You don’t need to invest in a complicated planting system to create a vertical garden. A metal trellis attached to the wall can provide a place for hanging potted plants or for indoor vines to climb. In this loft in Barcelona, Spain, the architects added a metal trellis to the wall spanning floors and hung potted rhipsalis (Rhipsalis sp.) and staghorn fern (Platycerium sp.). As a result, the bare white wall has been transformed into a dynamic, leafy feature
Drapes. The first option many homeowners consider when dressing French doors is mounting draperies above and beyond the door frame. The effect is a thick fabric border that can be drawn closed at the center or, as in this case, drawn in one direction to cover both the door and adjacent window with two separate panels. To avoid inhibiting the function of the doors, you’ll want to stack those draperies completely on the wall. Design tip: A good formula for calculating this “stackback,” as it is known in the trade, is to use one-third of your window’s width from frame to frame. If you are using two panels, simply divide this number in half to determine how far beyond the window to mount each one.
