You can add drapery panels, but not with those white shades. If you need privacy consider woven woods, wood blinds or bamboo shades to pull the wood tones to the windows.

I thought the striped drapery panels would help add dimension to your room.

The room might look larger with a light sage green.

Thank you! So you think just having one panel on each side is sufficient? I wasn’t sure if I needed a scarf or something like that but i can’t seem to find one long enough anyway!

Can you share where you found those curtains?

If you use panels they need to look full enough to entirely cover the window, even if you don't plan on using them that way. Your rod should run the whole length of your wall.

No, the rod should extend about 6" past your window trim and it's more than likely you will require at least 2 panels on each side of the window unless the panels are made for the size of your windows.

I like these curved end rods so that you have no light leakage from the side profile.
