I would try introducing a fabric that offers a little bit of the same red in it along with some other color(s). If you go to Fabric.com and look through their designer fabrics, there are some really pretty samples there. Then once you find something you like, you could have them made on Etsy. I just did that with some valances and am really happy with the outcome. The shop I used is called TheIvyTrellis and I can’t say enough good things about them, their prices are reasonable and Rosa, the lady who owns it is fabulous to work with, extremely helpful.

If you post some pictures of the fabrics you like, it would help people to see what you have in mind. Visuals always help.

Another pic of rug colors closer up. It's actually a lot lighter than the first pic. Thanks for any help.

lukklirish, thank you for your suggestion. Im terrible at decorating, so I was thinking more along the lines of finding some online that I could order and just hang. I've been working on one thing at a time and would like to get this room finished and move on to the next. I just don't think I could make a decision on a fabric. I'm searching pottery barn, wayfair etc. and stuck. So once again I decided to turn to this forum for input. Any suggestions?

What kind of budget do you have? Have you considered Roman Shades or even faux romans at all? I think with the size of your windows, they may be a good option.

The thing that I ran into when I bought our living room panels “off the shelf” from JCP, is that not one of the panels was the 84 inches the package said it was. Some were two inches shorter and others were 2-3 inches longer. When I inquired a manager about it, I was told that as far as quality control was concerned that was acceptable. (No wonder they’re going out of business!). I went to several of their locations trying to find 6 panels of equal length and still no success. I ended up having to buy 96 inch panels and paying an additional 120.00 to a seamstress to have them all cut down. If I had known then what I know today about Etsy, I would have gone that route in a heart beat.

Choosing fabric can absolutely be over whelming, but most of the shops have fabrics to choose from too. It’s really no different than buying from Pottery Barn or Wayfair and the quality will be so much better. I found this faux Roman shade in the Etsy store JamiesInteriors. I like how the fabric is repeating the colors in your rug while introducing a couple of new colors too. I’m not the best at choosing fabrics myself but this at least gives you an idea.

I paid quite a bit to have the wood blinds installed so they will need to stay. They couldn't be mounted inside due to my windows. Also, the room is open to the second floor so I have very high ceilings. I looked at the site and will check there when I do my kitchen, though. The windows need drapes to soften the room and help with the cathedral ceiling. I'm not sure how high they need to hang, either. Any other suggestions?

The blinds are nice. I like ours especially for light control. That said, I would still do a valance of some sort instead of drapes. The pic above is actually faux romans which are pretty popular and used with blinds a lot, but there are so many valance styles to choose from so your options would be pretty open. They can also soften a room, but in the pictures you’ve posted, I sense that your windows might be too small width wise and too far from each other for drapes. I could be wrong, but maybe My3Dogs will chime in when she can. She’s the one I looked to for feed back on fabrics and ideas I had for our windows.

Do you like the fabric I posted above? I was looking for something with a bohemian feel to it because the rug is bohemian. Or is there a different type of print you’re drawn too like Ikat or Floral? Did you just like the rug you bought or are you really drawn to the bohemian style?

Yes, I do like that fabric very much. I do like a bohemian feel, but all my furniture was handed down to me from my Mom and it's traditional. So, I don't know what my style really is :) I'll post some better pics from upstairs looking down to give a better view/scale of the room.

It’s ok to mix styles, lots of people do. That’s a pretty nice Mom to give you such nice furniture. It all looks like it’s in really great condition. I suspect that little pops of bohemian can work, especially because the colors you’re using are seen quite a bit in traditional decor as well.

Hopefully these pics will help visualize the size of the room. The lighting makes the rug appear darker than it really is. I know I need lamps, accessories etc but I'm desperately hunting online for curtains. I have tried to center the living area around the fireplace since I will be hanging a tv there, so ignore the bookcases etc. I plan on making some sort of entryway at the door. Any help would be great.

To tell the truth, I'm not crazy about the color of my walls seeing them on here. I was planning on a fresh coat of paint, but may pick something else along the same shade it is now, just not as "yellow". I'm trying to bring the whole room up to date but having a hard time doing it. :(
