I would go with curtain panels from ceiling to floor.

The only time I see 63" curtains used is when there is a radiator under the window, or baseboard heating.

Use curtain panels from ceiling to floor. It will elevate the space and make the ceiling look taller.

also, extend your rods further past the windows.

The only place for that length is a hospital or nursing home. I wouldn't do curtains at all. A textured roman shade, ......A natural fiber.... ? The space is modern. I don't think panels are the answer in the space , unless you must have them : )

great space. I would opt for light blocking roman shades, ot top down / bottom up cellular blinds to manage light.

I agree no drapes and certainly not 63" I have just blinds in my walk out with big windows they are great at blocking the glare on the TV I think if you have a view out of those windows maybe solar shades could work too.

Thanks to all who have commented, no view out those windows except to window wells. I agree am going for a more modern look and am having to embrace the cool blue gray colors down in basement (although I am a warm color person) just trying to soften/break up the expanse of wall.

The current blinds don't do a great job with light control.

Do they still make the upgraded version of vertical blinds (ie. each piece is like a foot wide not 4")

although they would not pivot as its not a sliding glass door?

I do like idea of a natural fiber look although if I put a rattan (sp?) shade would it require window film to be dark enough?

Not wanting to do anything custom or $$$ for this basement room.

Something like this may work for you - woven wood with lining— though they do need customization. These are on Amazon.

go with curtains ceiling to floor and place rods 1/3 extended on each end of window frame. this will give the place an illusion of more height and add more width to window

64” Window sill length curtains aren’t needed because you don’t have a radiator to worry about, and they just don’t impart the look you are going for in this renovation, based on your sofa and TV console. Anything with slats (vertical blinds, horizontal blinds, plantation shutters) will cast bands of daylight across the TV screen. Either off-the-shelf room darkening full-length drapes or inside mount cordless fabric shades will work for optimal TV viewing and to soften the walls. BTW, you lean towards “warm” colors, gray is a neutral color, so you can probably find many shades of “warm” color accessories that work in this room. Compare your gray to a true gray or a pure white sheet of paper and see if your gray leans to brown, blue, olive, lavender.

These are reasonably priced at 6 panels for $104. You want fullness, so probably need 4 panels for the double window and 2 panels for the single window. I selected Stone as a warm color that may work with your gray, but it comes in various colors

Details make a big difference - your sofa has expensive-looking nail head trim detail, so I suggest you avoid casual grommet drapes (especially for below ground basement) and go with affordable upscale look of pleated or back tab drapes (like above photo). Once you pick your “warm” accent color (s), you can get pillow covers for your sofa toss pillows.

The last thing you want is vertical blinds........: (

If the budget is tight, you don't love the gray......... Hang art. Get pillows, a throw! Go to Home Depot, and get the outside mount room darkening CORDLESS cell shades they cut to size on the spot. You'll exit for less than 400.0 and you move ON.

NO RODS, NO RINGS and a nice clean look. Appropriate to the basement..capital B space. : )

The view is a window well, you're down there to watch tv....or sleep.

You can tell I love basements: ) Not.

Save the money for upstairs

As a follow up to this post wanted to share pictures of blackout curtains for the bedroom that I had ordered from JC Penney; they are in the basement bedroom and do the blackout job.

Should I hang a bit higher so they don't "break"? I do realize some will say longer length needed however with it being the basement I did not want to spend lots of $$$ or time hemming ready made stuff. I had contemplated whether these should also/or instead go in TV area.

In the meantime found the white curtains with back tab top and thought they would add the softness I was looking for. I now realize I am less concerned about the window light leakage in the TV room although could still change out blinds for a woven blind. Concerns with white is do I need another set (ie that means two sets of two for each 62' window) for fullness when they will rarely be pulled across window? Also the white is brighter than couch, is this a concern? Finally is it ok for the white curtains to "break" slightly at bottom?

Do appreciate everyone's input so far.

Gorgeous sconces and chandelier in BR! The new drapes look a bit wrinkled, do you have a hand held steamer or steam setting on your drier? Once the wrinkles are out, the drapes will be a smidge longer and if you don’t want to sew or raise the rod, try iron on hem tape for drapes, or just let it puddle a bit on the carpet.

If white drapes will rarely be closed, you don’t need another set, but the 2 panels would look better if the end of the rod went 4” past the window on both sides, and then bunch up the drapes a bit more. Since you are not trying to tie in the sofa with the paint color, I like the white drape with the white trim and white shades on the floor lamp, and I might add some pillow covers with a bit of white in the fabric, but what matters most is how you like the color with the rest of the room.

Check Amazon for curtains. I purchased some for a short term house and they look custom.

Marylut you would like this new to us home of ours - the previous owner - her style was blingy, shiny, there must be a better word to describe - unfortunately not quite my taste. The sconces I can live with but the chandeliers will have to go. I will have more design ? in the future as I make small changes.

Back to curtains, yes I will iron/steam out once I know I'm keeping. Will raise the rod to prevent the break since the fabric is not soft in the bedroom.

Today I will load 4 white panels and see if the rod will expand a little on each side of window in TV area. Thanks for your help.

I like the sconces and chandelier because I feel they elevate the guest BR to “boutique hotel” - not a basement feel at all. I think powder rooms and guest rooms can handle a bit of pizazz. blingy shiny everything is not my style either (probably Glam or Hollywood in decorator lingo?, if done with loads of white and off white is probably South Beach vibe?)

Ok I believe basement window covering decisions are done. Thanks to all for input!

Marylut I have also attached picture of bathroom to the downstairs bedroom. Another "glam" (that's a good word, although I am so far from a glam woman) chandelier and the bathroom is beautiful, again just not my usual taste. Tweek suggestions for the bathroom to come in another design dilemma.

Pics show a comparison of one panel per side vs. two and the final two panels per side in TV room.
