window treatments for dining room
Comments (6)It is fashionable right now to hang curtains higher but it's harder to find the longer panels at many stores. My Mom always had her curtains made, though she could have done them herself, so that when they were open they barely covered the woodwork. That way you have maximum light exposure and view. Again not necessary but nice. Since you have your's hung from clip rings I'd recommend extending the rods to their fullest potential, without weakening their strength, and hanging a few of the clip rings outside the bracket where it is attached now. Again I don't think it's necessary to raise them. Unless you have someone that can repair wall board without it showing where the brackets were before, I'd not move them. They look very nice where they are in my opinion. Hollygarden's idea of sewing your own is a great idea if you can do so for less than it would cost to buy them or can't find what you want ready made. I used to make all our window treatments and we've moved allot so I've made more than I can remember. Even made some for my Mom's kitchen twice. Fabric stores aren't the only place to loook for fabric. I've used sheets and even table clothes as fabric for curtains. It's longer and wider than you can get in just about everything but muslin by the yard and you can find them at so many more places. You could also incorporate these panels if you found the same type of fabric in a solid to match one of their colors. I'm in the process of finding panels for our ladies parlor and will be heading to JC Penneys tomorrow afternoon to see in person something I found online that I've been drooling over the past two days. I hope we both get lucky in our searches....See MoreHelp with window treatments in living and dining room

Comments (3)*shutters ("shudder" = tremble or quiver) I'd choose panel drapes to stack off each side of the window. You could do blinds or shutters also (match color to the trim). You have hundreds of options for drapery color/pattern since you don't have any other patterns in the room. Choose something that brings in some of the red from the walls....See MoreNeed help with window treatment for 14 windows in Dining/Living room
Comments (7)Hey There: We suggest that you go with blinds or shades for each window individually. A window treatment must be functional at first and looking at your pictures, the new tenant needs privacy and light management. I assume that the bottom window blinds will never be used in the first place but they will allow for light coming in and for privacy.
