Window Coverings help needed.
We have two windows, one in the kitchen that is
W 63 1/2" x L 58 1/4" and one in the den,
W 70 3/4" x L 70 1/4". We were looking at Hunter Douglas Vignettes and received a quote for $2400.. installed. Seemed high, but I know nothing on window coverings. Any other suggestions?

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 MoreNeed help with bathroom glass

8 years agoI just had a very bad experience with Smith&Noble and may have to ditch some expensive up/down roman shades that look like boat sails and are rife with defects. I started researching and it turns out there are small companies that make custom shades and so far, the prices seem reasonable. They also seem to take pride in there work and,
as opposed to my experience with Smith&Noble, know what their end product will look like. After this experience, I would encourage anyone to look into independent custom window covering manufacturers before going with the equivalent of the Big Box Store like Smith&Noble or HunterDouglas.leelee
