Window Treatment Help: Does window HAVE to have two panels?
Comments (9)I think it's really just a matter of personal preference. For example, in my home office, I have a window that abutts a corner, much like the one that segbrown has pictured in his first photo he attached. And another window 24" away from that first window. Both windows are located behind a desk with a rolling chair. I created cornices for the windows, and b/c both windows already have wooden blinds on them I bought a pre-fab panel that I plan on cutting in half and using both of the halves on the outer sides of both windows. Functionally, having two panels on BOTH sides of EACH window would not work for me, as the drapes are likely to be caught in the wheels of the rolling chair. So, I just improvised- especially since the panels are going to be faux anyways. Again, its a matter of personal preference. What do YOU want? You're the one that's going to have to live there :)...See MoreWindow Treatment Help: Roman Shades on Triple Window
Comments (6)Ok, if you want a Roman Shade I would just do one to cover the whole bank of windows. One for the 3 window and one for the 2 window. How tall are your ceilings? Many people will mount the Roman shades higher than the window casings and allow the bottom of the Roman shade to cover just a small portion of the window, allowing for more light. You could do a wooden blind underneath for privacy and light control. In this case the Roman shade does not have to be operational but stationary and the blinds underneath will be what you use for privacy and light control. Bamboo blinds under a Roman shade are also a nice option....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 treatments help
Comments (1)I have no idea what to put on my windows. I'd like to keep the view in the daytime and have privacy at night. Any suggestions?...See MoreNorwood Architects
