There's a new trend that is paying homage to homes and styles of the 1940's, 50's and 60's. Homeowners are rediscovering the architectural charms and styling of this era, and instead of eradicating existing structures and styling there's a growing population interested in resurrecting the post-modern flair inherent in these homes.
In America 20 million new homes were built during the baby boom years of 1945-1960 and most of them in the suburbs. The predominant styles of homes built during this period were, the ranch style, the Colonial and Cape styles, and this is also when split levels came into vogue. Homes of this era were typically 1,100-1,700 sq feet and while this may be on the smaller side by today's standards, they are eco-spirited with their compact footprints that take less fuels to heat, fewer chemicals to clean and less material to renovate.

Planning to make some window treatments design for light of your home interior design? Windows come in all sizes, shapes and construction. You can create illusions using standard curtains or other window dressings available today. For windows treatment long drapes are more formal, short curtains tend to be more casual. You can windows treat using different styles to add to your interior decorating, such as country, with wide tidebacks and ruffles.
Traditionally, windows were treated to three types of curtains : a sash curtain (to filter light), a draw curtain (to block out light), and an over-drapery (which was purely decorative and is now just called a drapery). In very formal rooms (with sufficiently high ceilings), all of this was topped with a cornice or valance (to hide the hardware). This traditional windows treatment carries on today in period or very formal or dressy rooms.
