Need help choosing style and color of window treatments

6 years ago

What window treatment style, fabric material and color should I choose for the wall where the 3 sets of french doors are?

I couldn't back up far enough to take one photo of the entire wall where the 3 sets of french doors are, so if it's not a problem you'll have to look at the entire wall in 2 separate photos.

I think a light colored woven wood Roman shade and then is you want more oomph, add floor to ceiling side panels in the living area but not the kithen. Love your home; welcoming!

Susan, I like the woven wood Roman shade ideal and adding side panels to frame and/or unify the many pieces in the room. However when it comes to the panels, how would you deal with the set of French doors that meet right up against the bookshelves in the corner?

I really like pale grayish sage with white. Also a cool greenish aqua for a soothing look to the bath. White or gray Corian counter. If it's a low-use bath such as a powder room, white marble would be lovely for the counter. Rug or mat on the floor with a nice pattern to hide spills, dog hair, etc. If you have a window, lovely drapes, custom shade or match-stick blinds would help warm the space. Finally, if you have a bathtub, a custom shower curtain will really dress up the space and add character/warmth. Look at drapes as well as shower curtains on Houzz to get inspiration. https://www.houzz.com/photos/custom-shower-curtain-phbr0lbl-bl~l_43312 Consider the space across from the toilet & hang a piece of art there if possible.

You already have your accent colour as your sofa pillows (log roll pillows). I would take one of them shopping with me to get a rug that has that colour in it. It doesn't need to be a lot of that colour (I love the idea of burgandy rug here...but it might be too much with your monotone scheme). You can find a large rug that incorporates that red/raspberry in it so that you have a colour that is now your accent.

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)

if you lighten the cabinets etc, then the stone will appear more prominent. if that is what you want, that is fine. I sensed that you did not like the current counter. I would contact a marble/granite installer to see if they think that the cracks can be filled and polished out. it is pretty common to do this on new installations if it is feasible. they may try to charge you as as much as you would spend on a fabricating a counter out of a new slab if they did not do the original installation.

Susan, I really like your idea of woven wood shades. To be clear, you don't think I should add the shades over the kitchen doors. What's your thought about adding panels to the shades to bring in the room as the other designer suggested.
Btw, there's a 70"x70" modern art piece across the room from the doors. That said, do you still think woven wood shades will work?

I see something simple but elegant here. I would recommend a Hunter Douglas Silhouette in a color that closely matches the trim. Motorized with no cords. Keep the light, clean and open look the room exudes. Don't clutter it with woven woods.

Dear Nob Hill Design, Wow! Thank you for your advice, I'm comfortable ordering silhouettes as they relate closely to the 4.5" Plantation Shutters that are throughout the home, which by the way are the color of the trim. Any advice for the dining room windows are welcomed. Add panels for elegance, idk....?
See picture below of dining room with Plantations.
Question: Should I order Silhouettes for the french doors in the kitchen? As you can see by the picture below it shares the same space.
