I agree it would be helpful to know the limitations before making suggestions. Since you mention you cannot paint the walls, I am wondering if other options that will require patching and repainting when the hardware is removed are an option? The suggestion to do inside mount bamboo shades is a good one and would be much easier to patch up when you leave since all the holes would be inside the jam and most likely covered up by the vertical blinds when they are put back when you leave. If you need to leave the verticals there then I suggest doing stationary panels to either side on a decorative rod, but the patching/repainting will then be more extensive. An advantage of the stationary panels is it would be something that is not custom to the window size and you could reuse elsewhere in another home.

Thanks everyone! We are installing hardwood throughout the entire downstairs.The revere pewter is actually through french doors off of both rooms but you can't really see itwell from either room so I am not so worried about that going with the other rooms as much. It is mainly this view I want to flow well. I considered van cortland blue for the formal living room but it might be too dark/bold for me. I tend to be more neutral/conservative when decorating. And yes I love the yarmouth blue but don't think I want it everywhere. It looks perfect in the dining room.

Thank you for all your comments. I ve moved the new house, without painting the walls. I wanted to see my furniture in the room, then wanted to decide exactly. ı placed the furnitures in this way. nowadays im thinking about teal/ bali colors behind the console and creme sofa and a goldy paint behind the turqoise sofa. How does it sound...? About curtains. I dont want to use brown, beige colors for. What about curtains a gold colored curtain or light teal tones. How would it be? Im so confused. :( Thank you very much for your help.

Try Ben Moore "Touch of Gray" 2116-60--it's a very toned lavender and I used it in a guest room with an eastern exposure. Looks great with sage green and black accents. BUT you need to try the actual color in your room to see if it works. Colors can look very different in different locations, and can change depending on the light, the floor color, what's outside the window, etc. Another caveat--don't pay any attention to the name of the color. They usually do not accurately describe the color. Lots of colors with "white" in their name could be pink, yellow, blue, green, etc.
