I haven't found them in these widths 94".

What do you think of blinds vs curtains for bedrooms with these type windows?

I was about to order 95" long curtains for the bedrooms then realized that we might need to place furniture underneath. Maybe we need to stick with blinds after all... I just love the softness of sheers with panels over top.

No idea where my text went! We have the same windows in our home. We used top down bottom up in the back of the house and silhouette style blinds in the front of the house and the bedrooms. Finished the main living areas with pleated sheers. You can get any size blind you need if you go custom, even at Lowes. Not a great pic, but you aren't getting much feedback, so I decided to go ahead and post.

Even if you can find a blind big enough for the whole window, I can't imagine it would be easy to open and close. Splitting it in two seems weird since the window is split into three.

I think I'd do short curtains, just below the sill in the bedrooms. In the living room, maybe lightweight curtains that go to the floor?

We used the silhouette type blinds in this room- the filtered light is nice.

Top up bottom down pleated shade. The blind is 95.5"

I love my bamboo Roman shades!

Are you going to be opening your windows for ventilation? We have this kind of windows and like to open them. Curtains work much better for that than blinds. I've used blinds and curtains separately and in combination. You are going to have light and bright rooms. That is a very good thing to me.

Nice home.

I'd plan to lengthen the windows in the living room, and any other rooms without privacy issues, probably keeping the same width in your case depending on whatever it would depend on. We never pulled permits for these very quick, minor alterations either since there were no structural issues.

Interestingly, we found that a custom picture window cost a fraction for one "custom" size than for others that were a bit smaller or bigger. Happily, that one "custom" order was a standard width that fit our "hole." So shopping possibilities can make a real difference. That ridiculously inexpensive window today sweeps close to the floor to provide beautiful seated views down to an estuary, with the original openable windows on the other 3 walls for cross-breezes.

We've enlarged windows in three homes now, and they've all been very economical improvements with huge payoffs. In fact, no other improvements we did could match simple window enlargements for upgrading the quality and appeal of our homes.

Yes we need to open the windows a lot there is no A/C (coastal town, ocean breezes!). We can't have blinds with cords of any sort due to toddler safety and as it turns out there are no cordless blind options I can find in 93" and greater widths. So curtains it is! Good point about the air flow, too!

I like a double rod with sheers underneath (there are neighbors behind) and room darkening on top for the bedrooms. Now the question is to have them be just the height of the windows (i.e. Hang rod just over window top and have curtain cone to sill) or visually lengthen by hanging the rods at the ceiling and having curtains go to the floor. I generally prefer that look and will do that in the living room (just sheers) but in the bedrooms we may need to place furniture under the windows, in which case shorter curtains would make sense, but may look odd?

hamamalis, we just replaced these windows with dual pane low e in the same size (after photos taken). The living room windows face the street this is a city house so no sweeping views here! Reframing walls is very expensive here due to labor costs so enlarging the windows didn't seem worth it. I would have added a window to the right of the fireplace to balance things, but the cost was high. We have a large glass wall and patio slider in the dining area which leads to our side yard, so that's our best view/ outdoor interaction. Eventually we may add a French door to the backyard at the end of the hallway which currently terminates in a linen closet - for more light and connection with the backyard.

Access to the garden is so important, and you have it. And your windows actually open for breezes. Didn't even touch that huge one, but we're huge breeze and bird song fans. :)

You're really basically on the same track I'd be with those windows, sheers and all. :) I love the elegant, simple vertical lines of curtains hung from the ceiling.

I'll suggest at least considering copying those lines for the bedrooms, only in the old Craftsman/Arts and Crafts style curtains that fit the windows. To my mind, they have a dignity and class that are almost never matched by curtains trying to disguise windows that aren't current standard sizes and shapes. Well made curtains that blended with the wall colors, that fit well, and that framed the windows simply when open, would both perform their practical functions and allow the eyes to pass serenely on outside and around the room to focus on art and other focal points.
