I had the same thing happen to me. I hope you can find some matching ones but if you cannot find matching ones, get something compatible, and matching the best you can. Do not intersperse them. Put them on both ends and have the rest for all the center area. Mixing unmatched ones up, will look mixed up and jumbled. This might work for your situation depending on what your drapes (solid or print?) and windows look like.

I agree that none of the above is the answer. The trellises all seem too clean and too geometric to work with the rug, and the ikat is ....I'm not sure, maybe too large. Plus none of the sample colors seem to work well with the carpet either. They seem to provide too much contrast. About the curtains, I think you need them. The room has a definite formal look, and to my eyes, the window as it is now looks unfinished, but not in an intentional way. What you do with the window might depend on how you feel about pattern. If you want to limit patterns to the carpet and chairs, then one possibility might be curtains in as close to the color of wall as possible. If you want more pattern, then how about the colors in the carpet? I don't think white, ivory, or cream curtains would work. I think they would give the effect of three walls in that interesting gray (?) color and then one big white wall. That would be too modern for your look. I also think you do need curtains rather than a valence or swag. Reasoning? There is a large expanse of white blind, and the blinds look contemporary. If there were an array of other contemporary elements in the room, I think they'd work, but there is a soothing "stillness" that comes from your furniture, accessories, and color choices. So the blinds look jarring and out of place. I think they need the softening effect of full-length curtains. Sigh. It's always so much easier to give a critique of other people's spaces than to finish any of the rooms here!

Does anyone have experience with Ballard Design drapes? I would be especially interested if you used them for fabrication with fabric that you provided. I'm trying to get a feel for overall quality. Also, did you price out similar work with a local custom shop? I LOVE traditional drapes, but they are sooooo expensive to do in a custom fabric. Any advice in general would be greatly appreciated! I can sew, but to do a pinch/box pleat, line, weight and trim a full set of curtains is above my skill level. Thanks!!

Well, you're right. The French doors are so close to the wall on one side and have that awkward window on the other. It seems like an impossible challenge, and making more of those floral drapes is not within my budget anyway. I was thinking of just putting the drapes on the dining room window and calling it a day. If you have suggestions about what might look better, I'm all ears.
