Need help with window treatment placement

last year

Hello-we just moved into an older home with narrow depth windows so our treatments need to be mounted outside. Previously I have always had inside mounted treatments so I’m not sure what looks best here. I’ve had some window treatment companies come measure but their design help is limited. Should I do picture frame mounted, to the edge of the window molding mounted or on the wall above and to the sides of the molding? It’s not super wide nice modern molding but also doesn’t look bad and is painted white. I plan to do one shade across both windows. Also not sure if it should be a waterfall shade or have a valance? I prefer the waterfall look I think but I was told it’ll stick out more from the window so I’m not sure if this will look funny? I think a valance is a little more formal or dated but maybe I’m wrong? Looking to do wooden Roman’s in our family and dining room as they’re open to each other and then soft Roman’s in our living room. Pic of family room here, room is approx 20x25.

Are you just planning on doing shades? Because to me the room is desparately asking for floor length draperies. Needs
the softness and some interest - texture or color - with the white walls. If you have shades, they can just be stationary panels.

Yes just doing the woven Roman shades. The texture will come from the shades. I don’t like panels in a family room, too formal for the space for my style which is more just modern farmhouse. The walls desperately need color on them which we will definitely be doing. The house was painted white by the previous owner. I plan to warm it up with a light greige

This room - the windows and doors - are a perfect match for inside mount window shades. For the windows, you will have a shade for each panel - inside mount to preserve the window trim. The doors, you will have 1-inch shades to the door panels, so they travel with the doors.

You can check us out at www.fenstermann.com or just give us a call at 619.665.9446.
