Curtain suggestion
Trying to put a curtain over this west facing arch door, which gets the foyer hot in the summer. The wall is pearl white. The door trim is black iron. The foyer wall facing the door has silver metal wall art on it. Plan to put green moss artwork onto the wall next to the stairs. What color of curtains works? floor to ceiling is just under 120 inch. Ideally, I would hang the curtains from close to the ceiling, but not sure I like the look of fabric draping onto the floor. The top of the arch to the floor is 100 inches. The shorter length 108 inch curtains would start somewhere in the middle between the ceiling and the top of the arch door. Does that lower the feel of the ceiling? Do I use a black metal iron rod to match the door trim even if the grommet is nickel? When the curtains are open, does it look odd to have a big black rod on top, which destroys the beauty of the arch? Or should I get a white rod, which blends into the white wall? But white rods tend to look plasticky. Any other smart glass door covering ideas besides curtains to preserve the beauty of the arch? Thx a million for your input!

Can you get a pic from further back so we can see the ceiling?
Are you in Texas? I think I see a cedar stave fence out there. :) (Or maybe iron, and I need to have my eyes checked!)Related Discussions

Comments (8)Try removing the throw pillows for a week to see if they are really needed. If you do actually use them, try some reddish pillow covers from the reddish color in the rug....See MoreCurtain suggestions
Comments (2)I would want to add some color, so I see turquoise, I think, so I'd get that color. Could be solid but a print would be nice, maybe ivory and turquoise. While I prefer cotton or a cotton/poly blend, if you're getting readymades, you may not have much of a choice of fabrics....See MoreLamp, Rug, and curtain suggestions requested
Comments (20)@decoenthusiaste we‘d love to get a roman or cellular (1/2 up, 1/2 down) shade on that window but it’s 140 inches so every company that we spoke to (Costco, select blinds, 3 day blinds) told us no can do… The only option its to buy 2 or shades instead of one. 😌 Even with roman shades, this particular bedroom would still need need some sheers because this room gets a ton of sunlight in the morning and you can see directly into it from the street at all times. 😌😌...See Morecurtain suggestions for a freshly painted wall
