I think the beachy coastal look would look great with a bamboo blind.

I would hang a valance and put the rod up high so the fabric hugs the ceiling and just a bit covers the trim (and shade) so you don't loose light. simple white with a fun shell trim?? or buy another sheet and make it to match...so cute!!! it is easy enough to use pillow cases too then all you need to do is heat tape the rod pocket...no sewing!

yes that too it would complement the basket but be a bit darker which is fine for sleeping...lol

Beautiful room. Blind, valance or flowy curtains - any choice will work.

a linen roman shade would look nice.

Shutters would be nice.

Lovely room. Roman blind for privacy.

You know, if you had storm shutters outside, it might stop the huge waves that are depositing sea life all over your bed.

Chock chook, I have a room darkening shade so darkening is not an issue. Yes, the waves here on Long Island can be huge!!! This poll is neck and neck so I have a lot to think about.

I think shutters or a shade just to block the morning sun.

Crisp white sheers.

I'll suggest an inside mount woven roller shade, similar to what's used in this photo. Inside mount is for clean lined simplicity, and roller is to maximize light that a hanging header or roman would take away.

Blind for privacy, as many have said. But I would do fixed side panels, wider than the window, as wide as the headboard. Will unify it, cause the window to merge with the headboard. I'd use a be achy, casual fabric, something fresh, lots of whit but with a splash of colour.

readbetter, did you decide yet? Please post a pic. Have been following your living room, downstairs room & this bedroom/office. Love your simple, classic style.

Edithsmom, no I still can't decide. I need to get a slipcover for the chair and ottoman on the desk side of the room. At that time I might just do it all at the same time. There is a window by the desk. I might have to wait until summer when I'm off. Just can't decide. I want to coordinate both sides.

Yes, can understand wanting the same treatments on both sides of the room. I will be patient. Thanks for the update.
