome room lacks texture.
This 36 by 72 inches window shade is so easy to install, you can stick it on instantly when you need privacy or to block the light. The shade can be trimmed down to fit even a window that is 36 inches wide, or left as is for a window that is 72 inches wide. It comes with a self adhesive holder for windowsill mounting, and can be installed in seconds. The shade is made of durable paper, and can be easily removed. This is an economical way to shade a half circle shaped window.
Here’s a suggestion: Use this fan shaped shade on the window, and then add a few Asian accent pieces around the room. Try a Japanese theme, with an iron tea pot and Raku glazed ceramic cups. Add a floral arrangement of cherry blossoms on long thin branches, and throw in a white porcelain Neko cat for luck.

The colors are so cheerful and the shapes so delightful, that gazing at the wind flowers will encourage happy thoughts and sweet dreams.

Windows are an important design feature in any room. Your choice of d?cor will greatly affect the way the window lights your room. Therefore, choosing drapes and blinds is an important part of your decor concept.
If the architectural elements of a room are pleasing to you, and you want to accentuate them, you should choose blinds or panels that reinforce the lines in the space.
When you chose curtains or blinds, don’t forget to consider how they will look when drawn at night. The block of color or pattern, will become a large decor feature, and must fit the decor theme.
If your windows are double glazed, they will insulate the room without needing heavy fabric. In such a case, you chose drapes based solely on aesthetic and safety considerations. Sheer light weight fabrics that float on the breeze, or are translucent are viable options when you have double glazed windows. Organic fibers like bamboo silk and organic cotton are non toxic and non allergenic. Mixing cotton and voile will provide privacy while still allowing natural light through. The combination of matte with sheer is a winner!
In a room where you want a linear orderly feeling, Japanese Shoji panels that alternate between one matte colored panel and three sheer panels will help you create those long straight lines. They are also very versatile. Since they attach with Velcro, you can change them seasonally, or as the mood strikes you.
Drapery finials and rods must be consistent with the room’s decor, and help to tie it all together.
