I did not see your fabric sample? I would install your new window treatment above the smaller windows, not below. You have a very traditional room, but you might consider a different treatment. I have not done any swags and jabot combinations for quite some time. Do you plan to leave the sheers? Do you need the privacy?

I, too, would urge you to do something more up to date than swags and jabots. I would use roman shades mounted inside the three windows. Then I would add stationary drapery panels at the ends, mounted on individual 1" iron rods just below the ceiling.

Alternately, you could use Silhouette shades on the 3 windows and have 4 slim stationary panels mounted on a single 1" iron rod mounted just below the ceiling.

I second the single rod mounted midway between the top windows and the ceiling, with long drapery panels, and inside mounted shades for privacy in each individual window. Swags and jabots are a really dated look.
I you are really set on doing them though, I imagine that they would be pole mounted with 3 swags overlapping, the 2 outer swags smaller and the large center swag overlapping the outer ones.

Julie, would you do 2 panels or 4? I have great respect for those of you who specialize in window treatments.

Silk panels would be awesome , I would skip on jabots and swags so dated.

I think she can just do two panels,1.5 widths each, with the rod extended past the window frame several inches so that the other side of the panel just covers the frame.

Carolyn,
I think if you were going to do inside mount shades, I would do 4 panels each of 1.5 width...if nothing by way of shades, I would do 2 x 2 width panels on each side of the window.

Thanks, Julie!

So sorry that the fabric sample did not show up. Here it is. Okay after reading the comments I guess I am not quite understanding the 1.5 width. We do have blinds mounted inside the windows and do need some kind of shades or blinds in them, but not blackout. Does anyone have any pictures of exactly what you all are talking about, please. I am so glad that I asked your opinions as I do not want to do anything too outdated.

JMittman Designs, No I do not need to leave the sheers up they are just there for now. We recently moved in and I just put them up to soften that area and cover the window until I got something permanent up.

I think we can suggest some more updated fabrics to go with the updated styling we're suggesting for you. We'll pull you kicking and screaming into the 21st C. :) Or will you come willingly? But first we'll need to know more about what colors you have closeby that need to be taken into consideration.

When we mention 1.5 widths we're talking about one and a half widths of fabric per panel. Most fabrics we use come in 54" widths, The workroom would seam together one and a half of the 54" goods to make a fuller panel than just a single width would be, but not as wide as a double width would be.

Carolyn Albert-Kinci Design, LOL I go willingly to the 21st.C I am sometimes too thrifty and happen to have this fabric on hand but lead on!! The wall and area to the right of these windows is a pale green, a Porter paint called Hint of Mint. I was standing in the doorway to the kitchen which is mostly white cabinets with pale blue (since the counter tops and backsplash are a dark blue, which we are going to be changing out in the future) The floors are a medium tone wood laminate. Thank you so very very much for all your help.

Bravo, JR TX! Now that we have you here in the 21st C, may I suggest a solid colored fabric to you??
Would that be too radical? I'm thinking a mint green linen-look to go with your paint, or an off white linen-look to go with anything you might want to mix it with in the future? Or a stripe of off white and mint green? No more navy blue for you!

We need to hear from the drapery experts on what they would prefer to see.

Yes I'm all for matching drapes to the wall color if you don't want them screaming at you...a shade darker or lighter than the wall is good, or off white is a safe choice. If you wanted to add a little interest to them, a flat tape trim on the leading edges is nice.
These days drapes don't make THE statement in the room anymore. Most of what I do is make a nice fabric look good and hang well. Not so much "dressmaker" details anymore. Simple is better, unless you feel you have a subtle fabric pattern in mind.
The dark blue is too stark and "little house on the prairie". It will over power the room.

It is always nice to make the table and the food or flowers on it, the centerpiece of the room.

We are presuming you are a good cook, JR!

I have to agree with Carolyn on the fabric choice. I think you could do much better. As mentioned a nice linen solid would be pretty You could band the leading edge with an accent color. Two widths on each side as suggested by Julie would give you very full luxurious curtains. One and half as I suggested would still look nice, just not as full. When you do side panels, which is what we are suggesting, the goal is to give the appearance that the curtains can close completely, even if they do not. Many times people make the mistake of putting a single panel on each side and it just looks way to skimpy.

Carolyn Albert-Kinci Design Not to brag but I have been told I am a good cook and have done some catering.

Well then maybe you're in my part of Texas and will invite me over! I figure JR TX must be a Texan! And, hey, my friends just call me Carolyn.

Carolyn, can I just come and sit at your knee and absorb? Not so sure I'm Texan material...

Ironwood, I'm not sure I'm strong enough to hold you on my knee, but right now I'd sure like you to take a look at this dilemma, pretty please: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/refacing-a-house-to-improve-curb-appeal-dsvw-vd~347357

I agree with the decorative rod and and smaller panels to frame each window. I would go with silhouettes in the 3 smaller windows to really soften the space and keep it formal looking but more up to date.
