1/4

Summary: Even nice guys turn into jerks with the right amount of ego.

Word Acount: 5589

Warning: This might hurt your heart, reader.

The lights in your study were the only ones on in that part of the abbey, your index fingers and thumb were red from so many wounds with the needle and you had bled more than once. The moonlight crossed the huge window behind you and distorted your shadow, you sighed tiredly and passed the needle over the beautiful light blue fabric again, you raised your gaze to the photo on the desk and smiled, gaining strength again.

The candle next to the painting showed Copia smiling goofily with a small rat on his shoulder and you giving him a kiss on the cheek, something that made Copia blush, absolutely happy. That motivated you to continue embroidering each of the details by hand, you wanted it to be perfect for your beloved now Papa.

For weeks you had been finishing Copia's second papal suit, every detail counted and you wanted it to be perfect, as he deserved.

You hadn't been able to be present the night he was promoted to Pope, something you clearly regretted. Since that night they had barely seen each other, he spent all his time busy and away from the Minister. That made you sad, you knew that with the new position would come new responsibilities but were there so many that he couldn't stop for even a second?

Several nights you waited for him in his room but he did not arrive, you even baked a cake to celebrate but when it began to dawn you knew that he would not arrive and the rats simply took advantage of it more, they were thin and dirty as if Copia had not fed them for some time . Something strange about him, you wanted to ask him for explanations but the opportunity was never given due to his absence.

That whole situation was breaking your heart, you missed walking through the abbey holding his hand, seeing him try on his suits and looking at him excitedly, playing video games together or simply listening to him practice songs. You missed that sweet man, now you only looked at him through photos and he looked intimidating, like Cardinal he was sweet and tender but like Papa it was as if his sweetness had evaporated. You didn't want to think about everything that had changed but every day it became more obvious the abyss that was beginning to form between the two of you.

You glanced at your phone, 2:15 AM and no message from Copia.

You gave in to fatigue and left the palia on the table with the needle still embedded in the fabric, you grimaced when you saw the damage on your hands, they stung like an open wound. You didn't like this strange silent treatment on Copia's part, the loneliness in the abbey was eating you alive. You were tired of having to wait for him to approach you again, his silly silent treatment had you fed up, if he wanted to avoid you he wasn't going to succeed.

"Because..?" You murmured to the darkness as if it were going to give you the answer. And maybe he did.

The white light and the roar of a car engine cut the raw silence. You knocked over the small wooden bench as you stood up and rushed against the window, a 1933 Bentley parked in the driveway, a ghoul got out of the driver's seat to open the door. You held your breath in your lungs as you grabbed your coat and ran out of your study, jumping the steps three at a time until you reached the first floor and rushed to the door. You exhaled the air, and waited anxiously like a puppy for the door to open.

"Y/N? What are you doing here?" Asked Sister Imperator, who appeared at the door, she looking really tired.

"Oh I…I thought…it was someone else.." You responded disappointed, you really wanted to see Copia walk through that door but once again he wasn't there. You gave Sister a small bow and stepped aside so she could pass.

The woman walked and she stopped in front of you, letting the cold sneak in a little and chill the inside of your lungs. Looking outside you could see Mountain taking Sister's belongings down and passing them by to take them to the main office and Sodo waiting leaning against the car.

"Were you expecting someone else?" I ask you, with that insightful look.

"Yes…" You sighed, taking some courage from your gut to look the woman in the eyes. "I thought Papa Emeritus IV had arrived. He must be very busy, right?"

"Oh" he laughed a little "Of course, the Clergy has him very busy" you felt like he was laughing at you for your innocence of something you didn't know about. "Well, good night."

Sister placed her hand on your shoulder and gave a light squeeze, then retreated, until all that was left was the echo of her footsteps on the stairs.

You looked back at the car, Sodo was getting into it again, maybe to leave it in the garage. You bit your lower lip indecisively, normally it was necessary to notify each time someone left, you will receive a reprimand for leaving like that but…

"Fuck everything" you clutched your coat to your chest and closed the Minister's doors behind you, hurrying down the small steps to get to the car that was restarting its engine "Sodo!" You knock lightly on the window.

The engine turned off again and the window rolled down, the ghoul had a clear grimace of displeasure. "What?" I ask annoyed.

"Do you know where Copia is?" He sighed and nodded "Would you take me with him?" I asked him in the best tone you could muster in the face of his sour attitude.

"Ha!" He mocked, baring his fangs in a grim smile. "What makes you think I'll take 'overtime' for you?"

"It could be your good deed of the year" his face said it all, it didn't seem like a big deal to him, you cleared your throat you didn't like using blackmail but you really needed to know where he was "If you don't take me to Copia I'll tell him to Sister Imperator about your loving relationship with a certain ghoul" You threatened firmly.

Sodo's back straightened and her mouth fell silent with little "You wouldn't be able to," she spat the words in your face. Baring his fangs just like a predator.

"Try me," you murmured, moving closer to his mask. You kept your gaze steady and as strong as you could.

"Ahg" he complained angrily and hit the steering wheel "Get in at once"

Smiling, you crossed in front of the car and opened the passenger door. "No, no," Sodo said mockingly, your brow furrowed "Your game, my rules," he pointed to the back seats.

"Whatever" you rolled your eyes and pulled the passenger door to open the back one, you sat down and closed the door.

Sodo started the engine again and abruptly turned around and left the Ministry roundabout driving like a maniac, on purpose. He would take you to the place, if you arrived unharmed it was not his problem, plus he was not at all happy to follow orders from someone as low-ranking as you, a simple dressmaker. You hit your head a couple of times against the glass and your face slammed into the seat in front of you. In your mind you couldn't stop cursing Sodo.

Thinking that the place where Copia met with the Clergy must be quite serious, something simple but denoting some importance. But that wasn't what greeted you when Sodo slammed on the brakes.

"You've got to be kidding me…" you mumbled as you looked out the window.

In front of you stood a huge building, the loud music made the windows of the first floor resonate, from the windows of the other floors that you could see, you could see flickering lights and dancing silhouettes, there was a huge line of people waiting to enter, girls with short satin dresses and heels of at least 13 cm. You got out of the car with your mouth open, this was not at all what you expected, a part of you felt anger ¿meetings? yes of course…

Sodo closed the door on his way out and stopped next to you.

"You weren't expecting this, were you?" He asked, the situation made him laugh.

"Not at all," you pressed your jacket closer to your body, feeling the judgmental gaze of some of the girls.

"Do you still want to come in?" Sodo ask you.

"Yes" you had many questions that had to be answered that same night or you would go crazy.

"Good"

Sodo took your wrist and made his way with surprising agility through the people, some were clearly complaining but no one stopped them, they reached the door and the security guard quickly recognized the demon.

"And her?" I ask as I see you become symbolically small after Sodo.

"She is a guest of Pope Emeritus IV." Sodo clarified, the guard hesitated for a few seconds but finally opened the door for them.

You wouldn't be lying if you said that you almost vomited upon entering, the air was intoxicated with cigarette smoke and marijuana, the music didn't let you hear your own thoughts, many bodies out of nowhere were rubbing against you and the flashes of light hurt your eyes too much. Sodo held her grip on your wrist as he walked through the horny crowd.

You didn't understand why Copia, your dear Copia would be in a place like that, he hated parties, he was a man of movies and blankets, who preferred to play with his tricycle before having a fairly formal dinner. This was not a place where the Copia you knew would want to spend his nights. What about his rats? From walks through the abbey? What about you, did he leave you because of all this?

Sodo takes you to the elevator, where there is a suspicious puddle of 'water' and some red panties, both of you avoid the puddle and personally avoid touching any part of the elevator.

"What is he doing here…" a bad feeling begins to bite your heart.

"I don't know, since he became Pope he's been here" Sodo responds, you hadn't asked expecting an answer but that only fueled your uncertainty.

Sodo marked the last floor, the doors closed and the music finally stopped being so loud, that was like a respite for you, as you passed through each floor you could hear different types of music and quite private sounds. You were absolutely uncomfortable with the whole situation but you still couldn't stop thinking about Copia, would he be as uncomfortable as you here?

On the top floor there was nothing but soft music and the murmur of many people, when the doors opened and all eyes fell on you and your outfit, so inelegant and in keeping with the situation, you stood out and not in a good way. The men in suits looked you up and down with disgust and the girls in tiny scraps of clothing that left nothing to the imagination whispered about you shamelessly.

No one asked questions, since I was accompanied by a ghoul, everyone thought that even though you were dressed terribly, you knew what was happening. Clear mistake.

"Okay, I'll leave you here" Sodo responded pushing you out of the elevator. "I'll wait for you in the car."

"No! Wait-" You turned quickly but it was too late, the doors had already closed and the screen above them indicated that it had started to go down. You turned around again, facing the situation, everyone had continued with their thing.

You took a long breath and began the search, shyly you made your way through the people, you felt some hands touch your butt and even squeeze it, you held back a scream so as not to make a fuss, reminding yourself that you were there for one reason only. The mixture of perfumes was beginning to overwhelm you, some strong, others sweet, you looked at a dark area, few people were there, there were tables with small desserts and a tower of wine glasses, you mixed with the people again and you arrived. You sighed, the search was resulting in failure but you didn't want to stop.

"Oh…dolcezza…" You heard someone sigh, you knew that voice, it was unmistakable in your head and that nickname…Copia used to call you that, but now you heard it in a dirty and erotic way.

You turned instinctively, between the small space that there was between one glass on the other you saw him, the most unmistakable man, his arms, his hair, his legs, his voice… You simply drowned out the worst scream of your life, your lips showed a grimace of pain and disappointment, the bad feeling was true and tore off a piece of your heart, mocking your foolish innocence, the air was beginning to run out of your lungs, your hands began to sweat and tremble. You wanted to become as small as an atom and simply disappear, but a first glance was not enough, your mind denied that that man was Copia.

Behind the wine glasses were small 'privates', rooms with comfortable velvet seats, dim lights and translucent curtains. Sitting in those comfortable seats was Copia, with his legs extended and his white silk shirt open, his chest stained with kiss marks from red lipstick, taking a little from the wine glass in his hand…as if he were the damned boss of the place. Your gaze went up to her face and the image broke your heart, you had to put your hand to your chest to make sure you were alive.

Copia's hair was messy, the makeup on his face was stained with red lipstick, including his lips as well. Oh sure, let's not forget about them, the same lips that had whispered romantic poems to you at night were now literally devoured in a fierce and passionate kiss with a half-naked girl who grabbed him by the collar of his shirt, surely to take him to more intimate terrain, he didn't seem upset or surprised or disgusted, he wanted her too, you could see the same carnal desire in his eyes as in hers.

Your stomach turned, determined to get out everything it had in it, your mind was broken looking for excuses for what you saw and your heart just kept bleeding in front of everyone. You ran a hand through your hair, that whole situation was too much for you, it drowned you like a stormy sea, the tears came out of your eyes without stopping and cut your cheeks like razors, then something saved you, the only feeling that can help a person broken heart, the only feeling that is stronger than love. The wrath.

Your face changed completely, it hardened, you wanted to see how much of a 'boss' he was in front of you. You raised your leg and pushed the table on which the wine glasses rested, as was logical the table overturned and each of the glasses crashed on the floor, shattering and spilling their contents on your targets.

The noise caught the attention of everyone who turned to look at you, not understanding what the hell was happening. The girl on Copia's lips walked away exalted and screamed in surprise, both were covered in wine and this did not please Pope IV at all.

"Who the fuck did this?!" He exclaimed, standing up annoyed, you laughed, as if he could hurt anyone.

"I did it, cause any problems Papa Emeritus IV ?" you uttered with complete confidence, arms crossed.

“Y-Y/N” he stuttered, your name in his mouth sounded like an insult, it was no longer worth saying. He froze in her place, completely pale, the same color as the white of her makeup, you saw his Adam's apple rise. He looked like a child who had been caught in a mischief. With the difference that he was a man and his 'mischief' had a name and maybe 20 years younger than him. "Wha-what are you doing here?" He tried to get closer but the step back you took made it clear that you didn't want him close.

You held your tears in your chest, if anyone was going to be ridiculed it wouldn't be you "I just wanted to know where you were spending your 'busy' nights. I guess you were having a great time with the paperwork" you looked at the girl behind him, your anger not it was with her, but you couldn't help but feel some resentment.

"You shouldn't be here, this isn't a place for girls like you." Copia tried to get closer but the disgust and disappointment in your gaze froze him.

You had never looked at him that way, from below, with that distance in your gaze. He had opened a chasm between them now.

You were amazed by the coldness with which he said those words, as if you were his subordinate. "You're right, I shouldn't be here. I've already seen everything I had to see… Have fun." All the eyes on you were beginning to bother you and as you watched the scene your strength began to diminish.

You turned on your feet without saying anything hugging yourself, the crowd made way for you towards the elevator. You didn't feel yourself, as if this were just a cruel scene from a movie, as if nothing were real, but the image of Copia's lips on that girl's made fun of all the beautiful moments they had had together and buried the razor of deepest pain in your chest. The doors and the splash under your shoes brought you back to reality, it was then, in the semi-solitude of that elevator that you overflowed, the tears continued to come and moans of pain pushed your lips, you shook your head, you wished everything was false.

He could hear the blood circulating through his body, frozen in place, he felt unable to look up, his nails were digging into the palms of his hands.

The night had started well. He felt like he had the world at his feet, he had seen Primo, Secondo and Terzo come to this place and be praised like gods, respected like true eminences. He had seen a pretty girl and felt all the security in the world to approach and ask to spend the night with her, he wasn't going to go beyond kissing, it's not like he had experience in the most private sphere, he had been flirting with girls all these days and he felt like he was on top of everyone in that place.

But seeing you there… seeing your face of disappointment, of horror… he felt dirty, like a really disgusting object, just another ordinary man, one of the same men you complained about when watching movies together. The kind of man he promised not to become.

"I wish there were more men like your Copia" he remembered that you told him "sweet and really good. Totally my type" at that moment you kissed him, it was technically his first serious kiss, he remembered your look, full of love and sweetness, as if you were looking an angel or the most beautiful being on earth.

But tonight he had ruined everything, he had become an idiot that you used to complain about and that you used to hate… Did you hate him now? What a fool. Of course you hated him now!

He came back to reality, the girl he was with was gone and people were just looking at him like he was crazy. He closed his shirt as if he had some modesty, it was sticky and completely ruined from the wine.

He wanted to excuse himself, to tell you some lie, something that would make you not look at him like you did, not talk to him like you did, he wanted everything to go back to normal, when you both spent time together and he received nothing from you other than affectionate kisses, smiles and charming looks. If I hadn't been avoiding you for being so immersed in those silly and pathetic power fantasy this would never have happened and I knew it. I didn't want to lose you. He knew that no one in the world apart from you would be able to truly love him, the universe had made it known to him millions of times.

He ran to the elevator but it had been called on another floor.

"Merda!" He said frustrated and ran towards the emergency stairs.

You made your way through the crowd, concentrating on one thing: getting out of that place as quickly as you could. When you opened the door, a pouring rain greeted you, Sodo was inside the car, he smiled at you but that didn't last long when he saw your distressed appearance, he quickly got out and approached you, you were pale and cold the touch as if you had received a stab.

"Damn, what happened?" He covered you with her jacket as they ran to the car, opened the passenger door and watched you get in, when he closed the door the tears came harder.

“Let's go home,” your tone was clearly distressed and brittle.

"By Satan, what did you see, girl?" She asked, he had never seen you in such a sorry state, your aura was crazy and it disturbed him. Someone had caused you extreme harm, to the point of hurting your soul.

"Sodo, I saw everything had to see." your voice wavered and you gripped the head of the seat in front of you, your body writhing in spasms, similar to physical pain. "Damn it, just drive!"

Sodo remained silent, you had never yelled at him, not even when you were upset, nothing compared to your current state. He recognized and started the engine, if you had a seizure he didn't want it to happen in the car. Unlike when he took you to the place, now he was driving carefully, fast, but at least this time your head didn't hit the glass. When you arrived at the Ministry, he couldn't even open the door, you did it yourself and ran in, your tears mixing with the thick raindrops.

He wanted to go after you, make sure you were okay, but at the end of the day he was a demon and helping you shouldn't be any of his business. Somewhat annoyed, Sodo took the car to the garage.

You closed the door tightly behind you, you thought about going to your room and crying and suffering covered with your blanket, but if Copia arrived it would be the first place he would look for you, if he did, you wanted him to do it. Then you hid in your study, it was the same as when you left it. The moon illuminated the mannequin with the suit that you had made with so much love and care for Copia, you walked towards the mannequin and simply collapsed on the floor, dragging with you the canopy that you had embroidered, you pressed it against your chest without worrying if the needle would break embedded in you, you simply cried as if your limbs were torn off part by part, you screamed as if your soul was tortured in heaven, you begged to wake up from that bad dream.

Because that man, the man you saw kissing another woman, the man who had cheated on you, that couldn't be Copia. You couldn't have fallen so deeply in love with someone like that, no, you refused to believe it.

But at the same time the evidence was there, you had seen it yourself, your dignity mocked you, on the ground and totally destroyed by a man. The one you thought would be the love of your life.

You stood up, dizzy and catching your breath. Your tears had stained the palia, you threw it as if it burned your hands, you looked at the mannequin, as if Copia was in front of you, you couldn't handle that, your studio was full of photos together, the mirror, your laptop, shit in damn wallpaper on your phone, you pulled the papal suit off the mannequin and crumpled it in your hand, instinctively grabbing a pair of scissors and bringing them closer to the suit.

"Shit!" You stopped. Even with what he had done you couldn't help but worry about him, your heart was still touched by the memory of how excited you knew he would have been when he saw the suit…now that beautiful feeling made you sick and you denied it. this at all costs. You threw the scissors on the ground, you hated yourself because deep down you loved him, the wound was recent but you still couldn't, you didn't feel capable of harming the things he loved, just as he hurt you, who he always said he loved.

"I can't stand this…" more tears flowed down your face, you walked over to the desk and grabbed a piece of paper, you traced word after word "I can't stay here" You continued writing as you cradled the suit he would once wear against your chest. The now worst love of your life.

He came running to the Ministry, completely soaked, his makeup disgustingly smeared all over his face, scared and agitated.

He climbed the stairs as fast as he could, one after the other and opened the door to your room, empty. The room was as always.

"Fuck!" He slammed the door shut “Y/N!” scream with despair "Y/N! Where are you? I promise, please listen to me!" I beg loudly through the hallway. His eyes looked everywhere nervously in search of the slightest sign of your presence. Then he remembered your study, the place where you both hid when your responsibilities overwhelmed you and you wanted to relax.

You heard the desperate running of shoes in the hallway behind your door, a chill ran through you completely. It was him, you were sure. You felt like easy prey for a slasher. You signed on the paper and folded it clumsily, turning in time to watch your door open violently and him, breathing hard, still holding the door with his hand, water dripping onto the floor and the black from his eyes sliding down his face.

"Y/N" he mentioned, catching his breath.

In other circumstances, seeing him like this, you would rush to help him, look for a dry towel, clean clothes, tea and makeup remover, you still wanted to do that. But the pain of betrayal numbed that affection.

You took the letter and stood up and walked slowly, he seemed amazed to now be you the one to approach him, Copia expected anything, screams, hits, something that she knew she deserved but that never came. He hated herself for having hurt you that way, your eyes were swollen and redder than ever, were glassy and your lips trembled in a sad grimace.

You shoved the papal suit and the letter against his chest, some resentment in the action. Your face hardened and you passed him by, you really felt faint but you didn't want him to know that he had hurt you so much.

"What..?" Copia uttered to himself.

"It was for you, both things are for you" you said turning your back to him, taking short, weak steps far away from him.

He quickly looked at the bundle of fabric and found a beautiful papal suit, his favorite colors were there, the embroidery was half finished but it promised a lot.

"You made it for me?" He asked, he felt even more of an idiot now than before, you working late on a suit for him and him, being rubbish around others.

"It was going to be your gift for becoming Papa. Congratulations by the way." You said bitterly and quickened your pace.

Copia quickly walked behind you as he opened the letter, then he saw the huge title that said 'Resignation' his legs gave out in surprise and he fell to his knees to the ground. The noise scared you so you turned to see the scene.

"No no no!" He shouted as he crawled towards you, stumbling sometimes over the papal cloth out of desperation, his voice was a plea "Don't leave me, don't do it. For Satan's sake, don't leave me alone, no, no, no" you were surprised, you had never done that before.He took advantage of the fact that you were stunned and took your hands in his that were trembling and were cold, he let his forehead fall on your hands "Hit me. Do it, hit me! Scream at me, do whatever you want with me but don't leave me, don't go. …I love you! I love you…" he told you between scandalous cries, opening his arms ready to receive a blow.

For a second you thought, he would have deserved it, but you wouldn't, you couldn't, you could never hurt him, not even when he did it first.

"Copia-" he didn't let you continue.

"Punish me, humiliate me if that's what you want. Please do something! Hate me, torture me with your resentment for the rest of my life! But don't leave her, I beg you, I beg you… don't leave me" he bowed in a full bow, placing his lips on the toes of your dirty shoes.

You didn't expect to see him like that, for he to act like that, under that desperation.

"I ruined everything, I know! Let me fix it. I'm not like the men you hate, I'll change, I'll do what you tell me to go back to being like before…happy"

You stopped him there, you couldn't see him humiliating himself before you like that, no matter how much he deserved it. You knew your heart, you would never be happy like before, because it doesn't matter if you fix a broken mirror, every time you look at your reflection you will see that the wounds are still there.

"Enough…" He can't hear you "Copia stop!" You shouted, grabbing and lifting his face with your hands. "Nothing will ever be the same again." You made it clear "You broke my heart! You cheated on me with every girl you ever crossed paths with, why?" you reproached him.

"I don't know…" huge tears fell from his cheeks, you hated seeing him cry but he deserved it.

"You don't know? I do know," you pushed him with your index finger. "Because you wanted to feel powerful, right? Like Secondo or Terzo. You ascend and then one woman wasn't enough for you."

"I… I'm sorry…" he murmured in a low voice before breaking down into more tears and clung to your torso "I change, I swear…"

"I don't believe you. That's the problem… I DON'T BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE" you took a step back, hugging yourself, you couldn't give in, although her touch and attitude made you doubt, the decision was made. "You're a fucking liar! Just like everyone else! An idiot, I'm not going to forgive you, I never would, you took my heart and my love for you and used it to enhance your stupid ego. Just like Terzo, Secondo and Primo. Just like Your father, you are just like him… A DAMN TRAITOR" Your words pierced him like daggers, wounding him to death, he remembered how his mother (Sister Imperator) cried every night next to his bed for his father. He had sworn never to be like that and now… he had hurt the woman he loved, the only person who had looked at him with pure love, knew that you were not like his mother, you would not stay.

"No…please…Y/N…please…" his voice was broken and you couldn't do anything but cry, he begged you, crawling close to you but you walked away as if it were a dog. "Forgive me."

"No, Copia I can't anymore…" you told him and you started crying again, you wanted to hug him, stay and just forget. But your heart would never do it. Someone would love him more than you, make him smile more than you and he would be the perfect man, but that was not your place. Not when he had ripped out your heart and trampled on your trust. "I'll leave tomorrow…Goodbye Copia"

"No no! I beg you…"you just couldn't stand it and you started running, away from him you heard his screams, his pleas for you to come back, his heartbreaking cries and what he called for you, broken.

He was alone in the hallway, clinging to the last thing he had from you, a suit and a letter. A photo slipped out of it that he had not seen when he opened it and seeing it destroyed him even more. It was when he was a Cardinal, with a rat on his shoulder and you giving him a kiss on his cheek, you had written some words back then.

'First photo with the love of my life. I love you C' and the date two years before, when the beautiful story had begun.

He pressed her against her chest until she wrinkled and covered her with tears. "I love you…"

...The End..?

I hope you liked it, especially you, girl who requested it. I think it's obvious that the drama got out of hand, mercy please. This is my first time fulfilling a request.

Cora's Collecting

A03

Summary:

When Regina Mills adopted her son, she decided to cut her mother off from her life. Cora’s collecting habit had spiralled so far out of control that she feared for her son’s health and safety. Today, Cora says she is ready to start cleaning out her mess and making space for her family and friends to come back into her life.

Notes:

My excuses are that I couldn’t sleep and had the clearest image of Cora being a hoarder that I could not shake until it was written. And, honestly, it was so much fun that I hope you laugh and enjoy it as much as sleep-deprived me enjoyed dreaming it up. This is meant to be lovingly mocking the television programme and the format they follow for all their one million episodes. This is not, at all, a jest at the expense of anyone who does suffer from compulsive hoarding. 

For over fifteen years, Cora Mills has been bringing things into her 145,000-square-foot residence nestled in the picturesque Misthaven woods. When she moved into the hunting lodge that she has used as a primary residence for over thirty-seven years, Cora was a newlywed and it was the ideal place for her to start her family. 

The gilded halls were with bright sunlight streaming in through windows with their heavy drapes tied back. The expensive fabrics of the drapes were perfectly coordinated with finely embroidered seats and the thick, soft rugs. Heavy wooden tables sat between the seats which lined the marble corridors. The lodge boasted over 180 large rooms, each decorated immaculately in individual styles which complimented one another. 

But, all that changed for her when her husband of over twenty years suddenly died in his sleep. Despite a lifelong battle with an unknown heart condition, his death changed everything for Cora. She had to fight to keep her home after her husband died and five years after his death, she and her teenage daughter, Regina, were finally given the deed to the home they’d lived in for her daughter’s entire life. 

“I don’t think my father and mother had a particularly happy marriage,” Regina recalls without emotion. “It was the house and the potential to lose the house that really seemed to shake her up. Yeah, I think that is when she really started to accumulate things.” 

Today, the once-pristine hunting lodge is filled with clutter. Every one of the over 180 rooms is so stuffed with furniture, clothing, children’s toys, and other items that Cora has resulted in sleeping in the stable on a haystack without heat. 

“I’ve been sleeping in the stables and washing in the watering trough for about three years now,” Cora admits to Dr Archie Hopper, a clinical psychologist who specialises in the treatment of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder and who struggle with compulsive hoarding. Archie has been brought in, along with professional organiser, Belle French, to help Cora clear out the clutter that has overtaken her life. 

“I want to see my grandson play in the halls where I raised my daughter,” Cora explains as she shows Archie through the cramped halls of her home. After climbing over too many items to identify single objects and shimming against walls they finally reach the suite of rooms that Cora once slept in. Here, the clothing and furniture are stacked around them in mountainous piles that reach the ceilings. The gold-plated ceiling seems to have dulled. Little light filters through the massive windows, which are almost completely blocked by Cora’s items. 

“We are now standing in your wing of the home and it is completely buried in items,” Archie says matter-of-factly. Cora nods in agreement with his statements but doesn’t say anything in response. “How does it make you feel, Cora? Looking at these items in the rooms where you once dressed for grand balls?” 

Cora looks around the space and takes in the piles around them, “It’s embarrassing. I don’t know how I let it get this far.” 

Archie grabs a nearby item, a landscape of the north woods of Arendelle in an elaborate dusty golden frame, and shows it to Cora. “How would you feel if I took this with me tonight?” 

“I wouldn’t like that,” Cora’s voice is sharp with a mixture of anxiety and unquestionable authority. 

“Cora, you called me here to help you get better.” 

“How does taking my things help me?” 

“You have to try to make room for your grandson to play. This is not a safe environment for him to be in,” Archie softly states to remind Cora of her goals in having him there today. 

“Fine.”

“So, I am going to take this with me.”

“Okay,” Cora says wearily. 

“How do you feel right now?” 

“Angry. Stressed.” 

“I want you to sit with that for a while. It is important for you to know this feeling will fade away and you are strong enough to endure the discomfort,” Archie explains gently. Cora looks away from where Archie stands with the painting, toward the other items surrounding them. The dust and clutter fill her with dread that chases out the discomfort she was feeling at the thought of the psychologist taking the painting of the white woods of the North Forest. 

Cora desperately wishes that the home could already be organised and returned to its former glory and is overwhelmed by the taste of bitter emotions - anger, shame, frustration, guilt, and hopelessness - thick on her tongue. She is ready to have her house back and her daughter back, but she cannot see a path forward out of the clutter she has built up around her. 

Dr Hopper has called Cora’s daughter, Regina, to see how the conditions of the home have deteriorated since she was last there, eight years ago. Regina stopped visiting her mother when she adopted her son, Henry, because she feared for his safety in her home. 

“When I was a child, the house was spotless. My mother had a host of people that helped keep everything in order. If she found a speck anywhere in the house, the maid responsible for that room was never seen again,” Regina tells Dr Hopper before he knocks on the door of the home. 

Cora opens the door and Regina walks into her childhood home once again. Cora and Archie stand at the threshold of the door and allow Regina to tour her once-spotless home alone. Regina is horrified by the clutter. “The mountains of junk have grown so much since the last time I was in there. I could never allow my son into that death trap.” 

She makes her way through another room, items crunching beneath her feet, and her anger flares again at the situation her mother has created. When the pile she was standing on gave out and sent her tumbling, Regina terminates the tour and returns to her mother and the psychologist waiting in the foyer.

“Mother, this is horrible. How do you live this way? It is disgusting.” Regina’s anger is rolling off her in waves, the hate and accusation in her glare all too familiar. 

“I know. I don’t know,” Cora answers but her words fall on deaf ears.

“Belle should be arriving, let’s make our way back outside,” Archie suggests.

Regina shakes her head, “I’m leaving, I have to get Henry from school,” and with that, she is gone as quickly as she came. 

After collecting herself, Cora nods to Archie. When they exit from the house, Regina has disappeared. The grand fountains flowing with clear water and bright green topiaries with not a branch out of place provide a sharp contrast from the dark and dusty house behind them. 

Cora draws in a deep breath of fresh air before turning to watch the young brunette woman in a flowing blue dress cutting through the courtyard, her thick hair billowing in waves behind her with every purposeful step. Cora felt an immediate dislike for the young lady storming her home. 

As if reading her mind, Archie lays a calming hand on Cora’s shoulder, “She’s here to help. You are still in control of this entire process.”

Scowling at the clammy hand on her shoulder, Cora mutters -  Supper with Regina and Henry. Supper with Regina and Henry. 

“Good morning, Belle!” Archie calls to the new arrival with a smile. They shake hands and exchange some pleasantries. 

Belle turns to face Cora with a bright smile. “You must be Cora?” Belle’s chipper voice grates at Cora’s already raw nerves. Her smile does not falter when Cora refuses to shake her proffered hand or acknowledge her ridiculous question in any way, “Let’s see what we’ve got, shall we?”

“No better time to start than the present,” Archie chirps as he pushes open the grand door, revealing the hoard behind to the organiser. To Cora’s disappointment and relief, Belle’s smile still doesn’t falter as she crosses the threshold and orients herself with the clutter inside. 

“Cora, you have some beautiful things here,” Belle says and Cora wonders if she misjudged the lady. “But, we have a lot of things to clear so that you can actually enjoy them.”

No, I was right.

“That is why I have called you, Ms. French,” Cora explains slowly, as if worried the organiser could not grasp their meaning.

“Absolutely,” Belle replied cheerily. The smile finally fades as she picks up two items at random and holds them up to Cora. “Cora, can you get rid of either of these two items?”

Cora studies the small broken round table. The green marble table top is a sad echo of the sprawling gardens visible through the open door, two of the three shiny cheery wood legs are still intact and end in a highly decorative curl, dust is so thick that the finer details of the carvings are lost. Her palms start sweating and her pulse thunders in her chest and head as she shifts her focus to the porcelain doll Belle holds. The black hair of the doll has become frizzy with age and poor storage, the fine fabric of her dress is creased and wrinkly, and the doll’s painted face has faded. 

“No,” Cora rasps out, her mouth and throat suddenly too dry. Cora knows that she has to get rid of her things, but the doll’s big brown eyes stare at her accusingly. Regina’s face, splotchy and red from crying, fills Cora’s mind. Her expression is equally as accusing as the doll’s; she blamed Cora for the accident that had taken Daniel’s life. Cora would never heal the wounds that formed when she survived the accident that Regina’s first love did not. 

“Cora, you have to give up so much more than one thing before your daughter and grandson can come over for a visit,” Belle admonishes gently.

Archie steps toward Cora, placing a hand on her arm, “You seemed to have gotten very stressed all of a sudden. What are you thinking about, right now?” 

“I am thinking that I cannot throw out the doll.”

“What happens if you throw out the doll?” Archie nudges. 

“I can never get my daughter back,” Cora grinds out. 

“Cora, we are cleaning up all of this to get her back,” Belle says simply. Both of their faces are sad and understanding in a way that snaps something in Cora. 

“Throw them both out,” Cora demands, a sense of pride soaring through her as Archie and Belle congratulate her on making a good decision. It is ridiculous that their praise should matter to her, but she relishes it all the same. 

They work through the day and night similarly - Belle and Archie holding up a few items and Cora deciding what to keep and what to remove; Cora continues to bask in the praise, encouraged to keep only priceless family heirlooms and the necessary furnishings. It is not until an owl flies in through the open doorway, making the three all squeal and swat at it to shoo it back out, that they haul the progress for the day. 

Cora sleeps in her halfway-cleared grand foyer that night. The comfort of the antique tufted sofa far exceeded the straw bed she slept in the night prior. 

When she wakes up, she is shocked that she does not mourn the loss of the things that were removed from her home. The realisation inspires her to go forward with the process when Belle and Archie arrive. 

After a successful first day, Archie and Belle have an idea to speed up the clean-up process to get Cora back in her home, ready to host her daughter and grandson.

“Cora, since your house is so large. We brought along a crew of over 120 people to help haul away all of your stuff. With your permission, we would like to have them take away anything that is damaged or of little value,” Archie says in a way that seems like a question and command all at once. 

“Okay,” Cora agrees, but she feels a sense of impending doom that throws her off as she picks up where they had left off sorting through the foyer last night. After an hour or so, the feeling becomes too much for her to continue to ignore and she stops working and runs out to the courtyard. Trucks as far as she can see are filled with items taken from her home. The workers are tossing her possessions in without care and she worries they have included relics of great import in those bags that she cannot see through. The fear grips her and she is rushing the trucks and yelling at the men toiling away before she is aware of her actions.

“Cora? Cora, what is wrong?” Belle asks, chasing after her from the front door. 

“They are just removing everything. Not everything in my home is trash! You promised they would only take away things that were damaged or trash! This is twenty trucks of things, there is no way that my house had twenty trucks of worthless trash in it,” Cora is yelling at the petit organiser. 

“Cora, I promise you that we did not throw away anything of value,” Belle says in her most soothing tone. 

LIAR!  Cora wants to scream it in her face but knows there is no point. “I don’t want to do this anymore,” she admits to the organiser. 

“It is hard, what you are doing is very hard. But, if you keep going, you can have your daughter back in your life. Isn’t that more important to you?” 

“Of course, it is,” Cora snaps. The last day and a half have been extremely difficult and she feels more alone than she ever has before. Cora is exhausted and does not want to fight anymore. 

Belle pauses the cleaning crew and Cora talks with Archie. Three hours later, Cora agrees to continue with the clean-up. She returns to the task with a new determination and allows the Merry Men to continue their removal work without interruption. That night, she falls asleep in her bed for the first time in over a decade. 

After ten months of work with professional organiser, Belle French, and numerous haul-away days with the Merry Men, Cora’s home has been returned to its former glory. Her daughter is returning to see how her mother is progressing.

Cora waits for her daughter to arrive filled with nervous energy. The home is immaculate once more, the halls almost as bright as they were when Regina’s laughter filled them, but she worries that Regina will not see the progress that she has made.  It won’t be enough to have your daughter and grandson in your life.

When the knock sounds, a newly hired butler rushes to open the door. The butler shows Regina around the house, as directed. Regina takes in the beautifully polished furniture, the rich fabrics, the smudge-free windows and mirrors, the tastefully decorated rooms, the maids and servers darting between the rooms, and she is transported to a time when their home was the centre of the kingdom.

Cora is settled in a formal sitting room, anxiously waiting to receive her daughter. A maid appears with tea and biscuits before disappearing again. 

Regina arrives with a broad smile on her face, “You did it, Mother.”

Cora’s heart leaps at her daughter’s approval. Her daughter looks at her with love and admiration that hasn’t been there for as long as Cora can remember. Cora is filled with cautious hope for their relationship. 

“I cannot believe it. You did it. It looks incredible!” Regina pulled her into a tight hug and Cora feels tears prickling in her eyes.

“Does that mean you will bring Henry for dinner and for holidays?” Cora asks tentatively.

“Yes. Oh, you’re going to love him. He is perfect; so smart and so funny,” Regina gushes, settling to sit with her mother on her couch for the first time in years. Cora gestures toward the tea, listening and laughing and enjoying her daughter’s company. The future looks bright for them for the first time in many more years.

Why Sheer Curtains Are the Best Choice for Window Treatments

When it comes to choosing window treatments, sheer curtains stand out as a top choice for many homeowners. Their elegance and functionality make them a versatile option that can enhance the aesthetic of any space. Here’s a closer look at why sheer curtains are often considered the best option for window treatments.

1. Elegant Aesthetics

Sheer curtains, with their delicate and translucent fabric, add a touch of sophistication and grace to any room. They allow natural light to filter through while providing a soft, diffused glow that brightens up the space. This gentle illumination can make a room feel airy and open, perfect for creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Unlike traditional curtains that can sometimes feel heavy and overpowering, sheer drapes offer a more subtle and refined look. They complement a variety of interior styles, from classic curtains in traditional settings to modern curtains in contemporary spaces.

2. Versatile Styling

One of the greatest advantages of sheer curtains is their versatility. They can be seamlessly integrated into various decor styles, whether you prefer classic or modern interiors. For traditional homes, embroidered curtains add a layer of intricate detail and craftsmanship, enriching the space with a timeless charm. In contrast, modern curtains with sleek, minimalistic designs can enhance contemporary settings without overwhelming the room.

Sheer curtains also work beautifully as layering pieces. They can be paired with heavier drapes for a more formal look or used alone for a more relaxed and casual style. This adaptability makes them an excellent choice for different seasons and occasions.

3. Enhanced Privacy and Light Control

While sheer curtains are known for their light and airy appearance, they still provide a degree of privacy. They obscure the view from the outside while allowing occupants to enjoy natural daylight. This balance between privacy and light makes sheer drapes ideal for areas where you want to maintain a sense of openness without compromising on seclusion.

For enhanced control over light and privacy, sheer curtains can be combined with blinds or shades. This layered approach allows you to adjust the amount of light entering the room while still benefiting from the elegance of sheer fabrics.

4. Easy Maintenance

Sheer curtains are typically made from lightweight and breathable fabrics like polyester or nylon, which are easy to care for. Most sheer drapes can be machine washed and tumble dried, making them a practical choice for busy households. Their simplicity in maintenance is a significant advantage over more elaborate window treatments that may require professional cleaning.

5. Cost-Effective Solution

When compared to traditional curtains or more intricate window treatments, sheer curtains are often a more cost-effective solution. They provide a stylish and functional option without breaking the bank. Their affordability, combined with their versatility and ease of maintenance, makes them a popular choice for those looking to refresh their home decor on a budget.

6. Enhancing Room Dimensions

Sheer curtains have the unique ability to enhance the perceived dimensions of a room. Their light, airy fabric can make windows appear larger and ceilings higher, contributing to a more spacious and open feel. This effect is particularly beneficial in smaller rooms or spaces with low ceilings, where the use of heavier window treatments might make the space feel more cramped.

7. Seasonal Adaptability

Sheer curtains are well-suited for all seasons. In the warmer months, they allow for maximum sunlight and ventilation, contributing to a fresh and cool environment. During the colder months, they can be paired with thermal or insulated curtains to help retain heat while still offering the elegance and softness of sheer fabrics.

Conclusion

Sheer curtains offer a perfect blend of style, functionality, and versatility. Whether you're decorating a traditional home with classic curtains or a modern space with sleek, contemporary designs, sheer drapes provide a sophisticated touch that enhances any interior. Their ability to combine elegance with practicality makes them a standout choice for window treatments, proving that sometimes, less is more. Embrace the timeless charm of sheer curtains and transform your living spaces with their unique blend of beauty and utility.

Custom Curtains for Large Windows: Achieving Balance and Impact

Large windows can be a stunning feature in a home, offering expansive views and abundant natural light. However, choosing custom curtains for such windows requires careful consideration to achieve both visual balance and practical functionality. Here’s how to select and style custom curtains to complement large windows, enhancing their impact while maintaining harmony in the space.

Creating Visual Balance

Custom curtains for large windows should enhance the window’s grandeur without overwhelming the space. The key is to achieve a balance between the scale of the curtains and the size of the windows.

Choose Floor-to-Ceiling Drapes: For large windows, floor-to-ceiling custom drapes can create a dramatic effect and emphasize the height of the window. This approach helps to frame the window elegantly and adds a sense of grandeur to the room.

Opt for Wide Curtain Panels: To ensure that the curtains cover the large windows properly, use wide panels that can extend beyond the edges of the window frame. This helps in creating a more cohesive look and prevents gaps that might disrupt the visual flow.

Enhancing Light Control and Privacy

Large windows often mean greater challenges in managing light and privacy. Custom curtains can be tailored to provide effective solutions while complementing the room’s style.

Consider Layered Curtains: Combining sheer panels with heavier drapes allows you to adjust light and privacy as needed. Sheers can filter natural light while providing a soft, airy feel, whereas heavier drapes can block out light and provide privacy when required.

Incorporate Blackout Linings: For spaces where complete darkness is desired, such as bedrooms or media rooms, adding blackout linings to your custom curtains is essential. This feature helps to control light and enhance the room’s functionality.

Adding Style and Texture

Custom curtains offer an opportunity to introduce style and texture, adding depth and visual interest to large windows.

Use Bold Patterns and Colors: Large windows can handle bold patterns and colors that might overwhelm smaller windows. Consider using dramatic prints or rich, vibrant hues to make a statement and complement the room’s décor.

Incorporate Textures: Fabrics with unique textures, such as velvet, silk, or embroidered patterns, can add depth and sophistication. Textured curtains can create a striking contrast against the large windows and enhance the overall aesthetic.

Practical Considerations

When designing custom curtains for large windows, practicality is crucial to ensure that the curtains are functional and easy to use.

Invest in Quality Hardware: For large windows, use robust curtain rods and hardware that can support the weight of heavy fabrics. Ceiling-mounted or extra-wide rods are often necessary to accommodate the size and weight of the curtains.

Consider Motorized Systems: Motorized or remote-controlled custom curtain systems can offer convenience and ease of use, especially for large windows that are difficult to reach. This feature allows for effortless operation and adds a modern touch to your window treatments.

Conclusion

Custom window treatments are a powerful tool in enhancing the beauty and functionality of large windows. By selecting the right fabrics, styles, and features, you can create a visually balanced and impactful look that complements the grandeur of the windows. Whether achieving light control with layered curtains or adding style with bold patterns and textures, custom drapes can transform large windows into a stunning focal point of your space.

15 Creative Ways to Incorporate Embroidery into Home Decor

15 Creative Ways to Incorporate Embroidery into Home Decor:

Transform Your Space with Needlework Art

Embroidery has long been cherished as a beautiful and intricate craft, but it's no longer confined to clothing and linens. Today, we're exploring how this timeless art form can breathe new life into your home decor. From subtle accents to bold statement pieces, embroidery offers endless possibilities to personalize and elevate your living spaces. Let's dive into 15 creative ways to incorporate embroidery into your home decor, transforming your house into a unique and inviting haven. - Embroidered Wall Art One of the most striking ways to showcase embroidery in your home is through wall art. Large embroidered pieces can serve as focal points in living rooms, bedrooms, or home offices. Consider creating or purchasing a landscape scene, abstract design, or even a personalized family portrait rendered in thread. The texture and dimension of embroidery add depth to your walls that traditional paintings can't match. Pro Tip: Frame your embroidered artwork in sleek, modern frames to create an interesting contrast between the traditional craft and contemporary presentation. - Customized Throw Pillows Embroidered throw pillows are a versatile and easy way to introduce needlework into your decor. Whether you opt for delicate floral patterns, bold geometric designs, or witty quotes, these pillows can instantly update your sofa, bed, or reading nook. Mix and match different embroidery styles to create a cohesive yet eclectic look. DIY Idea: Transform plain store-bought pillows with iron-on embroidered patches for a quick and budget-friendly update. - Embellished Curtains and Drapes Elevate your window treatments with embroidered details. A border of intricate stitching along the edges of curtains or a central motif can turn ordinary drapes into bespoke decor pieces. For a subtle touch, consider embroidered tie-backs or valances. Design Tip: Choose embroidery colors that complement or contrast with your curtain fabric for maximum impact. - Table Linens with a Twist Bring charm to your dining area with embroidered table linens. From elaborate tablecloths to simple placemats and napkins, embroidery can elevate every meal. Consider seasonal designs for holiday gatherings or timeless patterns for year-round use. Entertaining Idea: Create a set of napkins with each guest's initials for a personalized touch at your next dinner party. - Embroidered Lampshades Cast a warm, inviting glow in any room with embroidered lampshades. Whether you opt for a fully covered design or subtle accents, these unique shades add character and soften the light beautifully. This is an excellent opportunity to incorporate delicate, translucent designs that come to life when illuminated. Craft Challenge: Try your hand at embroidering on paper or thin fabric to create your own custom lampshade. - Upholstered Furniture Accents Give new life to old furniture or add interest to plain pieces with embroidered accents. A chair back, footstool, or headboard can become a work of art with the right embroidery. This technique is particularly effective for breathing new life into vintage or second-hand furniture finds. Upcycling Tip: Before embarking on a full furniture embroidery project, practice on a small, inconspicuous area to perfect your technique. - Embroidered Room Dividers and Screens In open-plan living spaces or studio apartments, embroidered room dividers offer both functionality and beauty. A large-scale embroidered scene or pattern on a folding screen can define separate areas while adding a stunning visual element to your decor. Space-Saving Idea: Use an embroidered room divider as a backdrop for video calls or as a photography background. - Unique Bathroom Textiles Don't forget the bathroom when incorporating embroidery into your home. Embroidered hand towels, bath mats, and shower curtains can transform this functional space into a luxurious retreat. Opt for water-themed motifs like waves, fish, or seashells for a cohesive look. Care Tip: Choose embroidery threads that are colorfast and washable for bathroom textiles to ensure longevity. - Embroidered Cabinet and Drawer Fronts For a truly unique touch, consider adding embroidery to cabinet or drawer fronts. This unexpected application can turn ordinary storage into a conversation piece. It works particularly well in craft rooms, children's bedrooms, or as an accent in kitchen or bathroom cabinetry. DIY Approach: For a less permanent option, create embroidered fabric panels that can be easily attached and removed from cabinet fronts. - Decorative Embroidery Hoops Embrace the craft aspect of embroidery by displaying pieces still in their hoops. Group various sizes and designs together for an eclectic gallery wall, or use individual hoops to add pops of color and texture throughout your home. This approach celebrates the process as much as the final product. Styling Suggestion: Mix embroidery hoops with other wall decor like prints, photographs, and small shelves for a dynamic and personalized display. - Embroidered Bedding Transform your bedroom into a cozy sanctuary with embroidered bedding. From elaborate duvet covers to simple pillow shams, embroidery adds a touch of luxury to your sleep space. Consider monogrammed pillowcases for a personalized touch or a fully embroidered bedspread for a dramatic focal point. Sleep Tip: Opt for smooth, high-quality threads for bedding embroidery to ensure comfort against the skin. - Unique Window Treatments Beyond curtains, embroidery can enhance other window treatments. Embroidered roman shades, for instance, combine functionality with artistry. For a more subtle approach, add embroidered details to the edges of blinds or create embroidered valances to top off plain curtains. Light Control: Choose lighter colors and more open designs for areas where you want to maintain natural light while still adding decoration. - Embroidered Wall Clocks Combine functionality with art by creating or purchasing an embroidered wall clock. The face of the clock becomes a canvas for intricate designs, turning a practical item into a stunning decor piece. This is an excellent way to incorporate embroidery into spaces where you might not typically expect to find textiles. Time-Saving Tip: For an easier project, embroider a circular piece of fabric and insert it into an existing clock frame. - Statement Rugs and Floor Coverings While fully embroidered rugs might not be practical for high-traffic areas, you can incorporate embroidery into your floor coverings in creative ways. Consider a plain rug with embroidered borders or a central motif. Alternatively, create small embroidered floor mats for entryways or in front of sinks. Durability Note: For floor applications, choose sturdy fabrics and threads, and consider adding a protective coating to high-wear areas. - Embroidered Plant Pot Covers Bring your love of embroidery to your indoor garden with embroidered plant pot covers. These can range from simple sleeves with minimal designs to elaborate, fully-covered pieces that turn your plants into living art installations. This is a great way to tie your greenery into your overall decor scheme. Green Thumb Tip: Ensure your embroidered pot covers have proper drainage or are easily removable for plant care. Conclusion: Incorporating embroidery into your home decor opens up a world of creative possibilities. From subtle accents to bold statement pieces, embroidery allows you to infuse your personal style and craftsmanship into every room of your home. Whether you're an experienced embroiderer looking to showcase your skills or simply appreciate the artistry of needlework, these 15 ideas provide a starting point for transforming your living spaces with texture, color, and handmade charm. Remember, the key to successfully integrating embroidery into your decor is balance. Mix embroidered pieces with other textures and materials to create a layered, sophisticated look. Don't be afraid to experiment with different styles, from traditional florals to modern geometric patterns, to find what best reflects your personal aesthetic. By thoughtfully incorporating embroidery throughout your home, you'll create a warm, inviting atmosphere that tells your unique story. So pick up that needle and thread, or seek out beautiful embroidered pieces, and start stitching your way to a more personalized and artistic living space today! Read the full article

Elevate Your Home with the Latest Curtain and Blind Trends

Homeowners are looking into a variety of cutting-edge window treatment solutions this year that combine design, utility, and individual flair. Modernizing your blinds and curtains can completely change the look and feel of your rooms while also providing useful advantages. These are the hottest styles for best curtains and blinds in melbourne in 2024.

Earth tones and Natural Materials

In interior design, natural materials are becoming more and more popular. Deep, rich tones of stone, marble, and terracotta are trendy, and they go well with window treatments made of linen, bamboo, and other organic textiles. These earthy color schemes create a warm, welcoming ambiance by adding depth and warmth. Peach Fuzz, the soft pink-orange Pantone Color of the Year, is becoming a popular option for Roman blinds in Melbourne and drapes that want to add a subtle yet eye-catching detail.

Vibrant Patterns and Maximalist Designs

Against the natural trend, maximalist and aggressive styles are also gaining traction. Vibrantly colored luxurious velvets and eye-catching designs like zebra and leopard prints are returning. Consider combining midnight-blue silk with sheers with Aztec patterns for a striking look. This style promotes audacious texture and pattern experimenting, which makes for distinctive and eye-catching interior design.

Accepting Textured Materials

The capacity of textured fabrics to give a space depth and coziness is making them more and more popular. Textured materials improve the tactile feel of your surroundings; examples include rich velvets and linens, as well as natural open weaves and embroidered fabrics. By layering various textures, you can make your window treatments stand out and create a visually appealing and inviting space.

Stratified Color Schemes

As the appeal of monochromatic interiors declines, layering colors is becoming increasingly common. Various tones and colors combined produce an appearance that is vibrant and rich. Warm color schemes, which are frequently emphasized by colder tones, offer a well-balanced and adaptable look. To give your decor depth and individuality, try combining sheers and curtains in complementing hues.

Shiny Accents for a Glam Look

Window treatments can now sport a glamorous and sophisticated touch thanks to the return of metallic accents. Popular options include metallic-threaded fabrics, glittering grommets, and glossy beading. Your window coverings will appear instantly better with these accessories, creating luxurious focal points for your house.

Light-filled, minimalist spaces

The emphasis on light, airy, and peaceful spaces is what makes minimalism a major trend even now. This style is accomplished with the use of soft finishes, subtle reflective textiles, and crisp whites. Choose light-reflective flowing curtains and textiles for a soft shine to create a cheery yet serene ambiance. While keeping a calm feel, watercolor patterns and subtle abstract prints can improve the minimalist look.

Tailored Window Treatments

Custom window treatments are becoming more popular than mass-produced ones. Customized blinds and curtains offer distinctive looks that complement your interior design and sense of style. Customization guarantees a great fit and makes it possible to create unique designs that are tailored to your preferences and demands.

Sensible and Workable Solutions

The key to contemporary window coverings is practicality. Skylights and motorized blinds are popular because of their low energy consumption and ease of usage. Good curtains and blinds can help control the temperature inside a space, which can save energy by lowering the need for additional heating or cooling. With the ease and improved usefulness of remote control via smartphones or tablets, smart window treatments are available.

Comfort-Fold Roman Shades

Soft-fold Roman blinds are gaining popularity due to their sophisticated and adaptable style. When lowered, these blinds give off a smooth appearance and stack nicely when lifted. They provide a range of textiles, from sheer to blockout, giving you choice in terms of privacy and light management. For living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, soft-fold Roman blinds are perfect since they add a contemporary and sophisticated touch.

Sustainable Decisions

An increasing trend in interior design is sustainability. Eco-friendly window treatments are made to be as low-impact on the environment as possible without sacrificing style. Sustainable textiles are strong and appropriate for a range of climates. Today, many providers promote both environmental responsibility and aesthetic appeal by providing a variety of eco-friendly choices in various patterns and styles.

Makeover Your House Right Now

When it comes to getting the most out of your window treatments, consult with knowledgeable experts who can offer customized solutions. Experts in automated curtains and blinds can assist you in choosing the newest materials, hues, and designs to complement your interior design and way of life.

The Ultimate Guide to Custom Roman Shades: Everything You Need to Know

In the world of window treatments, Roman shades stand out as timeless classics, blending elegance and functionality seamlessly. Their versatility, coupled with customizable options, makes them a popular choice for homeowners looking to elevate their interior décor. If you're considering custom Roman shades for your space, you're in for a treat. In this comprehensive guide, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to make informed decisions and transform your windows into stunning focal points.

Understanding Custom Roman Shades

Before diving into customization options, let's start with the basics. Roman shades are window coverings that stack evenly when raised and lay flat when lowered, offering a clean and tailored look. They are available in various styles, including flat, hobbled, and relaxed, each adding its unique charm to a room.

1. Material Matters

The first step in customizing your Roman shades is selecting the right material. Fabrics range from lightweight linens to luxurious silks, allowing you to set the tone for your space. Consider factors such as light filtration, privacy, and maintenance requirements when choosing the fabric. For instance, if you want to diffuse natural light while maintaining privacy, opt for semi-sheer fabrics like voile or lightweight cotton blends.

2. Style Selection

Roman shades come in different styles, each offering a distinct aesthetic appeal. Flat Roman shades feature a smooth, unbroken appearance when lowered, making them ideal for modern and minimalist interiors. On the other hand, hobbled (or teardrop) Roman shades have cascading folds, adding texture and visual interest to traditional and eclectic spaces. Relaxed Roman shades offer a casual, unstructured look, perfect for creating a laid-back atmosphere in living rooms or bedrooms.

3. Customization Options

One of the most significant advantages of opting for custom Roman shades is the ability to personalize every detail according to your preferences. From choosing the size and shape to selecting decorative trims and embellishments, the possibilities are endless. Consider adding contrast banding, decorative tapes, or embroidered accents to complement your existing décor and elevate the overall look of your windows.

4. Lifting Mechanisms

Custom Roman shades offer a range of lifting mechanisms to suit your convenience and functionality requirements. Traditional corded systems provide smooth operation, while cordless options offer enhanced child and pet safety, as well as a clean, uncluttered appearance. For ultimate convenience, consider motorized Roman shades that can be controlled remotely via a smartphone app or integrated with home automation systems for seamless operation.

5. Professional Installation vs. DIY

While DIY installation may seem tempting, especially with the abundance of online tutorials and guides, opting for professional installation ensures proper fit and functionality. Experienced installers can assess your windows, recommend the most suitable mounting options, and ensure that your custom Roman shades operate smoothly for years to come.

6. Maintenance and Care

To keep your custom Roman shades looking fresh and pristine, regular maintenance is key. Depending on the fabric type, you may need to dust or vacuum them periodically to remove dust and debris. Spot clean stains promptly using a mild detergent and lukewarm water, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the fabric. For deeper cleaning, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or seek professional cleaning services to maintain the integrity of your shades.

Conclusion

Custom Roman shades offer a perfect blend of style, versatility, and functionality, making them a popular choice for discerning homeowners. By understanding the various customization options and factors to consider, you can create personalized window treatments that enhance the beauty and comfort of your home. Whether you prefer sleek and modern designs or classic and timeless elegance, custom Roman shades can transform your windows into stunning focal points that reflect your unique sense of style.

Softened Window Frames: Create a cozy atmosphere by softening the appearance of window frames with the delicate touch of sheer curtains.

Enhanced Acoustics: Enjoy improved acoustics by reducing echo and noise pollution with the combination of sheer and blackout curtains.

5. Choosing Fabrics and Styles:

Sheer Curtains: Explore lightweight, embroidered, or patterned sheers to cater to your desired aesthetic.

Blackout Curtains: Opt for thick fabrics, triple-weave technology, or thermal lining for enhanced light-blocking and insulation.

6. Mixing and Matching:

Color Coordination: Coordinate sheer and blackout curtains with your existing color scheme for a cohesive look.

Texture and Patterns: Introduce subtle textures or patterns to complement your space without overpowering existing elements.

Curtain Rod and Hardware: Ensure the curtain rod and hardware seamlessly blend with your overall interior design theme.

7. Ensuring a Proper Fit and Hanging:

Accurate Measurements: Measure windows accurately to determine curtain width and length.

Installation Tips: Hang sheer curtains higher for an illusion of taller windows, and use separate rods for sheer and blackout curtains for efficient layering.

Why Are Made-to-Order Curtains a Popular Choice for Home Decor?

In the realm of home decor, curtains are more than just window coverings; they play a crucial role in shaping the ambiance and functionality of a room. Among the many options available, made-to-order curtains have emerged as a popular choice for discerning homeowners. This popularity can be attributed to a variety of factors, including customization, quality, and the ability to harmonize with both traditional and modern interiors. In this article, we'll explore why made-to-order curtains, including sheer curtains, traditional curtains, sheer drapes, classic curtains, modern curtains, and embroidered curtains, are favored in home decor.

1. Customization for Perfect Fit

One of the primary advantages of made-to-order curtains is their customization. Unlike off-the-shelf options, made-to-order curtains are tailored to fit specific window dimensions and design preferences. This ensures a perfect fit, eliminating the issues of length and width discrepancies that can often arise with standard sizes. Whether you're looking for sheer curtains to add a touch of elegance or traditional curtains for a more classic look, customization allows you to achieve the exact look you envision.

2. Design Flexibility

Made-to-order curtains offer unparalleled design flexibility. Homeowners can choose from a wide range of fabrics, colors, patterns, and styles to match their decor. For instance, sheer drapes can create a light, airy feel, perfect for modern interiors, while embroidered curtains add a touch of luxury and sophistication to traditional settings. The ability to select fabric types, such as luxurious silks or practical cottons, and details like trims and linings allows for a high degree of personalization.

3. Quality and Craftsmanship

The quality of made-to-order curtains often surpasses that of ready-made options. Skilled craftsmen and high-quality materials ensure durability and a refined finish. Whether opting for classic curtains with intricate patterns or modern curtains with sleek lines, the attention to detail in made-to-order curtains enhances both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the window treatments. Embroidered curtains, for instance, not only serve as a visual focal point but also showcase the craftsmanship involved in their creation.

4. Enhancing Home Aesthetics

Made-to-order curtains are designed to complement a home's existing decor, whether it's traditional, classic, or modern. Sheer curtains can add a soft, ethereal quality to a room, allowing natural light to filter through while maintaining privacy. On the other hand, traditional curtains and classic curtains can provide a more formal, structured look. Modern curtains, with their clean lines and minimalistic designs, suit contemporary spaces perfectly. This versatility ensures that curtains can enhance any decor style, creating a cohesive and polished look.

5. Improved Functionality

Beyond aesthetics, made-to-order curtains can be designed with specific functionalities in mind. For example, sheer drapes are excellent for diffusing light and maintaining privacy without blocking out natural light, making them ideal for spaces where a balance of brightness and seclusion is desired. Similarly, curtains with blackout linings are perfect for bedrooms, providing darkness and insulation. The ability to choose these functionalities based on individual needs adds to the appeal of made-to-order options.

6. Unique and Personalized Touch

A key reason for the popularity of made-to-order curtains is the unique, personalized touch they bring to a home. Off-the-shelf curtains might lack individuality, but made-to-order options allow homeowners to infuse their personal style into their decor. Whether it's the choice of fabric, the pattern of embroidery, or the specific length and width, every detail can be customized to reflect personal taste and create a unique statement within the home.

7. Longevity and Value

Investing in made-to-order curtains often translates to better longevity and value. High-quality materials and precise craftsmanship contribute to their durability, ensuring that they remain in excellent condition for years. Additionally, the tailored fit and design flexibility often mean that these curtains can adapt to changing trends or decor updates, providing long-term value and reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Conclusion

Made-to-order curtains stand out as a popular choice in home decor due to their customization, quality, and versatility. From sheer curtains that offer a delicate touch to embroidered curtains that add a layer of luxury, these window treatments cater to a wide range of aesthetic preferences and functional needs. Whether enhancing traditional charm or complementing modern minimalism, made-to-order curtains provide a perfect balance of style and substance, making them a worthwhile investment for any home.

By opting for made-to-order curtains, homeowners can ensure that their window treatments are not only visually appealing but also functional, durable, and uniquely tailored to their living spaces.
