Window treatments in an open floor plan

16 years ago

Shortly after we moved in to our home three years ago, I had a local window covering company install cellular shades on several windows.

I'm adding cellular shades (blackout, this time) to the bedroom, but I'm wondering about the kitchen and dining room windows. We have a great room style main floor, with all three rooms open to each other in an L shape.

The Living room:

An older pic of the dining room and kitchen windows:

The garden doors to the deck have aluminum miniblinds built in. The window treatment salesgirl has recommended that I put white faux wood blinds on the two side windows and the kitchen window. What do you think?

The white valances will go, and the transom window will be left untreated. The blinds will be left open most of the time except for hot summer days. My principal reason for getting them is for sun blockage to try and keep the house cooler in the summer (no air con here).

Thanks,

Carrie
