last modified: 8 years ago

Hello all,

I posted a few days ago about my son's room. Now that i am done, i need window treatments. His white blinds look funny so i was looking at curtains. Below are pictures of his room and the two options. The wall is all silver, shiney paint (aircraft sheet metal theme). So do i go with planes or silver, shiney curtains? TIA!!!

ROOM:

OPTION 1:

OPTION 2:

Sort by:Oldest

How old is your son? I think the ones with the plane print area GREAT! I'm sorry that your 'rivets' around the window frame will be covered.

I expanded the pic of the sparkly ones, and personally, they don't do it for me, but I'm an old lady and he ISN'T! :-)

Yeah, i was worried sparkles might be too much for an 8 year old boy. But because his wall is shiney...i thought the curtains would blend better.

I appreciate your comment!

The plane themed ones for sure. The blue in it ties in with the blue walls. You already have a shiny wall, so shiny curtains would just be too much.

Hey, I'm an old lady and I love the airplane curtains. They would totally complete the room!
