Asymmetrical window placement, low ceiling, small room. Need help
Comments (13)Olychick - I LOVE the screen idea! That is one I have not seen or thought of. I can't do it though, because the outlets behind the bed are needed for the mechanical beds, and like 1929spanish pointed out, I would loose valuable space at the foot of the bed. I still love the idea though, and will be looking to see if I can find a screen that I like, that would look good flat against the wall, maybe with cutouts for the outlets at the bottom. Missy-I have never even thought about using shutters. I'm not sure if I would like them since I can't mount them on the inside of the window frame. They would have to be mounted on the casing, and I'm not sure about that. But I will consider it cause I am being open minded to any and all suggestions. Oh, and no I can't put the bed on another wall. I could put the bed on the north wall, but then the closet door on the east wall would always be bumping into the nightstand. Annie, I tried putting our bed in the corner and it just didn't look right. My room is just to small for that. Good idea though. Soccermom - I love all the pictures, thank you. I have seen several of them before. The ones with the curtains going across the back of the bed is what I think I am going to shoot for. If I was doing beautiful custom drapes, then I would do them across the back wall. I am too cheap though, and I am a OCD clean freak, so I must have washable drapes. I am going to use cheap white cotton tie top drapes from pottery barn. I think those would look kind of cheesy going across the whole back wall. I plan on painting the walls a pale blue, or light gray, maybe a light blue green. Undecided on paint and such right now. Ideally, my room would be bigger and symmetric, but its not, so I must work with what I have and not let what I don't have drive me crazy. Junco - I think I'm leaning towards the half canopy. Like you said, it solves more than one problem. Thank you all for the ideas. I will definitely be trying a few things out....See MorePlacement of pulls on upper shaker-style doors? Help needed ASAP!
Comments (12)There is no one right answer to this. Our decision was influenced partly by me being short so we chose a placement that put them about as low on the door as would look nice. Our pull's "legs" (the part of the pull touching the cabinet - not sure what to call that so leg seems as good as anything) are round. We placed ours on uppers so that the bottom leg of the pull (i.e. the bottom part touching the door) was centered with respect to the bottom rail. On the lower cabinets with a door we did the same thing except with the top leg and rail instead of the bottom. The result is that the end of the pull is kind of centered on the diagonal running from the inner corner of the rail and stile to the outer corner of the door. Since your pull has a longer leg, that might make the bottom of the pull look a bit too close to the bottom of the door.so moving it a bit higher with the inner edge lined up with the inner edge of the rail as DCward suggests might be better....See MoreWindow Style and Placement on New Construction
Comments (6)I see no gain in looks by going casement. I would consider 2 Windows in the loft or at least maybe making the one bigger. the closet window looks a little large for a single casement, the opening may need to be smaller since most casements max out at 36" in width. I think 2 Windows in that opening would balance the proportion a little better. Most single Hungs are cheap Windows, I would consider another brand even if you are going casements. I think the 2 nod floor window in the middle would look better if it matched the one below, but I am no designer r architect....See MoreHelp Style My Livingroom - Furniture Placement
Comments (3)Below we have included some of our designs with fireplaces. Perhaps that will aid you in that aspect. We also think you might want to consider not placing the TV over the fireplace and instead placing the TV over a long console on a solid wall. Please see our images below for more decor suggestions....See MoreMark Bischak, Architect
