Need help for curtain color, rug and some designing tips
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 MoreClueless on rug color!

Comments (27)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....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 MoreCurtain/blinds for large windows
Comments (1)Do you have any photos? that might be easier to help... But for light, white window coverings i like these, they could work for you -...See More

6 years agoWe have done a lot just like that. Typically we put a sheer on a track over the window / door and a plain thermal roller blind inside the frame (behind the curtain) The the same roller blind is put in the kitchen. This gives you the ability us the roller behind the curtain as a lining for night or cold days and creates flow between the kitchen and dining space. A thermal roller is very practical in a kitchen as they are cleanable and roll up out of the way when not in use.
Here's a dining room that I did. In this case we used two different fabrics and both are in the dining room / kitchen. (in this example its not over a working kitchen space but it would work just the same) This photo shows how the linen drape and rollers mix over a door and a separate roller blind looks next to it. Its super functional, cost effective and right on trend. In your case I would keep both the roller fabrics the same. Hope this is of help :)
