(NAPSI)-"God is in the details," legendary twentieth century architect Mies van der Rohe said. The minimal interiors he created were unforgiving in that any small mistake is apparent. But even in less minimal interiors savvy designers know that details count. Peter Fallico, a contemporary interior designer and TV personality, believes that it's the details that give depth and interest to interiors. Quality and fine craftsmanship provide the bones of good decoration.

For color, Fallico favors the calmness of earth tones but with a hint of jewel colors to spark a room's ambiance. If you look closely at landscape paintings there is often just a hint of red that sparks all the browns and greens. It's the same with interiors.

At the windows, Fallico likes layers, but no swags and tassels, please. He often uses Hunter Douglas light-diffusing Silhouette® window shadings framed by drapery panels or the texture of wood blinds from the Country Woods® Collection™, which comes with the exclusive TopShield™ finish to help protect against everyday wear.

The array of painted and stained finishes and the abundant choices of decorative tapes and three architectural wood valances in this collection enables matching the window coverings to the room's décor. As Fallico says. "It's all in the details."
