What is the width of the window? Panels? Most likely 2 panels hung on the outer sides of the window. No room on the inner sides

Two. You don't want the draperies to look skimpy.

Two panels on each window and I would not raise the art...perfect distance above your credenza

Is this a before and after with tv versus picture? I would move the 2 side chairs to someplace else, then bring those lamps forward. Not sure if the picture needs to be raised....I think just woven shades would be fine without drapes.

Opposite walls - tv on one side, table on the other. Still working on the accessories. Windows are about 44 inches wide.

I can see why you'd consider one panel on each window, since you won't have much room for a stacked drape between the window and the TV and especially between the windows and painting. Maybe if the drapes were lightweight you could fit them. Maybe roman shades, which I don't love, but might work better.

I tend to agree with two panels. Don't raise the picture. Looks like a nice room.

I would do only 1 per window. It will leave the room nice and airy.

I would use only the blinds. And suggest you move the two chairs so that each is sitting in the middle of the window rather than "squezzed" next to your table. Art work looks great;no need to change the height.

As you really don't have any room for drapery on the inside of windows, just do the outside, floor to ceiling on both sides to balance. Artwork is fine - doesn't need adjusting.

I would just hang the shades. I don't like just one panel at one end, plus the fact there will be a lot going on. Adding curtains will be too much, IMO.

While these are not your style, the situation is similar. The long panel on 1 side works so well. I have 2 windows where I did this (the curtains come together in a corner) and I love the open feel, yet it's not plain.

Both areas are too crowded with furniture and the wall hung items to allow for properly fitted drapes. I would stick with inside mounted blinds or shades. If you really want the softness of draped fabric, I think your casual style could benefit from some semi-sheer cafe curtains which would also provide some privacy from the neighbors. To try them but avoid making holes for mounting until you are sure, just use tension rods to hold them inside the window frames.

I think one panel each window looks great and fits the style of your room well. The curtain rods would go across the whole window, of course ... I wasn’t able to do that in these mock-ups:

Wow, Jinx! Thank you!
