Need help with windows

9 years ago

I need suggestions for these bedroom windows. I'm removing the shutters and old fashioned curtains. There are four windows in a bay shaped area. The ceiling goes up very high in a turret shape in this part of the bedroom only. I have two chairs and a small table that go in this area. The bedroom has a formal feel with a four poster iron bed and a marble fireplace. Colors will be painted taupe and cream with white chair rail and crown molding.
Any help would be appreciated.

I would continue using shutters, but in black, customized as per picture. You could also add a rod above the arch and add drapery that is lined.

Do you need a window treatment for privacy? If so, I would suggest something more along these lines.. similar to what Maureen has suggested but made for your specific style of window. Not knowing what else you have in the room, I'm a bit hesitant to suggest color at this point.

Hi yoyo188, that's a very detailed plan! Looks fine with me, except I have a concern regarding the dining area. (The following done with Houzz Sketch function!) Just wondering if some of the guests at the dining table might potentially be facing the shoe rack? Not sure which you prefer, but I'd either reposition the shoe rack or the dining table: Regarding the proximity of the dining table to the kitchen, I like referencing the following Houzz Tours: [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-infusing-the-popular-scandi-theme-with-local-flavour-stsetivw-vs~84802854) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-this-flats-defining-style-is-streamlined-and-cosy-stsetivw-vs~86080574) [https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844[(https://www.houzz.com.sg/magazine/houzz-tour-finally-a-scan-dustrial-home-that-is-different-stsetivw-vs~85725844) But that's just my opinion, let me know what you think?

Need help for guest/study room

Hi 4eva zx, If you're only occasionally using the guest/study room as a place for a guest to sleep, then you should prioritise being able to use it as your home office. That said, you'd be better off having a more comfortable and convenient desk, rather than one where you'd have to climb up and down a platform, and possibly roll off it if you're using an ergonomic chair. A short-term guest would be well-served by a single-sized sofa bed, which you can also enjoy as a reading lounge when there is no guest. The broken lines indicate the sofa bed when unfolded – not ideal as it would block access to the wardrobe, but it shouldn't be an issue for occasional use. The best use of this room would be for you to enjoy it as much as possible. You could even install some overhead bookshelves in the corner above where you planned to put the desktop. Alternatively, you might even want to try a convertible desk-bed such as this: Hope this helps!

I would consider maybe doing draperies, but a bit different. Maybe adding an iron rod that goes along with the bed, and going with taupe or cream colored draperies would do the trick. That way you can get rid of the shutters, but still have your privacy.

The iron bed is actually a cream color. It's an unusual bed with a half canopy. I like the larger shutters. I would like drapes also.
I do need the window coverings for privacy and light control. The room gets a lot of light which wakes you up on the weekends. If I picked drapes should I have 2 panels at each of the four windows?

That's totally up to you, but I think that would be a good idea. I like the dark shutter idea as well. It would give you that extra privacy, and it would also add a nice darkness to the room with all of the light colors you have in there. It would also look gorgeous with the arch!

Consider bottom up/top down blinds or roman shades to give you more control of light and privacy.
