The Finishing Touch For A Remodeled Dining Room
A newly remodeled dining room deserves those perfect finishing touches that bring the entire space together. In this project in Lee’s Summit, MO, Solar Shield Blinds collaborated with Jami Meek Designs to create an elegant, traditional feel with custom silk drapery. The goal was to soften the room while creating a dramatic backdrop to almost frame the lake view through the windows.
Warmth And Texture Without Losing The View
The designer wanted to add warmth, texture and elegance without taking away from the view. Custom drapery offered a solution to bring those elements into the room while making the windows a focal point of the overall design.
Why Silk Is Dressed By Hand
To achieve the goal, our Solar Shield Blinds install crew installed custom silk drapery along a wall-to-wall drapery rod with tiebacks as the solution. Working with silk requires extra attention during installation but specifically after installation when it comes to dressing the drapery. Unlike other drapery fabrics, silk doesn’t handle moisture well. So instead of steaming, the panels had to be carefully hand-dressed and hand-pressed. This allows the fold to take shape naturally as the fabric hangs without exposing delicate material to hot steam.
How The Room Feels Now
That’s part of what makes custom drapery a special solution to a room. Elevated comfort isn’t always about blocking sunlight or adding privacy. Sometimes, it’s about how a space feels after all the details come together. The softness of the silk, dramatic draping and the way it frames the lake view, all work together to create a dining experience that feels more inviting and thoughtfully finished. It’s a reminder that the right window treatments can do more than dress a window.
