What window treatment do you like...
Comments (17)Window treatments in my bedroom are a problem. I’ve had Roman shades with a blackout liner for years. Under that I have light filtering roller blinds. That was ideal for a long time as it let in just enough light in the morning when it was time to get up for work. I also have privacy concerns so keep the roller shade down during the day allowed the room to be bright yet private. Unfortunately I have neighbors now who insist on leaving a floodlight on all night and it shines on the side of my house. I’ve asked them to please turn it off at night but they won’t. She says it keep the raccoons out of their trash, which is ridiculous. Now I have to pin The sides of the romans to the window frame to keep the room dark at night. Room darkening roller blinds would not help since I have to keep them down during the day. I haven’t figured out a solution yet. i have top down, bottom up cellular in my den but they are old and will soon be replaced with something. Not sure what!...See MoreWindow treatment advice
Comments (4)I doubt that removing the tangle of fringe from the rug would hurt your mother's feelings. Truth is, she might not even notice, or might breathe a sigh of relief and wonder why she never did so. It seems you have a trio of matching pictures which are all very large for where they are hung. Is the wood framed piece more narrow than the square ones? If so, I would switch it with the one in the dining area. Both of those should be centered 5' above the floor. Since the two side by side ones are overpowering the slender glass table under them, and since you appear to have vertical space, I'd hang those two in a vertical stack with the bottom 5" above the table. I consider window treatments to be a long term investment like upholstered seating, so keep it neutral. That way, switching out your rug and art for a new color theme later on won't require new drapes. At your curved dining window I would simply flank the four windows with two stationary panels. At the bay window I would use four matching panels. Flanking the fireplace I would do a pair of mock roman shades in the same fabric as the panels. For you upper windows, I would try to find a high tech UV film to block out the sun fade issue. Be careful that the installation doesn't void any warranty you have on the windows....See More**Added mockups** What type of window treatments would you do?
Comments (31)I agree pattern is probably not the way to go with such tall narrow panels. A cream that goes with the rock could be pretty; possibly a gray. I suspect it would be tough to find a light blue that would go with the rock plus whatever else you want to use in the room. I find the varied height of the shades you mocked up distracting, and it looks like you'd have to do the lower height in the adjacent room as well. If you're set on having shades, maybe you can get a mock up of them all across at the level above the cornice. And the lower rod to correspond. If they're well lined it might not be obvious that the window on the far left actually has blank wall behind it. Good luck with your move!...See MoreHow would you recommend doing window treatments for this room?
Comments (8)I agree with the light filtering blinds, I 'd go with down/up for an interesting look. Although, you will still need fabric panels of some sort, I would go with grommet oanels for acoustical value, I see the TV will be in that area. Also a very large area rug....See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agoMelissa, what type of coverings do you want? something for total privacy? (the shutters will work for that, although I find that they can cut down on the light in the room, even if the slats are completely open. if you have a super bright room and lots of windows, then the shutters could work. Like the ones IdaClaire shows. but you do have very narrow windows. just know that it will affect the amount of light coming in. if you have dark winters or northern light, I wouldn't do them)
although, this could be an option
If you aren't worried about privacy or too much light, you could just do some taller drapes.any of the others that I posted work fine for privacy, and depending upon the color chosen, will also filter or darken the light.
the other question is your furniture. what type of furniture are you going to have?

make sure you hang the rod high over the top of the window, and let the rod extend past the window edge. it will give the illusion of taller, larger windowsproper height. too much puddling at the bottom though. (and these are drop cloths, so I would pick more of a sheer that just kisses the floor)
