master bedroom curtains
Hi everyone! We just finished our addition which included a new master bedroom. Looking for suggestions as to what kind of curtains, curtain rod, etc would look good! Also, any suggestions about what to put above the bed? A nice piece of abstract art? Nice large prints of my favorite family photos? My husband and I like comfortable styles. Love pottery barn’s style!

Heating elements, length of drapes, help
Comments (3)My furniture also hides the length of most of my drapes, but there are 2 places where they're visible and anything other than floor-length would have looked silly. I went ahead and hung them anyway and figured I could always hem (ok, safety pin...I rarely sew!) them up when the heat came on. We could stand having it look weird for a few months out of the year. It turned out to not really be a problem. They get warm, but not hot, and they cover just a tiny part of the baseboard heater. They are a very light burlap-ish fabric, though; I might not have tired it with something heavy and rich like velour....See Morei'm making curtains - help!
Comments (10)Margaret, I'm inferring from your post asking where and what kind of fabric, that you don't really sew?? Otherwise, you would know where to go and what to buy. If you ultimately decide to try this, be sure to get someone who sews to give you some tips on making your simple panels so that they hang right and look good. There is nothing more frustrating than thinking that you are going to save money by doing it yourself, and then, not really liking the results. House of Fabrics online is a good source. For local, I like JoAnns because they have 40% off sales on decorator fabrics very frequently, and they have nice choices. I got my Waverly chenille, which looks good and hangs beautifully, there, for maybe about $10 per yard for their sale price. (takes about 5 yards to make two panels 50" wide.) Hancocks has good sales too and nice choices. Another possibility if you can find something that fits your style and color requirements, can be sheets. I have bought twin sheets many times for simple cotton curtains. They already have a hem and hemmed sides. You just have to work out the rod pocket, or even hang them on clip rings with the header folded over. A twin is usually 66" wide, so you can get a nice fullness that makes up for the fact that you are using a thinner cotton fabric instead of a heavier decorator fabric. Another bonus to fooling around with sheets? You can buy a nice flat sheet from Macy's (on sale please!) or wherever, bring it home, use clip rings to try it out on your window, and if you don't love the look/color/pattern, fold it up, bring it back for refund. Someone else suggested buying panels. Well, if you do not really sew, you may just be much happier with readymades. Check out HomeGoods/Marshalls/Ross/JCPenney/Walmart/Target. Save your receipt in case you don't fall in love.

Comments (25)Yes, I think pink is a beautiful color for a master bedroom! The trick is picking the right pink and then balancing it with other elements that are not overly feminine. I love pink and brown together, or black. When choosing a grownup ink go to the brown section in your color deck. As you move up to the lighter colors you will see what I refer to as dirty pinks. These are softer, more pleasing pinks that men can love....See MoreMaster bedroom help- New construction

I like the info in this graphic. I don't think that curtains always look good right up against the ceiling. Sometimes they can look crammed up there. You have pretty molding so I don't think that will be a problem for you. If standard lengths don't work with your windows you can always add a couple of inches with curtain rings.

With gray curtains and working well with other patterns:
Another direction would be to add texture and an organic feel with a jute rug ... I like them in modern-transitional style rooms for the contrast with sleeker surfaces:
