That's a really nice room, but the windows are odd in that the tops are narrow trim, while the middle wooden slats (not the right term, I know) are so heavy. I'd look to cover this up by using some sort of valance at the top ... and then a shade of some sort for privacy. The problem is, you don't have space at the top for such a valance ... not without covering the windows.

This is a tough question.

Can the white grids be removed? Do you need privacy or just want to add color? I like the windows bare, no grids, and put some larger plants in the room. It seems like the furniture arrangement might be fighting the lovely windows. Is there another arrangement option?

Using full drapes or using roman shades will give a very different "feel" to the room. Look up multiple pics of similar rooms and see what you like first. Both could work but you need to know what you want, not what someone else says you should do. Houzz has lots of photos for inspiration.

The wood trim is beautiful, not so much the white grilles. Remove them if you can and photo the windows again.I don't really care for the corner window that got short-changed on trim. Is there a matching one opposite? Do you need light control, privacy or simple softness? What's the view outside? I too think this may not be the optimal furniture arrangement for the space, especially the two corners. May we see "all" walls and the fireplace, please?

Not sure if you are thinking individual romans or not....that would be a lot of opening and closing. Motorization of some sort would be great but need to know more about what your "non-negotiables" are, light control, privacy, decor only etc.?

Any consideration for painting the trim white?

Yikes! Please don't paint that beautiful wood. I also rather like the grids. The only thing I'm not sure about is the lounger at the end of your seating.
Do you need window coverings? If so, I would only go with three curtains (two might be too heavy to open and close). Maybe those light blinds with cloth in between - have forgotten what they are called, even though I have them - for light control. Tie curtain colour in with your decor...small pattern. Blinds should be white or cream. I have 7 blinds, no curtains and, even though it seems a lot, I often open and close them without motor. Or open some for desired light.

No paint on trim. Maybe curtain panels positioned between windows at the wide molding. This would soften the heavy molding. Keep the half circle as is

I was thinking three panels also. With just the short rods because there is not wall space to put at the end for a long rod. Can someone send me a photo of what kind of panel fabric?

I don’t think you will be able to add any kind of draperies with the smaller window in the corner. If you need privacy a simple roller shade on the lower section. I would stain/paint those mullions* to match the windows.

yes I'm just looking g for softness the outside view is beautiful and there is a window adjacent to the other o

what are mullions?

just for decor and softness. husband will not paint trim. grilles can be removed. no need for privacy. just trying to bring it all together. the dark trim and square look makes it really hard in there. that's why I bought those side chairs to bring in some softness. got the green couch fof a good price but its green. my chairs are blue my pillows and ottoman are meant to match the chairs and the couch I bought which was not functional with my family? therefore I need to tie in blue green and red with my dark woodwork. I'm thinking 3 panels on every other window with short rods. just don't know what fabric to use

Perhaps simple sheer or semi-sheer cafe curtains just below the mullion on the lower sashes.

Some pretty embroidered antique ones would look nice on the lower part

ok thank you

omg!!!! thank you so much

I love it!

I would not do either on those windows , honestly unless you run around naked in this space I would not do any window coverings at all.

what color fabric would that be called

like a green?

Some king of Beige, close to your sectional color. Camel.

Green will work too.

agree w/Patricia's statement. do you really need coverings?

What I would do is take out the arched window and cover w/drywall. With all the other windows, it really necessary? it just looks straight out of the 90's.

I might be tempted to go a bit darker around those windows. I think w/the dark, large trim work, it would offer a nice compliment. Even the Abalone Shell (though not dark) gives a bit more contrast w/the dark wood. the current beige color is a tad blah.

I'd also consider doing the baseboards in white.

can you do inside mounts on those windows? if not, doing individual blinds that overlap the trim work will not look good.

inside mounts on the lowers, leave the smaller uppers bare, and remove the arched window.

I like Beth's ideas. She all the time comes with good solution! Here I did what she advised.I like the look.

thanks celery! you're so good at that. you and grover are the best photo-shoppers! I like the first two gray tones, only because the furniture goes with it. I like the blue wall too, but would like that color better w/a dark blue velvet sofa or some camel leather chairs.

The gray tones seem to work w/the light gray sofa.

what about the abalone shell color? Looks nice here w/the dark headboard.

Definitely the Shell color or, a dusty shade of sage green or a dusty blue......or, if you can find a print that is like a small scale plaid? of some combination of the 3 colors, that could be very pretty, only if it is the right colors and scale to your vision of the look you want. Such a nice big room!! WOW!

Similar to above comment. What glorious windows

Here is Abalone by SW

oh, wow. no. way too pink! lol we need something in the blush region.

I would first remove all of the window grids. Drapery panels to match the round footstool would be beautiful.

The heaviness of the window overwhelms the whole room. Roman shades would allow full view from the windows, while drapes would leave some of the windows always covered.

Celerygirl what app do you get that you can design the rooms?

I use Photoshop.

You are fortunate that you don't need privacy. You know what is said about people living in glass houses.

That is not just windows. That is an entire wall!

I agree with others who have advised you to just do nothing, if you don't need to.

If you absolutely must do something, my advice would be to add some sheers to part of it.

But, if you don't need privacy and there are no other issues....just leave them be. That much drapery would be almost theatrical and you would almost need stage curtains to cover that much space.

And, for goodness sakes, don't even consider putting paint on that window trim! Why to have such wood work as that and cover it with paint? (I don't think that you are really considering that anyway.)

Good that you feel that your house is situated so that having that much open view is not a negative for you. Too many times these large windows are put in houses where much privacy is needed.....too many people in glass houses looking out at others in their glass houses. You are fortunate if this is not a problem for you.

I posted in your other thread on this window. There's no place to mount the rod on the wall, in order to span your whole wall of windows and there's no stack back anywhere for panels without covering much of them up.

It's easy to draw on a picture and make it look like it'll work, but it's another thing to be able to do it in real life.

thank you, we live on a farm and behind our house is 30 acres of cornfields. we have some nice trees too so I really don't want to cover that

Then, don't cover them!

Shadylady is right. There is no place for them to stack when they are opened and very little space to mount anything. She is right that just because one can draw it on a computer screen, does not make it viable or workable.

The only thing that I could see as a possibility is a light and delicate application of sheers. But, even that is problematic with the way these windows are. They are a feature in the home. You should keep them as such.

Please just take out the white grids and leave those beautiful windows unadorned.

One would suspect that removing those white "grids" is likely more complicated than is realized. And, maybe, not even possible. Perhaps there was an option for a the color of these grids and this was the chosen color. Perhaps they serve some purpose other than decorative.

They do seem to dominate and make their very own statement that is a little louder than the actual windows. They offer a strong, graphic, visual that cannot be ignored.
