Kitchen/family room window treatments
Comments (3)I think window treatments fall into two categories: The Practical: you have too much sun and need some shade because of the glare. You need privacy. The Decorative: many people use window treatments sort of like eyebrow pencil, or putting a scarf on an outfit--it finishes the look. Also, it can be used to add color and/or texture. It sounds like you are more in the "decorative" category. So, if you don't feel it would add to your kitchen in any way, I'd skip it. Plenty of kitchens don't have window treatments and they are beautiful without them....See MoreWindow Treatment Ideas for Family Room
Comments (24)Thanks for clarifying the use of the space. It originally sounded like a room for the kids mostly. I think it is nice that your DH likes to be involved. Plaids and checks are hardly just country, but if that is his thought and he is immovable on that, so be it. LOL I was confused by your comment about the swirly wall areas not being able to be painted. They are painted the ceiling color, aren't they? No special maintenance to paint them another color, and I really think it would make the room feel more spacious if they were the wall color. I like the changes you have made - the room feels so much brighter....See MoreWindow treatments in Kitchen and Family Room
Comments (8)First question is do you want window treatments for decoration? light control? and/or privacy? First blush, I would use coordinating but not matching fabrics on the slider and the bay window and I wouldn't treat the door at all. If I had to treat the door, I'd look at the double shirred or the encased blinds. On the slider, if I needed complete privacy, I would put a large valance, off centered, across the top and stack full length drape panel to one side only so that they will stack back completely onto the wall during the daytime and shut all the way at night. On the bay window, you have the option of treating the front of the window only, or treating the windows themselves in an angled fashion. I did the latter with my bay window....See MoreFamily Room Lighting & Window treatment help
Comments (13)Thanks for your comment. We used a Walter Smith designer when selecting the couch. I too think it is a bit big for the space, but we just purchased it so we will have it for many years and will need to make it work. I had never heard the rug needed to be the length of the couch. I may relocate the rug to the dining room which we just added wood flooring, and then get a new rug for the family room....See MoreIlove MyLife
