'Memorial Day Is Here'

It was a day first celebrated in 1868 as an American holiday where we honor our veterans – both past and present. And now, it is perhaps the start of (not only the summer but…) some of the season’s best sales.

No better way to show your stars and stripes than by doing a little shopping. Memorial Day weekend might be a week away, but at Décor Innovation you can start shopping now.

Pinstripe Blackout Curtains (now $48.74)

For directional draping, invest in a pair of pinstripe blackout curtains for your living room or bedroom (was $74.99). The curtains – available in beige, burgundy and navy – feature vertical stripes that run along the length of each 52” panel.

Compliment a study or home office with this tailored pinstripe pattern. Or use the pinstripes as a way to lengthen a space with low ceilings, for instance. The unlined curtains block incoming sunlight and drown out noise thanks to its triple weave fabric.

Silk Dupioni Blackout Curtains (now $48.74)

Instant luxury at a fraction of the price. These silk dupioni blackout curtains (was $89.99) in rich colors like sage, chocolate, burgundy transform any dull décor into an in-house getaway. The sumptuous fabric drapes effortlessly in two 52” panels.

Follow the textured weave to the top hem and find more than one option when it comes to installation using a curtain rod: either shirr on for a traditional look, or slide on for a more contemporary/utilitarian feel.

Cheetah, Coyote and Wild Cat Throws (each $63.74)

As the proud owner of a faux cheetah throw, I cannot tell you how anyone would be amiss if he/she did not have at least one faux fur throw. Temperatures might be rising here in New York, but I still manage to cuddle against my lynx faux fur throw every night.

Why? Answer: The micro plush lining is incredibly soft – much softer than the quilted duvet I have on my bed. The faux fur print (whether cheetah, coyote, or wild cat each was $99.99) is not only an ongoing fashion trend, but makes for lively addition to any chaise, sofa or recliner.
