Need help with window treatments.

13 years ago
I need some advice as to how to use this fabric. I am about one yard short of making 4 panels of the same length. One set is for the front window, one set is for the window behind my bed.

The width of my fabric is 53" wide, not including the selvedges.

I was thinking that I could use 26 1/2" wide panels behind the bed, filling the middle in with curtains that are the same color of my walls ( green). The window behind the bed is 63" wide including the outside of the trim. The fabric is cotton-heaver than you would make a blouse with--drapery weight. Would this look too skimpy? My other option would be to make one short because you really wouldn't see it, but that just seems wrong.

I could also make 2 of them about 12' shorter. On the front window I have craftsman-style moldings. I thought I could hang them starting just below where the top casing starts. I am making a cornice for the window behind the bed because the trim on this window doesn't match the trim on the other window. I have a QUIRKY house. Ha Ha! Would this option look weird? I have 9' high walls. I have to put blinds on this (front) window for privacy. They look like they have potential but they are drafty and I have to put plastic over them. Not doing any renovations at this time.

I know how a simple question on here can grow to a total room redo (I love that!) so here is a little bit of extra information.

I AM USING WHAT I HAVE. The furniture, fabric, and bedding stay. I am only going to purchase lamps, blinds, and a bit of décor.

Here are some pics of my window, fabric, and bedding. I have wood floors. The walls will be a shade of green to match the fabric and contrast with my pine furniture.

Thank you for looking!
