Window treatments for a NON window treatment type girl
Comments (14)We are not window treatment people either, but have started to add some as we've reno'd/decorated a few of the rooms in our house; two bathrooms and our office. They really do help to finish off a room. That said, we're not covering our kitchen bow window, or the DR bow window, though I might consider something for the DR window at some point--just for the window panes themselves, not to cover the whole bow-unit. We used Hunter Douglas' Designer Screen Shades in the Roman Shade style (ours are mounted inside the frames becuase of our window style/frame depth). The shades are very clean-lined and range in sheerness. With the sheerer weaves/fabrics, you can see outside with them down and they allow a lot of light in....See MoreSingle guy, who is desperate for window treatment advice!!
Comments (16)Ok in fairness I didn't read all the comments on this, but personally I find everything looks good in silk. I have silk drapes in 80% of my rooms and I love them. They are a steal at JcPenney (online) panels around 30 each. I also have pottery barn, they are basically the same except 4 times the price. My homemade ones are the very best but that is a whole different thread and I think my sewing days are behind me until my kids are grown, a million years from now. And Im guessing you arent a seamstress. For a guest room, be a hero and get a set of blackout liner for behind the curtains like hotels have. And all the bedrooms in my house have these b/c I am not on good terms with early morning and I hope my kids pick up the hint by sleeping in caves as well. I think you can get these at target, maybe Bed Bath and Beyond. The other treatment I am fond of is these dark matchstick (tortoise shell) blinds I have in my oldest sons room. Very masculine and cool. However, I added blackout liner to them and that was a major pain. Look neat though. Got those at target but I dont think they have them anymore. Those temp blinds are horrible. Seriously horrible. If I went to visit someone with them, Id go to a hotel. No offense to anyone who wants to give you time to think, but they are just a pain and you are clearly interested in solving the problem- so solve it!...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 MoreHelp, can we add one window next to a fireplace?
Comments (2)I suggest you hang a mirror the same size to the window on the other side of the fireplace. Or maybe you could get an art piece, similar size as well to balance the room. Orhow about floating shelves or a cabinet. There's actually a lot of different options you can do....See Moresweetverve
