Window Treatments/Drapes?!?

9 years ago

I've been trying to get this to post all day, here's hoping it works:

Advice needed! I have an open floor plan with large windows. The windows desperately need treatments to give my house that something extra and also because some of them are West facing and the sunlight is killer in the evenings. I really like the bamboo roman shade look with white linen drapes. The problem is that the windows are different sizes and they all have a decorative molding above them. All of these windows can be seen from the main living area and entrance of the house so I want them to look cohesive. Check out my pics and please give me your opinions. Do I hang the curtain rod a few inches above the living room window and let the drapes hang to the side? But the back doors are just to the right and also have molding above them....do I need to do drapes there also or is it ok to just do the window? The back doors have blinds built into them so they won't need shades.





The breakfast window is shorter than the living room window by over a foot. I feel that hanging the drapes at the same height might look funny, or would it? The living room window from floor to the top of the window molding is 10.5 feet. The breakfast window from floor to molding is 9.3 feet.





Then on the other side of the living room is the dining room and office, on opposite sides of my front door. Both of these windows go all the way to the ceiling and there is no room to hang drapes above. There are 12 ft ceilings everywhere. Would I have to do a nonfunctional drape? Or no drapes at all for these two windows?







Any advice is appreciate me bc I am HORRIBLE at design and decor. If my vision for the window treatments isn't what I should do please just let me know and give me tips! Thanks in advance!!
