Window Treatment Ideas

5 years ago

This living room is 12' x 11' with an 18' ceiling. I have attached photos that show the wall units hugging the windows which is creating a problem for window treatments. Any suggestions on the window treatments with this configuration would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you looking to just add some fabric or replacing the blinds? You can pretty much forget adding curtains, so either an inside mount treatment (any kind you like) if replacing the blinds or maybe an outside mount faux roman if you're looking to add some fabric.

    Is it possible that these units would make a better statement if they were together elsewhere in the room? It would be helpful to see the balance of the room.

    I had the wall units on the right wall. I wasn't sure about that configuration so I moved them next to window. How can I show you the balance of the room? The three pics attached were taken outside the doorway to the room.

    I agree an inside mount of maybe plantation shutters or Roman shade could work if you keep the wall units there.

    I think putting the book cases together on the wall where the chair currently sits , and the chair angled in the corner to the left of the window ( as we see it) would look nice . It would be better than splitting the bookcases, imo. , and would also allow for drapery if that is what you were to choose.

    I think introducing a soft roman shade with some color would be nice.

    I like the suggestions. Beverly, these are the pics that you mentioned.

    In this pic the wall units are behind me.

    How do you use this room? I noticed when I clicked on Photo #2, the room is two stories tall with a same size window above the bottom window. This causes a problem with treating the lower window, as they both should be treated the same.


    Are you opposed to having a rug in the room?


    I like the rocker. Reminds me of one that belonged to my grandmother. Could it move to a bedroom? I think the table underneath the window distracts from the bookcases. I would move it to the wall where the smaller table (but more towards door to give breathing space between it and the bookcase), and move the smaller table next to the chaise.

    I like the idea of the table under the window being moved to the side wall

    The bookcases looked squished next to the window. There is not enough space there for them. Try them together on another wall and take a picture and post it.

    I moved the room around. Attached pics to show. Thoughts? Also with a double window, one above the other h

    what window treatments would you suggest?

    Looks like you need to hang full length drapes, from the ceiling to tie those two windows together. Otherwise leave as is.

    I think the way you moved the furniture looks great. I think you can certainly treat the bottom window however you would like without having to do the upper one the same. I think suspending drapery from above the top window would overwhelm the room. I would treat the bottom one and just leave the top as is.
