Most homeowners tolerate their windows far longer than they should. The treatments aren’t quite right, the proportions are a little off, or the room just never came together the way it was supposed to. But replacing everything feels overwhelming, so it stays.
This bedroom is what happens when someone decides not to tolerate it anymore.
What Does a Fully Finished Primary Bedroom Actually Look Like?
In a fully finished space, the entire design is cohesive, and nothing is an afterthought.
In this Atlanta-area master bedroom, one fabric (a teal and cream ikat — traditional in origin but fresh in feeling) connects every soft element in the room. The bay window cornice. The drapery panels. The bolster on the bed.
How Do You Solve a Bay Window Without Overcomplicating It?
If you’ve ever stood in front of your angled windows and wondered How do I dress a bay window? you’re not alone. The answer is less complicated than you might think.
You stop treating it like three separate windows.
Before and after: the bay window before treatment, and the finished cornice in place. Same architecture, completely different room.
The recessed, three-paned bay in this bedroom is a beautiful architectural feature, with the kind of detail that deserves a thoughtful answer.
We’ve built award winning cornices, but this was a continuous upholstered cornice spanning the full width of the bay, wrapped precisely to its angles before upholstery so the finished piece reads as one unbroken architectural line. Three independently motorized Roman shades sit below it, giving the client full flexibility for light and privacy without disturbing the clean statement the cornice makes above.
Where Do Most Bedroom Projects Stop Short?
Window treatments might stop at the window, but fabrics can be carried throughout the room with custom soft goods, adding depth and intention to your design.
Opposite the bay window, a neutral Roman shade handles light and privacy while layered ikat drapery panels (pattern-matched across every pleat, installed on a mixed acrylic and metal rod) add the depth and softness a primary bedroom needs. But it’s the custom bolster that finishes the room.
The custom ikat bolster is the detail that ties the windows to the bed and tells you the room was designed with intention from the start.
This is where many projects stop short. The windows are done, the room looks beautiful, but the bedding gets pulled together separately, and rarely in a way that feels like it was part of the original plan.
Carrying the ikat all the way to the bed changes the entire reading of the room. The fabric that greets you at the windows is the same one that anchors the bed. Nothing feels added on because nothing was.
What Does White Glove Service Actually Mean for a Window Treatment Project?
At Stitch Above the Rest, white glove service means you hand it off and come back to a finished room.
Our clients never need to follow up wondering whether something was ordered correctly. They don’t arrive on installation day hoping it all works out. For a luxury homeowner investing in a space that matters, or an interior designer whose reputation is on the line with every project, that level of care is where we start, not where we finish.
