Window solutions for living room

last modified: last year

I have these couches and this color paint in my living room. Not sure which style window solutions to get and what color that should be?

i have white bookcases in the space too, so would white curtains look good? Or maybe a lighter beige curtains, a bit lighter than the paint?

Also, are you looking for window treatments for privacy or just light control? Is there a view worth looking at from them? What style are your furnishings?

Triple window or multiple single windows living room?

@calidesign - F in that drawing is the transom window and possibly where the TV would be. The other spot would be in the top left hand corner - undecided for now. The reason we went with a transom and not tall windows on this wall, is that it faces our driveway and the neighbor's house will be within 40' of the side of the house. We don't particularly want to look out at their house/driveway. As for the french doors, we have access to our deck to the right of the kitchen wall. That's where our rear porch is and basement stairs. Also, the walkway from driveway to back yard is "above" (in the drawing) the back window D and the garage just beyond that. Extremely crude depiction.

This is a unique, beautiful layout, but - Holy Cow - there's way too much going on. Simplify. As others suggest, raise the living room floor and get rid of the step down and railing. It would combine the entry and living room and really open up the space. It would be safer, too, because it's easy to forget situations where there's one or two steps, especially for guests. Paint the brick. Easier and cheaper than drywall and would retain the interesting texture. Lighter color railings would help. The hillbilly front door has got to go.

Hunter Douglas makes a couple different shade product lines that come in co-ordinating fabrics/colors in both a horizontal and vertical version. These vertical options are not going to be the traditional PVC clanky, vertical blinds most are used to. You can get soft shades like Duette® Honeycombs, Skyline® Gliding Panels, or Luminette® Privacy Sheers. All these vertical products come in a horizontal version as well. Check out more at Hunter Douglas.

Thanks for your help! I just edited my post and added a pic of the area so you can see what the windows look like. No view -looking for window treatments for privacy and light filtering. The style of my furnishings are the couches that I included in my post, white bookshelves against the big wall to the right of the doors, a floor rug, and I'm still looking for a coffee table. Not a big space and no major furnishings.

Just trying to figure out the window treatment type and color, because it will really make a big difference to the room. I want something cozy and warm that will match the walls and couches and white bookshelves.

Thank you!

so you got the blue/gray sofas and keeping the walls the beige? are you up for painting the walls ?

i ask because your color sofa would look better w/this type of surrounding/colors

if you must keep wall color/sofa color, try bringing in some natural and warmer elements like shown here. it will bridge the gray and the beige (shown w/plantation white shutters)

if you're doing a tv in there, try getting a walnut console (this one is vintage) and mount the tv above. warmer elements like the leather pouf, wood chairs and some art/greenery really help.

Window ideas:

Are those metal windows? can you spray the metal portion a white?

what about doing some trim around the windows?

This one looks great.

so much better looking

maybe a woven wood shade like these?

a flat, simple trim like shown here is perfect, woven wood shades.

you could also put in a casing on the inside of the window. you see how clean it looks w/the painted casing on the inside too?

woven woods w/a natural linen color curatin. hang the rod higher, toward ceiling.

you could bring in plain white drapes too.

hard to say w/o knowing if you're getting a rug, or any other patterns or colors

can you DIY?
