What to do with windows?

Hi
I need a bit of help planning the curtains/blinds for the windows in my bedroom. The larger window I am thinking curtains but then do I go above the radiator or to the floor?
The smaller window I don't know. I think a single curtain wouldn't like right. Maybe a blind of some sort but would that look odd/clash with the curtains on the other window!
I'm going for a modern clean look. It's not a very big room. Are there any modern looking alternatives?
(excuse the clutter- redecorating)
Thanks

Long narrow window...?
Comments (3)What about a film that can be applied to the glass? If you choose a film that is opaque it will let in light but won't allow people to view through? That way you don't have to think of any colours at present and could perhaps use it as a display shelf to display artwork, photos or glasswork that would be complementary to your colour scheme!...See MoreUgly box bay window, ideas please
Comments (11)Hiya, We always recommend making a feature of a bay window, especially in a living space. Choose 3 separate blinds that follow the windows - Roman blinds are a popular choice as they create a luxurious feel, though if you're overlooked you might like something with slats, like shutters as you suggest. Framing the window with dress curtains is a lovely addition too - as you mention, the close-in curtains can make the window feel smaller, so consider a wider curtain pole to make the most of the space and light. Hope that helps, Zoe...See MoreWhat about the 2 windows?
Comments (2)Considering all of the upcoming changes you mentioned and the fact that you can't change the Roman blinder on the door, yes, in my opinion it would be too much to add similar blinders in terms of colour on the windows. The door is also seems quite a statement. I would suggest to wait until you change the colour of the walls and take it from there. But if you really need to cover the windows as then I would recommend something very neutral such as a variant of white or linen bright grey. Again it depends on the dynamic of the whole room and you don't want to make it too stuffy....See MoreTall window dilemma

6 years agoIf you have floor length curtains by your big window, and have them drawn when the heating's on, so much heat will be lost behind the curtain. So you could have matching blinds in both windows and then lighter floor length curtains at your larger window, to draw at night time when the heating isn't on or in the summer. Shutters sound good too and would suit the cottage style windows. I've just redecorated my bedroom in soft white with a grey feature wall and made a silver birch and hearts wallhanging to fit in with my soft woodland theme. I made curtains with a soft grey border that match the full length curtains that I have instead of doors on my built-in wardrobes. It's a calm, uncluttered space and I can change the quilt in summer, although I do love my 'On a Cold and Frosty Morning' quilt - it's really warm.

6 years agoHi I would put a roman blind in each window with blackout lining. This then works as your main window dressing and light deterrent. You then have two choices first as Adaliza said a light voile curtain that can be pulled across or just have full length dress curtains. Which is what I would do for my clients. You get the best of everything that way and it look great. I have attached an image so you see the effect. If the romans and curtains are bit too pricey then go for a blackout roller this works just as well.

6 years agoHI a nice warm colour. I have attached a fabric that incorporates your carpet colour but also several other colours that will give you options through out your room. for example if that is your blind you could choose to have plain aqua curtains and headboard and then a selection of cushions combing the two fabrics. hope this helps
