Curtains/ Draperies are the best bet for a beautiful home. Cellular shades are for dorm rooms and motels. Your room is very large which tells me you have a nice home that deserves draperies. Have the controls on the side of the window easiest for you to reach. By the picture it would seem left side controls would be best. If shades are absolutely desired then for a more upscale look try Reveal by Hunter Douglas or Vision Power Blinds.

You don't need sheers and cellular shades. One is privacy, the pther can be decorative side panels and stationary. Cell shades can have a cord right or left, and even cordless with NO power. Don't create more expense if you don't need it. Or look at Nantucket shades by Hunter Douglas, and you'll have "finish", a sheer effect, privacy, translucent light, a the ability to make them all "disappear." Add panels if you like, but not necessary, really.

Stationary panels floor to ceiling on each end of the window with shades would be my choice. Spending less on the shades will allow you to replace your tiny rug with one that is properly sized to anchor the sectional. The rug should be pulled under the front 1/3 of the seating portions and therefore completely under the chaise section. It should extend past the two ends of the sofa by a foot or more. You can tape this out on the floor with painter's tape to judge the correct size you need.

It depends on what's outside your window. If you have neighbors or street views, then I like top-down bottom-up cellular blinds, which are unobtrusive and let light in while giving you some privacy. If it's just about dressing the windows, then probably curtains or sheers are better; if you need light control, then curtains are unlikely to give you enough options.

Thanks everyone for your advice... we ordered the shades last night but I'm thinking about canceling the order! Idk!!

@ decoenthusiaste, thanks for the feedback. So are you saying with my honeycomb Cellular shades and stationary panel curtains would be OK? Do you think it would be too much? Or should I get a cheaper shade that goes over both windows that I can open on the left-hand side of my couch so I don't have to bend over to open the shades. Which would you do? Should I go less expensive would it make my room look less modern if I did one big blind over the two windows behind the curtain? I was wondering about my rug I didn't know what size would be proper

Also we only have these 4 windows to cover so The though of buying these even though expensive is something we could do but if you think another way less cheaper would look just as good I might go that way and can use the money other ways .... we have another bathroom we need to Remoldel

Thanks decoenthusiaste that would have saved me a lot of money but my husband likes the look of seeing the wood trim between the windows... so I'm going to go with remote cellular blinds for behind the couch. Now to buy a bigger rug! Haha

Won't he see the wood when they're open?

Trib all men love wood...

Yes and I've made many compromises, I can tell you!

Yes they do! Lol ... I just didn't know how 1 big shade would look behind my couch and I have a sunroom that has a big picture window that has this same shade that in the picture

I have the cellular shades in some rooms and they are great for privacy and insulation. One positive is they practically disappear when open. They would look nice with some stationary panels flanking them.

What you you do to this room? We are talking down the popcorn Ceiling , putting in reset light and wood floor .. remove the white cabinets

Angie, I suggest you start a new thread so you get people who can help on this dilemma. I was hoping you would post an after picture of your windows.

Larger rug. Simple decorative side-panel drapes on outside of each set of two windows.

At Smith&Noble we love layering. A motorized cellular shade would provide the ease of use and functionality you need while decorative panels or fabric cornices add a decorative touch.

Decoenthusiaste - you posted a large window with woven shades!!! Ive been searching for 120” wide wovens like what you showed and. I cant find anywhere!! Can you lmk who made yours? Thanks!
