Looks current and in good shape. I'd stay transitional in my covering. I use 2" wood painted blinds and love them. You don't need material draped around window but if you do I'd keep the style transitional.

Sounds like a good candidate for no window coverings

OR a wood Valance if you really want something there. I had these made for my kitchen. 👌

Roman shades may be a little too formal in your kitchen...the bamboo blinds seem just the right level of casual..and since privacy is not needed you can get a little shade from sun with the blinds without blocking all the light

I would do nothing. Enjoy the view

I like it with no window treatment.

I removed mine and was pleasantly surprised at how much brighter my kitchen was. I never replaced them. I like yours without anything, too.

I like cafe curtains.

It depends on whether you need privacy or light control. Make your decisions based on those factors.

I like the softness, texture and color added by window treatments. Since you seem to have the brackets for a black rod up, consider long side panels in a medium weight fabric (print or solid or geometric pattern). They would work with your roll-up shades. You could have a simple valance, too, if desired, maybe just over the kitchen window. I would select a quiet floral pattern which includes a bit of black, white, cabinet color, the wall color and another color found in your counters.

we dont have a privacy issue! I was just thinking of something to soften the room

I like a window treatment, bare windows at night just look cold to me

Faux Roman Shades

Any thoughts on these? Yay or leave empty?

Yay to the colour, sheerness and pattern. But not as a ruffle. It looks a little dated. A sheer that covers the whole glass for night time is good. Some people may prefer it during the day too. 2.5 times fullness.

No, it just looks outdated. You can do better.

I agree with the idea of no window treatments. for softness bring in a tall plant for the corner. I would also consider lumbar pillows.for the chairs at the heads of the table. a low plant for the center of the table too

a 8x10 rug could also soften the room, table looks like it should be shifted slightly to the right to be centered under chandelier

heres a couple rugs

The valance you chose does go with the vibe of your kitchen..the sheerness is a softening feature...you need two panels so it will gather more,of course...

I would rather see a more structured valance if you must put something at your window. A rug won’t work in this space. Chairs and stools would constantly be hooking the edges. Sorry just the truth.

I suggest faux Ronan shades. Basically a balance that’s pleated on bottom. These are from Etsy.com in a variety of fabrics. If you sew they aren’t difficult to make or you may be able to hire someone in your area to make some.

Pretty room! Sounds like you're looking for visual warmth and texture that fabric provides in an area predominately containing hard surfaces. I too, would lay down a carpet (as someone mentioned earlier) in an outdoor fabric - so that it is practical for a high use area (they can be hosed off and are very kid friendly). Have fabric faux-roman blinds that coordinate in color, making sure that they starts right up at the cove moulding, rather than just above the window trim: this will draw your eye upwards and make the ceiling appear higher, give you the fabric look, without obscuring light & view. Good luck decorating!
