You need 2 panels for each window...

This is the look we are going for - they’re not ironed or anything yet. We don’t want to block the window or the light and because of the tv there was not enough room to extend the rod very far. For these reasons, we are doing the curtains both off to one side.

The inspiration room has contrasting white trim and white lined drapes. As other stated the drapes are grommet in the inspiration. Also try updating the bulbs to LED.

I believe the first comment may have referred to the feeling that the panels do not look quite full enough and you should try two on each window even if they are both pushed to one side. I needed two panels per window - both pulled to one side to get a full enough look, but my panels are very sheer.

We might go for a lighter color, like cream. The room looks dark with the curtains you currently have up.

Creamy linen would look super.

I thought so too but it doesn’t look that good

Your photo is dark. I think curtains are ok.

I agree with celery. I like the curtains. One reason the room looks dark is because you're taking the picture facing the light. Try retaking the photo when the light is on the other side of the house.

The light is literally never in the other side, we get constant sun all day in here. I thought they were too dark till I tried light ones, they don’t look good. I think the dark curtains are ok, it’s such a light room. I can never get a decent picture in here. This was at 7am and these windows are tinted too.
