Suggestions for blinds/window coverings in Kitchen/Family room
Comments (7)I really like 2" wood blinds, too. We have them in the upper bedrooms that face the back of the house (to save money), and they look great. I do love the look of bamboo and woven wood shades. You can get them with a blackout liner so they don't let in as much light. I had considered them but didn't get them because the "all or nothing" aspect(you can only raise or lower). It doesn't sound like that's an issue for you, though, since privacy is not an issue....See MoreNeed window treatment suggestions for 5-part bay window, please
Comments (14)I like the idea of using drapes and thanks for the pic @valinsv and I will probably be stealing your bay window look with the candles etc. it looks great. Our living room is tiny and I have noticed that since I removed the vertical blinds, the room feels so much bigger than before, which is why I wanted to go with something mounted inside the window. Do you guys think that using the drapes will make the room feel small again, or will using the inside mount blinds, make it even worse? The drapes across the window will certainly make my life a whole lot easier. Someone had also mentioned traverse rods which I had never heard of. I have looked into them, but I am not sure if it is a solution I would like since it seems as though I will have to use the little hooks on my blinds. Has anyone ever used them, and if so any thoughts? Thanks for the tip on the handles, I will look for them the next time I am at Lowes. Thanks!...See Morekitchen window covering suggestion please?
Comments (12)Haha, no kitchen nudity and I have been living with it just like this since moving here in late January. Right behind that open fence is our neighbor - this is our side yard. That wouldn't be so bad, but they run a horse boarding operation so there are actually alot of people from about 10am-8pm wandering around just the other side of that semi-open fence. Longer term, a beautifully dense evergreen hedge is going up against that fence, but for now I want a bit of privacy since sometimes, I want to be able to dance and sing along with the radio while I am cooking dinner without an actual audience, the imaginary one in my head is enough. :) I really don't like ruffly curtains and valances. I do like a more structured cornice, so would consider something like that over a blind or shade of some kind. I started out thinking wooden blinds but just hit me it would almost look like that heavy look of lots of wood cabinets. I thought about curtains, or open cell/pleated type shades or blinds, but this is a kitchen and I want something that can handle the occasional water splash. I just can't get my mind around putting in cafe type curtains either... so i keep coming back to the wood or bamboo option. Thanks for the tip on the photobucket. Other boards I frequent you post the img tag, not the html. I can't figure out how to edit posts in this forum so I couldn;t go back and fix it!...See Morewindow covering suggestions
Comments (1)Most folks don't vent via hoppers so I would just do some inside jamb mounted shades and call it a day....See MoreAngel 18432
