I've always liked the architectural, uncluttered look of shutters and that was my original intention for dressing the windows. These often work well with short wide windows like the ones I have.
However, anyone with a cat will know how much they love to
sit at windows staring outside - especially in Winter when the radiators are
on. It seemed cruel to deprive her of
that simple pleasure so I revised my ideas and looked for the next best
thing. After all, the first rule of
interior design is to establish how the space is to be used and that also
includes consideration of your pets, as Pepper probably uses the windows more
than anybody else.
The next best thing is wooden Venetian blinds. This way they can be raised to a suitable
height to give the Pepper kitty enough space to sit under and survey the world
outside. Decora Sunwood produce the
Contour range; stylish curved wide slats that mimicking the look of
shutters and that's what I've gone for throughout.
