What window treatment

[rikki]

I have curtains everywhere else on the first floor but I think they would get in the way of the built ins in our informal eating area so I’m thinking either blinds or Roman shades or something else, but not sure what. Any ideas?

Honestly I probably wouldn't put anything in the smaller window.

I would do bamboo shades or white blinds on the other windows.

I would do wood blinds, honeycomb shades with the top-down option, our plantation shutters.

Is there anything in the other windows besides curtains? I'd think about whether you want all the windows to match from the outside, particularly if they're all street facing.

I think Roman shades would look very nice.

There are 2 small windows flanking the fireplace. I hadn’t planned to do anything on them. Was just thinking main windows.

good call. Nothing but lightweight linen full length curtains.

I love your house so much!

I'm bad at this stuff and have no window treatments in my living room, and I've lived here for 10 years now. I'll leave the advice to the others! haha

Beautiful room! I think there are enough wood tones already so I'd do something in white or a lighter color.

We have these top-down bottom-up Roman shades that are very simple and sit within the widow frame. I think something similar would look great in your room.

Hunter Douglas Architect series honeycomb blinds. Top down and bottom up opening, mounted inside the frame, lots of neutral colour and light screening options, including linen look finish. They are really easy to adjust and ours (installed on huge windows) are still working perfectly two years later.

Do you actually need to close shades/curtains for light filtering? Or is it just for decorative purposes? I wonder if roman shades w/a box valance above the big window would look best? Sort of a finished look but it wouldn't block the light.

I like curtains, but I agree, the panel near the seat might look crowded. But I think those could work if it's a light/thin linen.

I would say a top-down bottom-up in a light linen color. The trim is so beautiful I'd want to mount inside the frame to have them disappear if possible.

Every time I see a new picture of your house I fall in love with it more.

Ummm... That view.  I would never leave my house.

InBetweenDays, must be rough having to look at that view all the time

[InBetweenDays]

aspentosh, k3am, Thanks. We feel pretty spoiled. We stalked the neighborhood for awhile a bought a very run down house using the zillow "make me move" option way back when that was a thing.

We have roman shades throughout our downstairs and really love them. We're going to have them put in all through the upstairs when we get a chance.

I’d love plantation shutters in this room.
