Please be patient Houzz i having some issues with pics this morning/ I will say that in an open space best is all one window covering . Add your different accents in the rooms where thye work but keep the windows simple . The kitchen is easy just some fun colorful things on the counter , The DR do a fab chandelier and a vase filled with fresh flowers on the table and the LR where you can add pillows a rug and art inall spaces where possible . I can help better once the glitch is fixed by Houzz

Thanks for the good ideas

Cool. I guess not the the ceiling but to the molding or oo.

First you need to control heat and UV IMO . I like solar shades for both heat and UV control and they allow you to keep the view , with your flooring I would use charcoal colored ones in a10% weave, Then I like drpes with those for nightime privacy if needed . I do not like drapery panels that only hang on the sides but actual drapes that are at least 2.5 x the width of the rod and easy to open and close I happen to like grommet drapes many very affrodable on Amazon. I would however not choose the drapes until all your furniture is in place . Then come back and we can help with the rest .

I think there are far better ways to add color than with cornices. I am not sure I would want cornices in your more modern space.

You can add color with curtains, furnishings, accessories, area rugs and art.

I have always loved this designers use of color in this home, yet most of the home is white.

IMO draperies would probably add more personality to the large double windows that blinds.

Get white blinds that match your white trim. This allows you to easily change wall paint colors.

I would use Hunter Douglas Duette shades with top-down/bottom-up option for the most flexibility. You can lower the top rail to get light/views from the top and block people from looking in on the lower parts of your windows.

Do you have an inspiration photo? I associate cornices with more formal, traditional decor but there may be a new version that is less so.

We might suggest looking at Roman shades, or actual curtains, instead of cornices. You might find some interesting colors, or patterns, that you like.

Having purchased a house that had recently been remodeled/redecorated and the interior was all Agreeable Grey, I'd recommend painting to get rid of the grey before you move in. You will end up regretting it if you don't IMO. We repainted the entire interior and we are glad we did.

I wouldn't put them throughout the house. Too much. And not really the style of house for them. We call them valances on the Coast but drapes might be a better option for this house.

Some drapes with your white and your shade of gray but add spring green for your color.

If interested these are called Regan Green Pencil Lined pattern.

It would be nice to see your progress photos if you have any. Good luck!

First, REMOVE ALL the gray! Gray will clash with warm colors like beige brown wood furniture. Replace the grey plastic fake wood floor with real wood, or even real linoleum using VCT with high glass polish in interesting patterns with border. Best to have real wood or real vinyl, not fake wood made of vinyl - ugh! With the grey gone, chose a nice color like a pastel (yellow, blue, green, or pink - MANY shades to chose from there) or beige. Look thru old magazines of photos from years ago (before the grey ugly cold modern came in) and follow a look that reflects YOUR style. Look in your clothes closet at all your non-grey clothes for inspiration on color combos that you like. Pick the fabrics for sofa and windows before you pick paint colors. And repeat - Grey is ugly, on the way out (thankfully), never should have been so "trendy" to begin with, and do not go "trendy" - go with what YOU LIKE even if it is from previous decades.

It’s great that you’re considering both furniture and blinds colors together for one space for a cohesive look. Consistency is key to avoid a cluttered feel, but playing with contrasting or bold colors, can definitely make the space more dynamic.

Hanas Blinds seems like a good choice for this approach, offering a warm atmosphere and a wide range of colors that can match your furniture while still adding a bit of

vibrancy.

i wouldn’t do cornices/valences in a modern home. its a very formal somewhat dated look. whatever you do in the great room/open connected spaces should be consistent. i wouldn’t do different colors. if it were my home i would paint all the interior walls a warm white.
