Post a picture of the whole space and also give us some idea of what you want from the window coverings . I dislike wood blinds I think they are heavy looking so I would never use them jast the same as I never use platation shutters.

My daughter picked the rug some time ago and while it goes well w random second hand furniture we've accumulated (funds have been tight w me being a sahm mom) Ive always seen something more like walnut woods, a rug w browns and blues or grey instead of the reds and greens in the current rug, that give things a very 80s vibe w the old oak trim. I would love things to feel a bit more modern. I tried to bring things up a notch w the black picture frames and thought about taking down the shade in the front window and getting some room darkening or light filtering grommet curtains, w some sheers behind them since the front window lets in loads of light and heats up the house alot. Also this room is open to our kitchen whos theme does not go with living room at all. Husband insisted on yellow walls in there, grey vinal tile, painted white cabinets (old homeowner built them in place) w gold knobs and black countertops which is a whole other story! Ill be posting those pics next! Ive been wanting to repaint since I first saw the yellow on the walls!

i tired to convince daughter to go more for something like this but it really didnt match things as well as what we currently have.

What i had thought of for the window i initally posted a pic of.

Im looking for something to cut down the light coming in from a south facing window in the morning because sitting at the computer in the morning the sun makes it hard to see
