Tricky windows need new window treatments
Does anyone have any recommendations for window treatments for this space? I'm thinking either roller shades of some sort and possibly panels on the far right and left side for decoration.
The windows are pretty narrow (27 inches including the molding) so the panes are only 22" and very long (6'). The wall space between the windows is about 7.5". The total length of that window area is about 130".
Not sure if it matters but the wall color is Manchester Tan. I'm thinking of trying to stay close to the wall color to keep the look fairly neutral and flexible for when we change the furniture. Note, we will be changing the furniture and decorating in this room in the next couple of years to something more transitional in style and will be neutral in color. I know a little backwards in order but that is due to some other issues.
Would love to hear some ideas.

I love my new Window/Window Treatments
Comments (21)Thanks, again. LOL, yes, those little people that live here. You see, the window doesn't move and talk back! I did just now get back in commission with my camera and laptop so I took a few of little red out of the bath this morning. She is just getting over being sick. The other two are from their b'day party which they had together. I promise more to come! Linda - I don't think I would want these for a kitchen. Just not practical I think. I think the only colors were linen and this yellow/gold. Sally - My next couch will have no removable cushions:)...See MoreHelp with tricky Master window treatments! long w/Photos
Comments (5)thanks for the responses! ratherbesewing, i like the idea of roman shades, although the word "custom" makes me nervous--that sounds expensive!! would you leave the little windows with nothing over the shades? would that look funny/unbalanced if there are panels on the big window and door? sujafr, i wish i could see a photo of your DD's room with the shutters! i wonder if they'd be room darkening enough? also i wonder how they attach? there is no room to mount them inside. kristinekr, thank you for the bathroom compliments! we LOVE how it turned out! now we have the bug to do the rest of the house. :) I didn't think of the grommets without sheers, because I need *something* behind the curtains when i pull them aside so i don't see the neighbors house (or they don't see me). what would you suggest if not sheers? do you think it would look ok to have panels on the one window and not the others? i don't think i can do an inside mount because there's only 3/4-inch of space for the hardware. i'll have to look into it.

Comments (8)The more shades the more options you have for light/privacy control. I would recommend 4. Woven woods do create a lot of stack when up. So you lose much of your window. EcoSmart Cellular Shades, are energy efficient, low profile(when not in use, you BARELY see them) Below are shades paired with drapery, which can soften the look. The drapery can be stationary panels instead of full operational drapery, which could be difficult with your sofa....See MoreTricky situation with trim and window covering (and mixed treatments)
Comments (5)Look at Vertiglide by Hunter Douglass. https://www.hunterdouglas.com/operating-systems/manual/vertiglide We used one panel on our master bedroom slider and it stacks back neatly on the side of the fixed slider door. Comes in blackout fabric. You can do matching duette shades on the windows. We have used Hunter Douglas in 3 houses over the years and have been happy with their products....See More

2 months agoI'm sorry but I can't take the cornice down yet - too hard to take down/put back up. Behind it, there are 4 sets of sheer covered vertical blinds. All will be coming down when we do the project.
As far as what we need for window coverings, it is mostly decorative and then for some moderate amount of privacy. Sun is not an issue as the windows face north. I wonder if something like this would work but not sure with the windows and space between them being so narrow.
I'm ok with doing only roller shades or roman shades but like the panels to soften things up and makes it a little dressier since this is our living room not family room.

And unlike blinds, if they are thin enought then still provide a view to the outside when closed.
