(And here's a view of the other end of the veranda that needs drapes.)

I would do either a solid or a stripe in a neutral fabric . Neither will go out of style.

I'm not a fan of outdoor drapes but if you want them for privacy purposes I agree with tennisanyone. Go neutral and possibly add an accent band of color or add an interesting braid. I would also suggest that you consider wide slatted shutters custom fitted into the arched opening, in my opinion a nicer option.

Some ideas?

Hi Keitha. Thank you for your posts and shutter idea. May I ask why you're not a fan of outdoor drapes? I have seen cheesy ones and applications where the panels are too thin. But it seems like the fabrics are getting better, with more design choices (see photo). I was thinking--perhaps in error--that outdoor drapes would help soften the hard surfaces, add great height, introduce additional color, and help it feel more "welcoming". But I am just a novice here and totally open.

Jhm... Your veranda is absolutely beautiful and I certainly agree with you that outdoor drapes will do all the things that you just mentioned. If that's what you want you should certainly go for it. I do love your fabric swatch!! I could personally envision shutters in the opening with that " Old World Charm". Possibly stained to compliment the beautiful ceiling!

Electric screens /solar shades

I love outdoor drapery--and you definitely want to use Sunbrella, or some other outdoor acrylic fabric or it is not worth your time/dollars to have outdoor curtains. Another caution, be sure you have adequate means to tie down the curtains or they will flap all over the place in the wind. There is special outdoor hardware to help meet these needs. Gorgeous veranda!
