Could you post pics of the whole space

Post pics from all angles and during daylight. Commentors need to see rugs, pillows, artwork and adjoining spaces to make recommendations.

If you do not need light control I would remove the blinds and have just bare windows,

We need blinds for privacy , I will post better pictures

wow. they are a problem! outside sight lines show your living area, or opposite walls? unless the cross street buildings are 10 ft away, I can't figure out how anyone could see in. regardless- the blinds look odd- as in no purpose what so ever. only thing I can come up with is inset sheers, the same color of the walls, window trim painted the same color, as in blend them in. Diffused light would still some through, privacy provided too.

Oh no we need blinds, we have 2 storey houses right behind us so definetly need the blinds for privacy and the sun shines in, the upper window blinds are on a remote , I’m looking for ideas for curtains or maybe just valances, I’ll send more pics

Another thing is we are building a stone fireplace that goes right up and the decor in our great room is not finished at all be ause I want to wait until the fireplace is finished

Here are some more pictures of our great room

What about the upper windows Ingrid?

Suggestions on whether I should hang the curtains on the ground or have them just to the floor on the bottom windows? Or instead of curtains something more Modern with flat panels? Or should I do just flat valances for a more modern look?

Suggestions with picture would help, thank you !

No suggestions?

Beautiful Room! Because of the modern design, I don't think long curtains would even suit it. Maybe nice wooden shutters? I think you need something with sharp clean lines.

Beautiful room, but the design does make it tricky for drapery.

The above is all I could find as a possible solution, and even then it probably won't work, but you may find it helpful.

Thank you ! Yes I was thinking that valances would work for the bottom windows

or maybe it will lookto old school

Maybe just 3 simple panels.

Do you like the ceiling height? Not kidding—I’d be tempted to add a bonus room above and gain a visual and noise barrier between this and the upstairs.

Hi Angel 18432 i do like your ida of the three simple panels do you suggest placing the panels up high just below the ledge , we do have lighting just under the ledge which you can see in the picture

Yes benjes we do like the 2 storey ceiling

yes, up to the bottom of the ledge and not quite to floor. You will have take down clock and re-hang later or move to another location.

I agree with laurafhallen. I don't believe the upper windows were intended to be covered, but to simply let light into the space. I would leave them uncovered and add simple plantation shutters to the lower windows, keeping the lines clean and crisp.

Yes good idea, thank you, would you suggest the short curtain rods for each panel or a full long rod? I do have the short rods on either side of my livingroom window and it looks nice

IdaClaire, I’m going to use the curtain panels , one in the middle of the windows and one panel on either end of the windows using short curtain rods , thanks for your input though

Just on lower windows, nothing on upper windows

yes, short rods. Pls post a picture later when all done.

Yes I will!

Thank you Angel!
