Home Decorating Windows Design Dilemma

How to balance windows

9 months ago

We have two very different sized windows on one wall. Once the reno is complete there will be nothing on that wall, making those windows much more obvious. Looking for suggestions on how to make that wall look more balanced. Window treatments, wall treatment, trim work...??? Thanks

Can the smaller window be increased in size or be eliminated?

Increase the size of the smaller window? Should have been considered as you were planning the reno.

Let us see the real space and what is the need for windowcoverings . Do you need privacy during the day and night , do you need to control heat and UV from the sun ? I love my huge windows in my old house that looked out on a great view . IMO window coverings in kitchens are in need of function first ..

It is a bit wonky. Consider a wall of windows - thus, add another between the small window and larger....then lengthen the small window.
