What type of window treatments would work best for oval window?
I'm redoing my living room and am wondering what to do with the large window that faces the street. It's not a busy street so total privacy isn't an issue. I also like letting lots of the natural light through at all times so not sure what makes the most sense. I'm just thinking about what might looks nice and add a nice touch to the room. Thoughts? Here are pics....

Tips needed...what window treatments would work in this room?
Comments (4)Powermuffin, thanks for the picture. I'm here on a search for pictures of cafes hung inside the frames, preferably 3/4 on double-hungs--but I didn't expect to get that lucky. Your windows look wonderful, and I think you've made up my mind to hang my summer curtains above the center to block more sun while still showing off the sky. We open our windows as much as possible, so I'll push the lower windows up to where their tops want to stop easily and hang the rods there. Nursekathleen, when I read your questions, Powermuffin's look was what jumped to my mind for setting off your wonderful old wood frames and simple and old-fashioned to suit your cottage. Of course, you probably noticed I really like that look. :)...See MoreWhat type of window treatment would you do for this doorwall?
Comments (6)You have a lovely view and I think your idea of panels sounds great if you want to leave all that wonderful light. I'm Nana to two little ones and had two daughters--so I've seen this suggestion actually work---at least for food. We had the rule that you only eat sitting down at the table, bar, or highchair. Then hands were cleaned immediately after eating before they're allowed to wander through the house. So--no food gets on curtains. Now, :~) that doesn't take care of teething slobbery fingers on them or the windows, but it does cut down on the big stuff. And when they're helping you "cook", keep a damp cloth beside you so that when they've sampled and get down, you can wipe before they wander. Good luck and enjoy your inviting home!...See MoreWindow treatments for a NON window treatment type girl
Comments (14)We are not window treatment people either, but have started to add some as we've reno'd/decorated a few of the rooms in our house; two bathrooms and our office. They really do help to finish off a room. That said, we're not covering our kitchen bow window, or the DR bow window, though I might consider something for the DR window at some point--just for the window panes themselves, not to cover the whole bow-unit. We used Hunter Douglas' Designer Screen Shades in the Roman Shade style (ours are mounted inside the frames becuase of our window style/frame depth). The shades are very clean-lined and range in sheerness. With the sheerer weaves/fabrics, you can see outside with them down and they allow a lot of light in....See MoreWhat type of window treatments are best for our new porch
Comments (2)Hunter Douglas offers a Designer Screen Patio Shade specifically meant for spaces like this. They are a form of a roller shade are work really well in this type of opening. They will require drilling into the posts/fascia but if you find a local dealer in your area, they can make sure things are mounted properly. Designer Screen Shades...See MoreAng Ves
