Not sure what blinds to get
Comments (0)Hi, I'd like to know what type of blinds would be best for this situation. I use my computer by the patio window in the dining room, where I have sheer curtains. When it is sunny outside, the glare from the sun still gets through and makes it uncomfortable for me to use the computer. I'm thinking about putting blinds up on the window plus keeping the sheer curtains on. What type of blind would be best for the situation? Would solar shades block the glare? I don't know if I want complete blackout, but if that's the only solution, I would do that. Thank you....See MoreWhat type of curtains/blinds/shades can I use here, and here and here?
Comments (10)Wow, that was a harsh response. Does it matter who designed/built this house? Keep in mind this is someone's home and by the few pictures shown I'm betting their dream home. mjammjam since window treatments are quite expensive and should be thought out, I'd go to Lowe's/Home Depot and grab the temporary paper shades for the windows where you need the most privacy. It will buy you some time while you figure this out. I think in your dining room you could still use curtains but the rod would have to be centered in that small strip of wall between moldings. You'd want the curtains hug wide to the sides so that when open they just meet the side moldings so your trim shows. I'm assuming you don't want to cover it up. But certainly you could use decorative Roman shades - that would be lovely, too. Your slider is very tricky and I think any type of shade is going to be problematic from a convenience standpoint. What comes to my mind is a curtain (would have to be hung from the ceiling I believe) that draws to the right over the stationary part of the door. When fully open it will still cover some of that glass but I can't see a way to avoid that. Then something simple with a slim profile hung as an inset mount on the side windows - it appears there is room for something like a cellular. Not sure if silhouettes have a slim enough profile. Same with your LR windows. Not sure what the last picture is about. Think this through - if you don't have furniture yet, whatever you choose for your windows will drive what you do there especially if you choose fabric roman shades or curtains with color and pattern....See MoreWhat type of curtains/blinds?

Comments (4)I'm not a pro, so don't listen to me, but your room is more traditional than modern, so, if I could afford it, I would completely frame in the window (i.e. cover the sheet rock) and paint the trim (paint grade trim might be less expensive). I would eliminate the blinds and use the drapes for privacy and sunlight control. I'd have to try going above the transom with drapes. And I'd put drapes on both sides of the windows beside the fireplace....See MoreWhat type of blinds/shades are best for louvered windows?
Comments (2)Do you mean jalousies? I'd use curtain panels mounted on rings and rods. Purely decorative, since you can't see through jalousies. If you don't want curtains, then leave them bare. You might post a photo or two....See MoreRelated Professionals
