What window treatment??

Hi - we've recently added an extension to our house and are now sorting out the final few bits and bobs (flooring, curtains/blinds etc).
What would you do with the windows in this room? We're not overlooked and only need to be able to diffuse the glare of the sun at certain times of the day - so we were thinking of just fitting discreet roller blinds into the top of each window recess - but thought it worth asking if anyone else had any better ideas? Our style is mid century / Scandi.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Comments (13)FAB window. How about a hinged rod, or a room width rail. The 1st will open and sit against a wall, to be closed when needed, or one at each side. The curtains would be floor to ceiling and look gorgeous whether open or shut. A room width rail at ceiling height could sit the curtain to the left of the window when open, perhaps with a luxurious tie back and the curtain, when pulled over, would cover the entire wall as before. I DARE you to go for WHITE linen or, better still, WHITE velvet. Stunning! Bee...See MoreIdeas for Window Treatment for a Gable End
Comments (1)Hi there - what an exciting project! Full-height windows like this can be tricky to dress, so our suggestion would be for the simple, easy-to-clean and minimal solution of shutters - and yes, those high triangular windows can have shutters made for them too. This example from our Kelly Hoppen range maybe shows how sophisticated and sleek they can look from inside a contemporary kitchen space, especially when you have a large expanse of glass to cover......See MoreBest treatment for 2 big windows
Comments (19)Hi Pauline the best and only solution for black out is to install blackout lined curtains. Silent Gliss Wave tracks will look good but are expensive and the stack back ( when the curtains are open ) is not as efficient as with other heading styles. The most cost effective hanging system is for a standard track with inverted pleat heading. Other hanging system which is much more cost effective is Distinction pole which is neat and contemporary looking. Dont be tempted with any sort of blinds on these types of windows. Roller blinds will become unbalanced very quickly with the air movement with the door open; you get scuff / dirt marks on the base of the blind when it is down; roman blinds will be huge expanses of flat fabric, slow to lift up and with a big stack at the top. Any other cassette style blinds work ok on smaller windows but will spoil the effect in this room with loads of quite large casing to fit them into. Look at www.pretavivre.com for some ideas for curtains on large windows....See MoreAdvice on treatments/blinds for awkward shaped, inward opening windows
Comments (3)Thanks @Sarah L – that would be ideal but sadly not an option with the track we're already using for the sheers. A second track in front could work potentially but I imagine we'd end up with the two curtain layers overlapping. @Daisy England I like the sound of being a person who has "winter curtains"! It would possibly be the most cost effective option too. Something to consider for sure....See MoreNomah
