High ceilings, Arched Windows, Mountain Views - Window Coverings Advice?
Comments (9)Beautiful windows! Without blocking the view, your draperies would do much to enhance the feel of the room. I would suggest extening the rods at least 12" past the windows allowing for room to pull the draperies off the window without making them look smashed together. Also, I would have four panels made for each of the three paned windows, allowing a drape at each end and and either side of the middle window. Unless the light coming through the arched portion of the living room windows is a bother, I would leave them as they are except to extend them turther past each window. Since both rooms are painted the same color, I would treat them both with the same draperies. I agree with Tina Barclay, that a richer, textural fabric would give life and warmth to the room....See Morehas anyone seen a pine high top "game table"?
Comments (2)P.S. Based on the dimensions of the space I think the maximum size would be something in the range of 30 inches. I would rather not have a builder build it for me, because we had a couple glitches with custom furniture after recently buying this house, and honesty it would be easier for me (from a marital perspective, lol), should it not look right, if I could potentially return it after a few days. In other words, I am shying away from something custom at this particular moment... Thanks for any ideas! You all have such good ideas and sources! P.P.S. Wouldn't it be fun, to distinguish it from a plain bar table, if it had a checkerboard pattern on it, or something? That said, I am not thinking something super-casual or "basement game-room" looking, for this more traditional (farm-house type?) space...

Comments (11)First things first, BEAUTIFUL home and furniture. I agree with the double height drapes in a lighter weight fabric with possibly an accent trim. If budget allows, I would make that fireplace surround much taller (even all the way up that wall!) which would make a beautiful focal point. You may notice in the picture posted that the drapes were hung with the top of the upper window exposed. I think that works with arched windows but don't think I would do that for your square windows. Good luck....See MoreHow to place furniture with floor to ceiling windows in a high rise?
Comments (2)I once had an apartment where two of the three living room walls were all windows. We ended up just treating them like a normal wall, putting furniture up against them (pulled forward enough so that the blinds could get down but that's it). If you post some more pictures we can give better advice!...See Morebluenan
