Should I just go naked? Need window treatment help!
Comments (34)Rebeccamom, there are so many people with the same dilemma, we should start a "show me your kitchen window" thread. I also have a finished kitchen with a naked window. While these are my backyard neighbors, I also live in New England and the window feels stark when the leaves come down. I just purchased Levolor cellular white blinds which they custom cut at the store and are really reasonable. It is still in the box and awaiting DH's next day off. I thought it would still give me the naked look, but could pull it down on those cold evenings that have already started. I saw some custom roman shades online at jcpenny, but I need to call to find out if I can get fabric samples....See MoreWhat should I do for window treatments?
Comments (3)I would do a pair of fixed panels on each windows. I too would wrap the rod around the room if you can. It can be tricky with the angled walls. If you don’t want to wrap the rod then I would do a pair of fixed panels on the center window and a single panel on the side windows. Sides closest to the room....See MoreHelp!

Comments (7)If you continue the line of the curved, pulled-back curtain up to the ceiling, I think it does make the room look taller. I'm not sure how you would attach the curtain along the sloped ceiling, but I have seen it done. You could then experiment with exactly where to tie the curtain back; if you hung full length drapery, you could tie it back lower. In all cases, however, you need to be certain that curtain will not come too close to the fireplace. For that reason, shades may be a safer choice....See MoreWindow Treatments for High, Short Corner Windows in Bedroom
Comments (14)I love Roman shades but something to think about in your situation is how much of the window will be blocked when the shades are “up”. It may be as much as half the window. That may or may not matter to you. The first picture below is of Roman shades in my bedroom in the up position, which blocks about half the window. The height of the window from trim to trim is 18”. This isn’t too much of an issue since we don’t spend time in this room during the day. Another option that hasn’t been mentioned are roller shades. The second and third photos are of roller shades in my home office. Note that I intentionally picked material that was light filtering, not light blocking, given the location. They make them in light blocking material as well which would be better for a bedroom. The valence at the top is only 4”; blocking less of the 18” tall window. The roller shades may or may not go well with your decor/home style. We have these in most rooms of our mid-century ranch and they wofk great....See Morebichonbabe
