I think I would have panels at all windows, but all hung at the same level near the ceiling even though your windows look to be at different heights-jmho.

I agree with cyn427, but I love your windows the way they are now. Your room looks like it would feel like sleeping outside.

Thanks for the feedback! I will have to post a more recent picture. they will obstruct the view, but I thought they would make the room look more finished.... eh, maybe we don't need them. We do have a nice view (we are in Ohio too) and especially enjoy looking at the stars from our bed....

I'm not a fan of putting things in for decorative purposes only. Not that beauty isn't a purpose- it is. But it seems to me that with the view you have, blocking it with something that isn't needed destroys the beauty you can see naturally. I wouldn't add anything for strictly decorative purposes that covers that view. Especially if you can see stars...

It looks like you have the room to do what we did. We didn't want to block the view either and don't need privacy, but I wanted to soften the room with curtains. We're putting panels up that just barely cover the trim by extending the rods out from the windows enough that the curtains stack next to the window instead of in front of it. We just did that in our FR and I love it! We'll be working on the MB shortly. It's the best of both worlds!

BTW, you have a beautiful room!

Love the simplicity of your room, it looks so serene. I don't think it would spoil the look with panels, I like hoosiergirls suggestion. It would soften the look if that is your intent.

Thanks again... I will have to post some more recent pics. I'm trying to make the room look more 'finished', and all I could figure was that maybe it was the window treatments that were missing. I think I need art over the bed too. My in laws are in there right now, so it's a mess, but when they're gone i will post some more pics and solicit all y'alls feedback! Thank you!

What a lovely room and view.

I am offering gut impressions: I agree with putting panels on all windows and hanging them at the same height all the way around, but positioned so as not to block the views.

Buy rods long enough that you go far enough past the edge of your windows to gather the curtains without obstructing any of the window's view.

For thinner double-width, or thicker single-width, I tend to go about 15" past the edge of the trim.

That way you retain your view and get window pretties.

What hoosiergirl and demeron said.

Also, not that you asked, but I'd move that plaque over the bureau much lower than you have it now! And center them both... looks like maybe the bureau has to be moved to the left a few inches? Sorry for the extra 2 cents. Can't help myself.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm attaching more recent pics - the room is a lot different (and no worries - any feedback is appreciated). Do you think the plain RH linen drapes will be too boring? Do I need a pattern? I like the Sarah Richardson kind of look, so that would probably need more of a floral or striped drape I guess. I'm just nervous about spending a lot of money on drapes and then wanting to change my quilt / bedding and then feeling stuck. Any other ideas on finishing the room? I was thinking of grouping some baskets / trays above the headboard.... that side of the room looks a little pathetic. Thanks again for all your help!

I'm being selfish and bumping this in hopes of any other ideas... thank you in advance!

no new ideas from me. Just a vote for NO curtains, those windows are pretty just like they are :)

Beautiful, serene room...YES, simple, linen panels will be the perfect finishing touch!

I love your room and agree the linen panels might be would be very serene and calming. If you wanted a little more punch, I can also see something in a strong geometric print, say a chevron or diamond print in navy and white. Add or replace some throw pillows on the bed to tie in with that.

What a beautiful room! Another vote for the linen panels. They would allow you to change your bedding any time.

I like to change my bedding a lot, and our bedroom windows look out into the woods, so I've been stumped for what to do for window treatments for 3 years. I've recently decided to do linen panels, too. ;)

What color is your bedroom, by the way? I've been looking for a nice color I can use with just about any bedding color but so far, have found nothing. Your walls look perfect for that purpose! Thanks.

No panels, imo.

You will end up losing the simple, restful feeling, especially when you have to accommodate the panels at the left side of the large windows and the right side of the small window. Too much fabric for that corner.

What I would consider is taking the chair from that corner, and putting it down on the opposite end of the room, in the corner by the almost blank wall.

Move the tall plant stand into the corner where the chair was. Take the other two plants that are in baskets (one by the bed, one by the armoire) and put them in a grouping with the tall plant stand.

Get a floor lamp to place next to the chair on the wall side, along with a side table of some kind, perhaps something round. Once that is all in place you may need to move the framed art piece to a different spot in relation to the new corner arrangement there.

I would take the small pillow off the chair and use that on the bed in front center of the two beige pillows. Then add a new pillow to the chair, something in soft blue shades to pick up the bedding color.

Above the bed I was thinking that you could hang the black metal(?) wall piece that was in the earlier pix over the dresser. If you donâÂÂt have that, I would think about something else with movement and curves, perhaps another similar piece or a round mirror to pick up the design on the bedding and add some curves to balance all the rectangles in the room.

Wow! Thanks for all the feedback. I did go ahead and order the panels before I read the last post - I think I will always wonder if they look good, so I bought them and will return if they look too crowded for the space....

I love all the other suggestions. I will try doing some rearranging, and will post some pics when it's all done. Thanks so much for all the ideas!

You have a lovely room. Especially the last set of pics show how nice it is to have view and light from two different directions. I think the WTs need to be very simple so as not to detract from the view outside so the linen panels sound a good choice. Make sure to frame the windows and not obstruct that lovely view. Hang all at the same window height even though your windows have different heights and the narrow windows can just have one side panel on each outer edge. Do show the after pics.

kimberlyrkb, sorry, I didn't see your q. The color is BM bone white. I really like it, it's quite versatile. It has a warm undertone to it.

Thanks, Miller, I'll check out BM bone white. Can't wait to see your new curtains! :)

Here's some pictures with the curtains up. The color wasn't my first choice, but they are good enough (kind of tired of the whole curtain drama). I'm happy overall. Will look for some different art for over the bed, maybe at next year's Columbus Art Fair! Thanks again for all the help and feedback.

It looks very relaxing. Nicely done!

Love your room. IMO the throw at the end of the bed takes away from the serenity and calming effect of the room. The curtains panels truly look lovely without taking away from your view. Good job.

The panels are the perfect finishing touch! Good job!

Really like your final look. I also adore the throw on the chair. Looks really cozy.

Very nice! Also LOVE the new chandelier. Looks much better.

Love the panels and exactly how you hung them! Your bedroom is lovely!

Your new curtains add just the right finishing touches--a bit of softness without distracting from the beautiful view outside. Thanks for posting an update.

You have a really pretty cozy looking room. The panels add just enough warmth and really pull it all together. I do agree with an earlier post that says the comforter on the end of the bed takes away from your look. If you are like me you use it and it's easier to not have to take it off and on.

So beautiful. I love it. My only suggestion would be to do one plant in the corner instead of the two.

Great choice! Love your room.

Thanks for all the kind comments! I appreciate it! I feel pretty grown up, it's the first time I've had curtains since living in my parent's house, which has been 20 years.... yes, I do use that blue duvet every night, the quilt isn't enough to keep us warm by itself at night. So, I like to keep it handy. Am thinking of getting a warmer down comforter, that one is now about about 12 years old and is the synthetic down.

Love it! What color paint is that? Where did you end up getting the panels?

just right! i like the softness they add to the room.

What a lovely, peaceful room! Great job!
