Window treatment ideas for bedroom window

5 years ago

Hello,

First time poster here and I just updated one of the spare bedrooms in my house. I'm pretty new to redecorating, so I'm hoping to find some help/inspiration on window treatments from you fine folks.

Does that window size lend itself well to full length curtains? Would that look good? Or perhaps keeping blinds on them is better? Thoughts on different types of blinds?

Sorry if these questions seem vague, just not really sure the best approach. Thanks a lot.

Hi :) if it were my spare room I would do plantation shutters. That would give your guest privacy when needed.

To my eyes that blind is very depressing. I would remove it. I prefer rooms that are bright and cheerful. I would use grommet top panels ( white or cream) on a decorative rod. Get enough lined panels so that there is ample fullness when closed. If more light control is needed I would use simple white pleated shades with the panels.

White plantation shutters would be nice, too. Window treatments should look nice from the outside as well as the inside. Quite often those shades look like sheets or paper bags from the outside. Your beautiful room deserves better :).

pottery barn sells silk dupioni drapes with black out liner option. or they used to. i've had mine for 7 years now and look great. i'd do 4 panels, on rings, and buy a curtain tender. i think a wall of silver, floor to ceiling, at night would look just fine. better than 3 rectangles in a row.

I would switch the two dressers so the longer one is under the TV which you should lower some. Dress the two windows alike; completely cover them with lined drapes matched to the wall color and hung ceiling to floor. The windows don't look like they provide you with much light anyway and really need to be hidden. Then stand your floor mirror in the other corner. Move the slipper chair in the corner by the floor lamp. Remove the bench/luggage rack to another room.

No not a basement. Yes the bedding is new from pottery barn. Here is a photo of the window. We are current in a rental so we cannot completely flip everything but I would like to find a way to brighten the space. Or a least have less brown

I love Roman shades but something to think about in your situation is how much of the window will be blocked when the shades are “up”. It may be as much as half the window. That may or may not matter to you. The first picture below is of Roman shades in my bedroom in the up position, which blocks about half the window. The height of the window from trim to trim is 18”. This isn’t too much of an issue since we don’t spend time in this room during the day. Another option that hasn’t been mentioned are roller shades. The second and third photos are of roller shades in my home office. Note that I intentionally picked material that was light filtering, not light blocking, given the location. They make them in light blocking material as well which would be better for a bedroom. The valence at the top is only 4”; blocking less of the 18” tall window. The roller shades may or may not go well with your decor/home style. We have these in most rooms of our mid-century ranch and they wofk great.

Hey there: you are working with a plain canvas...so looking at your picture you can do anything from pleated blinds to roller shades to roman blinds or wood blinds. Inside mount or outside mount doesn't matter either. So you are up to find perfection between form and function. Opt for a colorful fabric to make the room more fun for sure...use a system that does NOT have any pull strings or cords to be save with children.
