I would do woven wood roman blinds..could customize one for over air conditioner unit.

I was hoping to bring in color to the room. Love this fabric which blends well but not sure what style to go with—Roman shade (stationary) or box pleat??

The fabric you chose is pretty, but it’s not going to bring in the color that you desire.

A fake roman shade in that fabric.

I think the richness of wood Wovens will make more of a impact..the fabric is very subtle I would use it for pillows.

I would suggest wood or fabric blinds. https://www.selectblinds.com/bamboo-blinds.html

It is a fabric I’m trying to coordinate with my living room which flows into each other hence why I’m going subtle. I have terra-cotta floors orangey cabinets making this a difficult room to coordinate. This was the other style I’m considering

Here is the living room

That fabric is perfect for your living room windows...do you have enough for drapery panels?

Thanks home with ease. I thought so too. My decorator suggested doing something different for the living room, not the same as kitchen.

Yep fabric panels for living room and beautiful Wood Woven's for kitchen..just not into valances at all...stationary panels and wovens are fresh and look great with all styles.

Help here! Are you suggesting wood wovens and panels for the kitchen? If so I don’t think I can afford. Fabric Valances alone are costing me 1600.00 and would love to do both but financially can’t.

No.....wood wovens for kitchen and fabric panels for living room...don’t do valances they are not a fresh look...woven woods Are beautiful and very now in design...and so very affordable.... I would never spend $1600 on valances! Girl cancel that order...have panels made for living room instead for that price.

I appreciate this feedback!!! Wood woven would run a lot less? Perhaps I can ask for a price and a price for drapes.

So much more adorable! Come in so many colors and textures...great sales going on right now...I purchase mine from Lowe’s or Home Depot..they let you check out the sample books..so you can see the colors in your home.

They look beautiful but I feel I have so much wood in this room already and wanted to soften it with fabric and possibly with woven shades at a later date. I’m concerned too much wood.

I have them mixed with drapes in my living room and dining room...and use just wood woven for many of my clients...you will love them.

The island wood color is an eyesore especially from this angle. Maybe fixing this one day soon too!

I think it will add balance to your kitchen..Have you ever thought about painting your island a soft white like your trim..it would really open it up...you could add drapes on a decorative traverse rod for your slider and wovens for the windows...no valance on that slider with the beautiful pediment window...

Ya think white?? I would love that!!! Would you suggest chalk painting or is there something different you would suggest? Omg this is a big project but might make a huge change. Off white or true white! Ok so now I may either leave the black curtains up for a while till I figure out what I need.

I have heard great things about using chalk paint...so easy to use...I would match the white with your trim that is throughout the house....you will love what it will bring to your space.

I need a visual sadly! Nervous to paint cherry cabinets.

simple pinch pleat panel on a decorative wood rod would be perfect on your slider and add that fabric touch you wanted....

I have a dog so thinking panels wouldn’t be a good option. Also didn’t want to breakup the door. Love the way it looks open. But yes agree panels would soften the room.

I have always had big dogs and have lived in 5 different homes and drapery panels never were a problem...we only closed them at night for privacy and during the day they are open and stacked on opposite side of slider opening...so never in the way...something to think about..I think it would look beautiful and add softness to your kitchen...but totally understand..you have a lovely kitchen with just a few changes it could be gorgeous! I use Smith & Noble for all my drapery panels and rods..they also install everything so one stop shop! I am sure they are having a big sale now.

I see your point. I worry about brining in too much wood but see how it would give more of a fresh look. Would you suggest color #32 or something different for my kitchen?

If you don't NEED light control or privacy I would leave the slider alone. The small windows with drapery panels would soften ad bring color into your space. It would also allow you to balance them with the large slider. The shades are ho hum and will bring your room down-too informal and blah. I REALLY need this penchant towards shades to go away. They look like they belong in a cheap apartment. The never elevate a room.IMHO

Arch gw I totally agree! I want cozy and warm inviting. Panels would be ok to the floor? My decorator suggested no to the panels due to my dog. Thoughts on that?

The wovens in #32 would be close to what I would suggest..but a color would be nice too..you have to bring in the samples to see what looks best...you can even pull a color from your fabric the sample I posted is a fraction of the colors offered. Most clients have a pet in the house...I would never avoid hanging panels because of a pet in the house...if worried you can always spray the fabric with Bayes fabric protector I put it on everything...my home is all neutrals so It is a must!.
