My daughter & her roommate have chosen your fan floral bedding for their dorm room. They love it, but need a coordinating window treatment. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks! : )

Hi Trish,

We’re so excited that your daughter and her roommate love the Fan Floral collection and chose it for their dorm room!  We like the idea of using a clean ivory drape that matches the color of the bedding and using a lime green trim or ribbon that matches the stems from the floral pattern as a tie back to add just a hint of color.  You could even find a lime fabric or trim and sew it on to the panel for that touch of color to become a more permanent fixture on the window treatment. 

Another suggestion (if you’re feeling a bit crafty) to have your windows match directly back to your bedding is to use the fabric from a second Fan Floral duvet to make your own coordinating window treatments.  You can either use the floral pattern or even the reverse of the duvet, which is a grey and white geometric pattern that could look REALLY cute! 

I hope these suggestions helped you.  Please send us pictures of the dorm room after it’s complete – we’d love to see how it turns out!  Have a great school year!
