Decorating Dilemma:
One of Steve’s valuable tricks when approaching design questions is to first evaluate if we're addressing the right problem. Rather than jumping straight to solutions like window treatments or drapes, it's essential to understand the underlying issue. For instance, in a situation where sunlight is too intense, replacing drapes with a willow cover outside the doors might recreate the desired soft, dappled light. By focusing on solving the light-related concern, we can explore options like lightweight iron structures with Willow fencing to create a Provence-inspired atmosphere. Additionally, considering shears or Roman shades for smaller windows can complement the overall aesthetic without obstructing the light. Ultimately, it's crucial to prioritize addressing the quality of light in the space rather than solely relying on window treatments.
