What colors are in the art pieces? I would just choose a color from there for the roman blind .

That's what I did with the current treatment but I feel like it clashes with the rest of the house. I didn't know if those pictures were neutral enough to bring indigo into the window treatment.

Love the idea of a ticking stripe. Beauty ✨

HU-187528210 would you bring some blue in even if my pictures don't have blue? I also like the ticking stripe idea.

Yes blue is fine! Love it 💙🤍

You do seem to keep your shades half way down with the slats open. I think it is going to be too heavy to keep a roman shade halfway down. Is that your intention? Your current valance looks great with your backsplash and pictures. Why not just remove the blinds and leave the valance?

I don't like the idea of blue in here. Everything else meshes so perfectly and it seems like it would be the odd one out.

What are your countertops made of? I love them.

Thank you so much and thank you HU-187528210 for taking the time to make that photo! Right now I took the blind down and just have the valance. I will take a photo and post soon. It does seem really really bright. That window is bigger than you think and very tall! Wish my valance was just a bit longer. Now that I see that photo with a blue shade, I'm feeling like it will clash a bit. Hmm. More thinking involved! Kendrah, my countertops are black pearled leather granite and we absolutely LOVE them! I love that they are not shiny.

I don’t think blue will work well. Ticking will not give you any pattern from a distance. I like the scale of what you removed. Have you considered a natural woven blind to bring in texture? It would tie in with the beiges and browns in the kitchen.

ptreckel I have come to the same conclusion. I am just now looking at natural woven blinds or I may just keep what I have - thank you!

Agree the textured solid neutral roman shades would work best especially if you do not close them often. If the window itself is too bright yet you want to see outside an awning or window glaze might be worth considering depending on the style of your house.

How are you likeing nothing there? You said you don't recall really needing them. I found nothing on my kitchen window to be very nice. The view is improved, the light. I vote for just walking away and leaving it open. Your pretty kitchen doesn't need more adornment.

Is there really a need for a window covering at your kitchen window? If not I would suggest leaving it uncovered as there are already a good number of colors and textures going on.

Thank you. I can leave it plain for awhile and see how I can handle the light. I'm just so used to something there! I do realize that I have a lot going on! I don't know if it would be too bright in the summer or not!

One thing leads to another... if I do leave it maybe I should change out that can light for a flush fixture?

I can't tell how close that tree is outside the window. Is it close enough that it give you shade relief during the summer when it has its leaves? If so, you may still be okay with nothing on the window.

And I just want to say that you may thinkk you have too much going on but I see a space that is really comfortable and pretty. You must really enjoy it.

Thank you! Yes we do. I’m no pro and it was/is a struggle for me!

A 5-10% solar roller shade can really help when the sun is streaming in, and they can be pretty unobtrusive whether down or up.
