Sheers can often be a great touch to your room. Using the 5” brackets you can easily mount a rod or perhaps even use a tension rod in the window frame to hang them on. Using the rod you will have the ability to move the sheers open and closed. 
However, in many cases I come across the sheers will simply be stationary behind the cornice board. Save yourself the cost of the rod and tuck the sheers into the back tuck groove of your cornice! It really works well. The pictures of Sharon’s home are a great example.Sharon’s living room as you can see has a lot of dark heavy furniture, the tables have a rotiron frame and the walls are all a light color. Even the shades on the windows are light. What the room needs is some dark on the walls and even in the cornice to balance her décor.
She also wanted the room to have a bit more of a formal look. It took several weeks to come to all the right decisions but I have to say it all turned out spectacular.
The top/bottom of the cornice is in a chocolate brown, crinkle fabric with just a bit of shine. The center fabric is a raised traditional design but also has just a bit of the same crinkled chocolate fabric throughout. Then we come to the sheers. The two cornices in the living room span 3 windows each. Between each window is just 6” of wall space.
Penney’s had some chocolate strip sheer panels on sale and good thing—we used a total of 8 on the two living room and two more on the dining room. All of the sheers are actually tucked into the back tuck of the cornice boards. The panels were each 54” wide so rather than “manually” gather them. I had a friend sew a basting stitch across about 1” down from where I needed to cut them off. Then for the side ones I gathered each down to 13” wide and
the ones in the center over the 6” wall were gathered down to 9”. The result in the room was perfect!
I cannot say enough about being creative. Let your mind go and set no limits on what you think you can do. The results will compliment your room and WOW your friends. Se more homes in our Gallery of Homes.
