Along with a fresh school supplies, your children will likely appreciate a fresh look for their rooms. Sally Morse, director of creative services at Hunter Douglas, Canada's leading manufacturer of custom window fashions, has some suggestions: A special placeIt is important for your child to have a special space in his or her room dedicated to schoolworkeven if your school boy or girl does not have a room of their own, you can use moldings, a screen or even a cur- tain to separate the space from the rest of the room. A closet may even be converted into a study area with storage transferred to an armoire or under-the-bed containers. Wherever the study area is, make sure it is equipped with a good work surface and outlets for a computer and task lamp. Peace and quietNoise from the outdoors can be a distraction especially to children. All Hunter Douglas window fashions are rated for sound absorption. Duette Architella honeycomb shades and Vignette Modern Roman Shades have especially high ratings with several fabric styles absorbing up to 70 per cent of reflected sound. Cozy and comfortableYou want to make your child's room as warm and welcoming as possible. Yet with skyrocketing fuel prices, cranking up the heat becomes a costly option. Duette Architella honeycomb shades provide great energy efficiency at the window that can significantly reduce heat loss at the window. Create an appealing atmo- sphereTake a cue from your child's special interests to select a theme for decorating their room and creating an inviting setting they'll look forward to spending time in. Whether it's a room for the sports enthusiast or an animal- lover, there is a design scheme for every interest.
