Window treatment ideas for HUGE window
Comments (14)If you do decide on curtains, I think theresa's idea is interesting. The only problem I see there is that the outdoor fabrics tend to be quite heavy, and for such a big window, I think you'd have too much bulk and weight to make them work inside. But building on her idea of tying the window to the view, and depending on your style, what about considering lightweight nylon sailcloth or parachute cloth? Those billowy fabrics come in very wide widths, you can put a lot of yardage on a traverse rod - or a regular rod with grommets - without weighing it down, and you could stack lots of it to the sides without creating too much bulk.. And where you live, you ought to be able to find a sailmaker who can get the material and make your panels. If you want to consider that, the way to make them feel more homelike is to make the panels with very deep hems - 10 or 12 inches, I'd say. You also might need to add a light weighting chain in the hems, to keep them hanging well, but I think they could be very pretty and effective....See MoreWindow treatment ideas needed for son's arched window?
Comments (2)I would make a cornice out of foam insulation board or plywood in the arch shape. I'd paint it to look like a road with a double white line in the center and attach something car-related--red brake lights for example along the arch and hang curtains as daisyadair has described....See MoreWindow treatment ideas for ranch/strip windows?
Comments (6)I have similar windows but mine are not quite as wide (79") and I believe they aren't as high. I currently have "make do" curtains across them until I decide on window treatments. In the primary bedroom (i just can't call it a master at 9 x 12), I am torn between shutters (which I would attach to trim which we'd add) or linen roller shades with curtain panels. I like the idea of panels to soften the small rectangular room but I love the clean look of shutters. In the spare rooms (one is being converted from storage to a dressing room-- the other is in the process of being converted from a spare room to an office), I will do either fabric roller shades or custom shutters. As you can see, I have no trim-- typical modest mid century ranch style. I do plan to put trim around all the bedroom windows. Here's a photo of the short wall (work was still being done at this point-- painting and floor refinishing. I have not yet replaced the hideous closet doors.) I really like this look with blinds.. simple and clean.. nothing to catch dust. But this room has one window with panels and one without. I'd worry that two without would feel cold or institutional....See MoreNeed window treatment ideas for nearly floor to ceiling windows?
