I like your style!

Just to clarify — you want some sort of shade, not curtains? (I was thinking cafe curtains, but hung higher than the middle. The rod hung at your first set of grids.)

Do you need sun/light control, privacy, etc? Or just for looks?

Will you have a cushion and/or pillows in the nook? If so, a pattern or no?

What window treatments do you have in other rooms?

PS: I’ve been looking at that exact fixture for my breakfast room. :)

I was considering cafe curtains. But I wasn’t sure how that would look being that they would be long. I will one day have cushions and pillows. We aren’t really looking for privacy since it faces our backyard on the bayou. I don’t know if I should get pattern or not? I’m so bad at making decisions on these things.

I can’t edit my other post for some reason. A few ideas:

Examples of hanging cafes higher. I love this look:

Other pretty ideas with lots of charm:

Inside mount woven, for texture and a vintage feel:

I like this look of using one rod, too:

Wow, all great examples, Jilly!

The good thing about cafe curtains is that they can be hung on tension rods. So you can experiment with inexpensive sheers to see if you like them before investing in custom or making holes in your trim.

Your windows would allow you to have one rod for each window.

Thanks, Diana. :)

I save so many pics to my IG folders, I love having that feature there!

I do have cheap practice curtains!

Those look good for giving an idea! Cafes are going to be so pretty in there. :)

Which height should I put them?

Try hanging them level with the top grid.

I hope Diana gives input on that because I really can’t decide. I keep looking and like them both, but am a bit more drawn to the higher ones.

It’ll partly depend on what curtains/fabric you decide to use, too.

Can you show putting them right at the level of the top grid?

Oops, sorry … didn’t see your post, Diana, before I made mine!

I think we both posted at the same time Jilly. I like keeping them level with the top grid, any other way gives too many horizontal lines. The lower grid is much too low.

And if you use sheers, you still have light coming in.

Should I use shears or some other fabric?

That height! Perfect!

I love sheers, but if you find something else you like, in the length that works, go for it!

I'd look for a very sheer linen curtain. Linen will go well with your antiques. There are some on Etsy that have french lace details in them as well.

Kendrah, I really love that idea for fabric. I’ve actually had these saved a while for when I do my hall bath window:

I like the look of cafe curtains on those windows from the inside, but why would anyone want to block one bit of that fabulous view? I think it looks great without any window treatments, especially once you soften the area with cushions and pillows and maybe hang some art on the side walls.

If anything, I would have soft, minimalist roman shades, hung high so they just barely cover the top of the window, to preserve the view of the sky.

Maybe in a neutral pattern.

If you never will close them, you could have faux romans which would keep them from looking as bulky as those in my last pic.

Cafe curtains are easy to open and close, especially the sheer ones.

Love the examples that Kendrah and Jilly posted.

Faux Romans could work too--I have them in my dining room. However, they were custom made and cost a lot more than the sheers on tension rods.

Jilly - Those are so pretty! I like so many of these selections you post here. Hopefully you'll post pics of your half bath when you redo it.

I agree that cafe curtains are easy to open and close, but if there is no reason to ever have them closed, they don't look as nice when opened and are just in the way of the view. If the OP would have a reason to close them, then the windows are perfect candidates for some of the pretty options Jilly posted.

Thank you, Kendrah!
