Two Story Great Room

13 years ago

I need help with ideas on window treatments for a two story great room. We have been in the house for two years now and my husband is starting to complain that he's living in a fish bowl since the windows are all bare. i love the natural light that comes through and the windows are all framed with nice molding so i'm not inclined to cover them up. Would you guys post any pics of what you have done or inspiration photos. Photos with plantation shutters would be great.

What are your objectives for the window treatments?
- Block light?
- Energy efficiency?
- Screen ugly views?
- Frame lovely views?
- Highlight moldings?
- Just because your room seems 'naked' without them?

The best window treatments for your room will depend a lot on your goals...

Lighting for Two Story Great Room
Q
Comments (6)
Oh, I see. The uplighting from the knee walls is sounding better now. The previous owners of my house used wall-mounted track lighting in my finished attic, which is all sloping roof surfaces and has no horizontal ceiling on which to mount lights more conventionally. We position the fixtures to bounce light off of nearby wall and roof surfaces, and it's a very nice effect. Most of what I know about lighting design is geared towards kitchens -- I'm out of my depth in rooms like you're describing. One thing I've found very helpful is to get a few of those cheap clip-on utility lights with aluminum reflectors and try out different sorts of bulbs, in different positions and orientations, to see what effects you get. This lets you experiment with many ideas very quickly, and is a lot of fun.

Two Story Great Room Painting and Trim/Molding Questions
Q
Comments (26)
I have a few more options. What do you think? Palimpsest, I did the one panel like you suggested and fixed the heights. I also like the idea of doing sort of a raised panel look, either in the color of the trim (with everything the same color) or else in the color of my book cases so it could mimic the book cases on the other wall (they will be stained blue) Any of these options look good? If I went with option 4 or 5, I'd probably have the paneling look more like this than exactly like above: Either painted trim color or painted in the blue.

@jck910....some grest suggestions there....thank you! @Sammy....actually, we have noticed an increase in the brightness of the room even with the new windows. Getting rid of the transoms and the 1/4 round windows made the room a lot lighter. I do think an additional window will make a difference as well. Now, it will not bring in any direct sunlight as a skylight would, but I’m not a big fan of skylights so hadn’t even thought of that. I will definitely run that by them.

Two Story Great Room - Closed off Second Floor?
Q
Comments (16)
Jennifer K - We're looking at an A-Frame which typically has the two story of windows, although it's a vaulted ceiling and not totally opened to other space above. We like the modern A frame for our lot which is in the forest in a country setting. I guess we could always keep the A frame style in the exterior but not inside? That may be odd though. We're meeting our architecture/design team on Monday, but we wanted to have a good idea of our wants and needs so that we communicate them well. chispa - We do use a baby monitor. we don't necessarily need to hear what they do upstairs, I'm just more worried about how loud the main floor is for them when they're trying to sleep and we're down there. I've searched the forum which is what lead me here. Most of the posts mention two story rooms opened to the second floor, but I hadn't been able to find lots about two story rooms which were closed off to the second floor.

Oh sweeby, that's magnificent. I love gardening and being outside, so the idea of being able to bring the outside in is just wonderful.

arijae - Can you post some pictures of your house so we can see your exact set up? Are you windows the height of the room or do you have upper and lower windows?

Maybe just do window treatments, like shutters, for the lower parts... ?
