I assume you do not need window coverings so IMO some nice pieces of art . If you do need window coverings then if you drapes there will be much smaller areas between windows /.

Thanks, Patricia. I was thinking about window coverings but maybe shades versus drapes. There are five windows and French doors. I had drapes before and it just seemed like a lot…

Window shades and framed photography (black and white, seascapes, etc etc.).

Any recommendations on the color/type of shade?

A couple big Richard Serra prints would be nice.

It would help if your furnishings were somehow aligned with the walls. Can that happen??

Center the sofa between the two windows so the art aligns directly behind the sofa.

Hi Beverly, what does that mean to align to the walls?thx

Artistic suggestions of trees with verticality would enhance the feeling of neutrality and be unobtrusive -- you won't be throwing art or decor in people's faces. Pencil drawings might more suit your style

I love the windows with nothing it makes the space feel very open So we have collected original art for about 40 yrs over time from shows or galleries and even the odd art college.We lawyas made it arule to meet the artist and I like knowing who did the work. It makes a fun time when you both find something you love . I think if window covering are not important I would go art shopping.

Your home is lovely; it has such an elegant and serene vibe.

Can you show the rest of the room? Do you have art on other walls?

or drapes matching the walls

Stunning room. The windows and views outside are the art. It would pain me to see you hide the window trim behind curtains. Your colors are perfection. Leave the walls blanks. Less is more. Enjoy the relaxing space you have already created.

Look to British pics for inspiration for blank walls, no curtains, and old windows.

Thank you for the visualization it’s so helpful!! I love hanging rods higher but they interfere with depth of the beams.

The room seems unfinished to me between the windows.

Such a beautiful room!

The extra pictures of the room help — yes, I’d take time looking for art you love.

As for window treatments, if you decide you want them, I think any of these would work: simple roller shades, tailored or relaxed Roman shades, wood shutters, or cafe shutters.

Ignore the specific art, not suggesting these, just grabbed them to use for placement suggestions:

Ignore the curtains in these rooms, just showing for the shutters in one and Roman shades in other.

Anything you do, I’d install them inside mount.

Ignore the woven shades, showing for the cafe shutters:

I’m sorry, these are not the best examples, my iPad is acting up, so I grabbed what I could.

My preference would be cafe shutters … they’re classically elegant, wouldn’t hide the beautiful greenery outside, are easy to work with, fit the style of your house, are easy to add other treatments with them if you’d like, and would give enough privacy at night (I think). They’re usually good investments, too, when it comes to resale.

ETA: Forgot this one:

Yours look lovely as is, but all the black holes and reflections at night would bother me. And I like the layers and interest WTs bring in, even simple/minimal ones.

I have windows like yours and no window treatments at all since there are no privacy issues. There is just no reason to cover up these gorgeous windows that so beautifully frame what's beyond. My walls are very saturated colors and my furniture bright, so there is a lot I can add by way of wall decoration, but I think you need to stay within the strict visual you've already established -- strong straight lines, vanishing-to-nothing terms of color pallete. Since a vague sense of the woods is seen beyond the window as part of that "wallscape," I think whatever art or decor you choose can include that, but it should have the same delicacy, and vanishing-to-nothing as the wall and window and ceiling lines and shadows. I think window treatments run the risk of bringing the room into grannyland.

Thank you for your two cents!! I think that’s why I struggle because art would need to be subtle. Maybe I just need something higher that end of room?

Thank you, Jilly for taking the time to explain and find examples.

Appreciate all the feedback from everyone!

I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a pair of subtle works, perhaps pencil, pen or charcoal drawings, or silvery photographs, flaoting in a white mat. You could look for embossed paper art if you wanted something very minimalist. (These are too small but to give you an idea:

But your walls look fine so you should take your time to find something worth hanging.

@elimorgan12

I was looking for art for above my mantle and I saw these and thought of your room. In your space they might be best reframed to a rectangle, and maybe it is just not what you want, but it's close to what I had in mind when I first saw your posts.
