That's what I thought about doing, thanks !!

Hi Amanda,

I like the idea of panels! How about creating panels in between, over the empty space? I would use short rods wit fun finials.

A couple more tips. Hang curtains at ceiling height. Looks like you have 8' ceilings so buy 95" panels. I also have 8' ceilings and sometimes 95" hangs just right, sometimes a tad too long. If they're too long you can have them hemmed or use heat bond tape and iron. Make sure to hang your brackets out to the side 6-10 inches (depends on curtain thickness) so the panels stack back on the wall and not the window. There's some great panels at affordable prices at Tuesday Morning and Home Goods. They have a nice selection of the longer lengths.

Great Ideas !! :)

what is your budget?

I really don't have one !!

These windows are lovely!

I would suggest to install one large rod at ceiling height. Panels on either end and in between each window would look wonderful, and would add balance. Looking at the color of the wall, I think the colors below you be a great match.

What room is this? Do you want a casual or more formal look? Can you send a photo with a floor to ceiling view of the windows and a couple of the rest of the room?

Here are some additional photos. Prob keep it casual. We are re-doing every room, it's just taking time. We bought this house a year ago. It's a ranch style with 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. Lots of things to do. :)

I agree with the other comments. Long panels from floor to ceiling will make those windows look so much taller! If you send me a picture looking straight on at the three windows, from floor to ceiling, I can draw the panels on there for you. I would add a rug to the center of the furniture grouping. Pick the rug first then the panel fabric. There are more options in fabric than rugs. The last thing you want to do is pick the paint to coordinate with the rug and panels. Again, there are a lot more choices in paint colors then the other 2.
