Window Treatment Help
Looking for advice on window treatments. These corner windows are asymmetrical. I want to hang drapes from the second story windows on the green wall but I think I need to include all of the windows. The corner has thrown me off. Looking for suggestions and also replacing the 12 year old blinds once I make a decision.
1. Can I hang 4 panels on the green wall on each side of the single panels and just hang one panel on the cream wall window panels on the outside? The corner is too narrow for a panel and I think even a corner rod won't work.
We're in a remodel so nothing is finished. Don't mind my pictures.

Comments (17)Another source to look is jcp.com. I noticed they have 3 blackout drapes (one in regular home WT section and 2 in clearance) in the longer length at low prices--if the colors work for you (always the challenge). If you can't find the grommet style that might be easier to pull open/shut on a daily basis, you might consider ring clips since they slide easily. If the hem looks too challenging to alter on rod pocket styles, you can cut off the top and rehem that quite easily. IMHO they'll look best if you have them full length, rather than end at the window sill. It seems like that would really detract from the effect of the window. Even your inspiration pic, while really cute, seems to just miss the mark a bit on the curtains. They're ok I guess, but full-length would have been better--IMHO. You may have to get extra panels to give the fullness you want across the window when they're closed unless you go with custom widths. Good luck with your project!

Comments (9)For the sliders, I'd look into a remote controlled roll down shade mounted outside above the doors. You can get them in different degrees of opaqueness, to control the light, but they will not give full privacy at night unless you get opaque, which won't work in the daytime unless you want black out. Most people have some kinds of lights outside their doors, so if it's lit outside there is no 'black hole' effect for uncovered windows. On the corner windows, I'd want bottom up shades so they could be partially covering the bottom part of the windows for privacy (the only part anyone could see in), yet you can still see out over the top and get the light. They also make vertical cellular shades that stack to the side and pretty much disappear. Outdoor mounted roller shade:...See MoreWindow Treatment Help
Comments (9)I love the dressers where they are! But to your question: Dark wood slat blinds would be classic but if you want curtains, your room is so traditional there's nothing wrong with having one very wide panel that hangs to the far side of each window only. If it were me I'd do short curtains, just a bit down past the sill -- again because I think it more fits the tradition of the room. But some people go beserk if curtains don't touch the floor. Personally I would do a dark deep color, or something in a rich dark pattern of olives, rust, caramel, burgundy, chocolate... velvet Your room looks like a great place to sleep....See MoreWindow treatment help for dining room bay windows
Comments (21)I still stand with Jilly’s first example of cafe curtains that are placed about 3/4 of the way up the window. If they would be on rings you could very easily open them during the day and close them at night. I would want light whenever possible. Hopefully the neighbor cannot see in during the daytime....See Morejck910

last yearYou can easily do functioning drapery or stationary panels on the green wall. Functioning would need to be motorized or have a very long wand. Stationary would also be more cost effective as these would be custom. Either would would warm the space up and add some drama. You do not need to include the side windows. I would only 2 panels on the green wall stationary of functioning. If you really want to add in the side windows I would do 1 panel on each of those that draws to the left on the left window and the right on the right window. Again funtioning or not.

last yearYou can either have the rod turn the corner and have panels on each rod.
Or you can have separate rods and have a space in the corner

last yearBecause the ceilings are so tall I think it would look best to have drapes that break up the wall and soften the room. There are lots of different header styles and fabrics to choose from that would blend with the style of your home. I'd suggest calling the Budget Blinds that closest to you to have them show you fabric and shade options. If you're doing shades a motorized roller shade might be a good option.
