Curtains: same pattern on two nearby windows?

17 years ago

I have an open concept livingroom/kitchen/eat-in nook. I'm trying to decide whether I should use the same drapes for the living room windows as the kitchen nook (a sliding door)? Both sets of windows are on the same wall, though the nook is more recessed (by about 8 feet). Or can I use different drapes, in the same colour scheme? I'm worried about competing patterns.....

thoughts?
