The cost of window treatments

 
So what is the cost of window treatments?   It is really up to you what you spend, we generally work to your budget, with some guidance as to what your budget will buy you. For example Journey Home has supplied curtain treatments from $450 to $9000 per window and everything in the middle. 
Bronze finished timber rods with brass trims, elegantly support heavy insulated curtains and sheers.
 
It all depends if you want something simple
 
Or we can really go to town.
its totally up to you!
 
For clients who don't need the whole room designed, Journey Home offers a window treatment service to select the right product type, the right fabric choice and nut out the little details for your windows.
 
A rebate is offered against the service fee if a certain amount is spent on window treatments.

Budget break down on an Art Decor Inspired Bedroom

 Art Deco Inspired Bedroom Suite
 When clients ask for "Classic Modern" the above is a style that comes to mind. 

To take these stylish transitional pieces from this studio photograph to a stunning real life master bedroom I would choose a warmer tone for timber or carpet flooring and use a larger rug.

Items pictured above are:
  • Stacked chest of drawers with textured fronts and loop handles.
  • Bedside cabinets with textured fronts and loop handles.
  • Queen size upholstered bed head in textured duck egg blue & sage fabric
  • Carver chair
  • Rug -which I recommend in the larger size of 243 x 305cm 
  • Solid crystal based lamps
  • Empire style Swarovski Crystal Austrian Chandelier - this piece is one of a kind in Australia.

  • Other items I would recommend to complete this setting are:

    •  This elegant bed end stool (space permitting) which would be upholstered in a luxurious feeling fabric


    • Beaded Mirror

    • Decadent bed linen 

    
    
    Queen size quilted duvet and pillow case set +
    Queen size sheets and pillow case set with silver grey embroidery.

    • A very plush queen size ensemble at the top end of commercial bedding featuring a 10 year warranty and all the creature comforts.  

    • Window furnishings - For this setting I would specify both sheer and block out curtains in a simple elegant style like this...
    Beautifully made curtains are an essential Bedroom component.
