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 MoreWindow coverings in a contemporary setting
Comments (1)You can have both! But for a contemporary space, of course, we think shutters have the edge - clean lines, good for heat and noise insulation and easy to wipe clean so less dust. Attached is an image of what you can do with full-height doors and shutters too. What do you think?...See MoreTall window dilemma

Comments (7)I love your furniture! The couch, chair and ottoman look so cosy. I would add some textured throws to the couch and chair, and a couple more cushions. I'd also pull them away from the walls slightly, as this will actually make the space feel larger. The wall behind the couch is crying out for some art- it really depends on your taste and budget, but you could go with a couple of really large canvases, or a photo gallery with lots of mismatched frames? Just don't hang them too high! The lamp beside the armchair would be great standing on a side table, and I'd add another side table with a lamp beside the couch where the big box is. The room would definitely feel cosier with lamps on and the overhead lights off. For storage, I'd go for built in every time! I'm biased as I love my own built in shelves so much. They definitely make a room feel cosy and finished. I'd be tempted to build floor to ceiling on the tv wall, with shelves above and cupboards below. The only issue there I think is the height of the tv...could it be lowered? It seems uncomfortably high. If it can't be moved, then long low shelving would work better than a full height unit....See More

5 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.

5 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.

5 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
