Decorating Dilemma: 

Thank you so much, Barbara! First, in response to your question about fabric ideas for her bedroom, Paolo and Philip suggest opting for a Roman blind instead of short curtains, as it creates a cleaner and more elegant look. They recommend choosing a sleek and washable fabric for the window seat pillows, allowing easy maintenance and versatility. When it comes to the curtains, they suggest either bringing them all the way up to the ceiling for a grand and elongating effect or using a patterned blind that complements the overall design. The choice of fabric depends on the desired mood, whether it's calm and serene or cozy and energetic. Paolo and Philip also advise Barbara to consider incorporating mirrored doors with a more classic design, adding some wooden elements to break up the monotony. They suggest using slightly antique mirrors to create a softer reflection and enhance the room's aesthetic. Additionally, they recommend selecting patterned pillows for the window seat and playing with layers of patterns throughout the room, allowing for a cohesive and visually intriguing design.
