Odd windows: Curtains or blinds?
Hi everyone, have a bit of a problem with the windows in my bedroom. I have a wall to wall window on one side of the room, and then two smaller windows on the adjoining side. I also have a ledge against both sides of the room. I know I’m not describing this well, please see pictures. My problem is stylistically, blinds look better for the room, but as you can see in the pictures, there is significant light seepage around the edges of the blinds. Curtains would solve this problem, but because of the shortness of the windows (and the one narrow window on the other side of the room), they’d look weird. Any thoughts on what I could do? Thanks so much in advance!

11 years agoI would recommend room darkening Cellular shades they can be mounted much closer together . It will give you better light control you need in a bedroom .

Comments (1)You have a very difficult room to work with here. For the curtains I would definitely choose something with pattern and a color that will "warm up the space" . I would buy longer panels that would go to atleast the top of the baseboard. I would also add a textured bamboo shade in a warm wood tone behind the curtains. By layering the window treatments you can completely hide the window when you don't want to see it without having to mess with the curtains. If you are going to keep all of the furnishings that you have in the room, I would defintely rearrange them. I would try to wall-mount the TV on the wall where the white sofa is now.You could place it on a hinged bracket which would allow you to swing it out for viewing and then push back out of the way when not in use. If cou cannot wall mount it, I still think that I would relocate it here. I would place the white sofa in front of the window (with it's lovely new blinds and curtains) which would supply a better "backdrop" for it than the white wall which it is now blending into. If you could, it would actually be a good idea to lose the white couch altogether, leave the black sofa where it is, and place a low bench or a pair of ottomans facing the black couch thus creating a conversation group while still being able to see over them when watching TV. I would define the seating group with a plush area rug with plenty of warm color that will compliment your new curtains while warming up the white floors. In fact, since the rug is probably going to be the most expensive item I would pick it out first and let it set the color palette for you....See MoreCurtains - despite aircons above the window
Comments (7)Of course ... here we go. Let me know if this helps. Patricia, yes, I understand that the drapes will need to be open. IN my case the curtains are less about Privacy, but more about making the room visually higher & covering windows that are not too attractive. (note 1: the landlord's curtains in the picture have been removed)...See MoreHelp with curtains
