window treatments for awkwardly placed MBed window?
Me again, I'm on a roll with the questions!
Our master bedroom window sits hard against a corner, and is quite large. I need to put up something on the window to make the room feel finished, but I don't know what. The right side of the window is a long wall, so that end feels like it's calling for curtains. But
any curtains would hide a good portion of the left side of the window.
We
don't particularly need privacy or light control., but we do need
something to make the giant window feel more "done". The top half of the
windows look out into trees. I've thought of doing a giant roman shade,
but then I will cut off the treehouse feeling of the room. Not the end
of the world, but I just can't seem to bite the bullet on that option.
Traditional
room, built in a barn so the beams are visible. High peaked ceiling.
This is in only window in the room. Bed is to the right in the pictures.
Chair, lamp, side table will eventually go in front of the window.
I definitely prefer fabric to a wood shade, the room could use some softness.
Opinions please!

8 years agoWhat a pretty room! I suggest stacking the bulk of the curtains to the right of the window, a little bit like this picture, which is one small , very off center window disguised as large window with lots of fabric. You don't need to have this much fabric off to the side, though. : )

Awkwardly places windows - window treatment suggestions?
Comments (18)We had Silhouettes in our last Philly house and I didn't love them. Do people not like those wood slat blinds anymore? Have they gone out of vogue? I do like the idea of a fabric blind a lot. Hopefully we can find some options that will work with the paint color. So hard!! Graywings - the paint color is Wedgewood Gray - we've used it before (with wood blinds now I think about it) and love the color. This is the 3rd house we've had a Wedgewood Gray bedroom in. We're such creatures of habit. Lol. Here it is in our Hoboken house. Do you like it with these blinds? Or not enough color?...See MoreWindow treatments for uneven window heights?
Comments (10)I'd consider simple blinds everywhere, with no valances, and only doing the bottom two-thirds of the tall windows. If you don't have small children, you could even use a bottom up on the tall windows so that the stack would be at the bottom when open. For color, if you are looking for a warm, barely gray, neutral, you might want to look at SW popular gray cut down 50%. It's a nice neutral that has some life to it, changing moods in different lighting throughout the dat and works well with almost anything. We used it in our old house and are using it again in our new house. To be perfectly honest, I don't see undertones well when selecting paint and after lucking into it in the old house, I was pretty sure it would be safe in the new. Even though we had used it before I still painted poster boards and moved them around the new house at different times of day to be sure it would work....See MoreWindow treatments for a bay window
Comments (5)If this is a first floor room you might need to cover the entire window? If so, I would consider plantation shutters. If it is a second story room you could just go with cafe shutters or cafe curtains. I much prefer natural light rather than using shades....See MoreWindow Treatment for front-facing window over stairs
Comments (11)Well, they'll probably climb up on the bench! If it's mostly daytime privacy needed there, you could also look at reflective film. It will block the view inside as long as it's brighter outside than inside. So at night, if you have lights on inside, people can see through it on the outside. If you have a bright porch light, it might provide some reflection, even at night. Here's a window similar to yours with the frosted film only on the bottom panes. Reflective film would be less noticeable....See More

8 years agoI would consider a colonial window treatment something like the one below, only I'd get a more sheer fabric, maybe a natural linen. I'd hang the left over the left window, the right over the right window and either leave the center window blank or add a short valance to connect the two. This will add some softness and yet not entail a large amount of fabric that would cover up the windows.
