Do these windows look naked to you? We weren't planning on adding anything else but every time I look at them they seem naked.

Also need a new floor lamp if you have any ideas.

Not naked, but they're wearing high-water drapes. Did they outgrow them?

Try adding a chair rail or paint the upper and bottom wall portions a different color.

If you're worried about wood shrinking, you can ask the builder what kind of wood he would recommend for minimal shrinking.

Hi Olivia Chng, If you are facing this kind of problems, you could try to install curtains on your bedroom. Normally blinds is not really suitable for bedroom, because blinds cant really fully cover the lighting. Blackout curtains (100% blocking the light) or Dimout curtains (80%-90% blocking the light). Adding curtains to the windows (and even doors) gives you an additional layer of insulation and can even bring down your power bills in the long run. Since you already installed blinds, you can try to combine with curtains, please check the following link for more information: https://www.facebook.com/innovahomedec/posts/921948654569170 I hope my reply can solve your current problems. Feel free to contact us if you need further solution about window dressing. Thanks & Regards, Innova Home Deco

The only thing this room needs are horizontal blinds or a shade on the window. The idea that people can see in would drive me crazy.

There are many types of blinds or shades that you could put in the window to give the room privacy in the evening. You could use Silhouette or Pirouette Shades if you would like the shades down in the daytime as well and you can still view through them. Cellular shades are another nice option and you can add the top down bottom up feature for added privacy in the daytime which will also allow you to have a view if you drop the top down.

I was thinking of adding a woven shade just for visual. It's an office so we don't really need privacy in there.

Try adding a wide strip of contrasting fabric to the bottom (to extend them to the floor) and the interior margins of the existing drapes. Groveraxle nailed it yet again.

I am aware they are short. I bought the longer length. I am beyond my return period so they will do the job for a few months until I get something else. Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, your curtains are too short. I would raise the curtain rod as close to the ceiling as you can get it and add another fabric as a border to the bottom so that there is no more than 1/2" between the floor and the curtain bottom.
