At least the window tops align. I'd do floor length drapes on both, with either sheers or blinds for privacy. Floor length drapes will make both windows look similar, particularly if you have furniture against the windows.

Is that a door to the outside? If so, long term I'd want something more in tune with 1029 with some frosted glass to let in more light. Paint the paneling, maybe even the same color as the other wall. That way it might fade into the background more. I wouldn't want to highlight it. At my husband's old house, the master bedroom had awful mismatched dark paneling. They painted it all the same color, and with the furniture in there, it really does fade into the background and you don't notice the pattern that much.

I pinkmountain it is the front door and yes, a new one would be nice, hopefully one day it will be in the budget. I agree with the drapes but if the couch is against the wall that’s not ideal. We don’t have dimensions of the room yet but hopefully it won’t have to be there. And you have a good point about painting the wood wall. We wanted to do the other walls 3/4 blue/green and then white the rest of the way. But that wouldn’t work on the wood wall. What would you suggest with that in mind?

Just had a thought. Would it be crazy to take down the wood and re-install it horizontally?

Do you want it as an accent wall? If so, leave as is. If not, either paint or rip off. I would not go to the trouble of ripping it off and re-installing. The boards would probably be wrecked. You can have furniture slightly away from walls to allow for drapes to hang. Less is more with decorating. Either live with the wall and learn to love the chevron, or bite the bullet and take it down right now, before you get all moved in. Depending on how it is attached and what it is attached to, it might not be that difficult to take off. But if it is plaster, I'd leave well enough alone if it's glued or something like that, if money was tight. Save your money for a nicer front door. I lived in a 1929 plaster walled house. I loved the walls for muffling sound, but they were a bi-you-know-what to fix. Patching not so bad, but we had to tear out the plaster wall around our tub, OMG, not only plaster but something akin to chicken wire that it was adhered to in the good ol' days plus lathe behind that. Great solid walls, as long as you don't need to do major alterations! On the other hand, it might be just nailed or screwed on or something in which case you could probably patch rather easily.

Get rid of the wood and don't reinstall it. Then you can beef up the trim on that window to better align with the age of the house...
