Window dressing for huge window right up against wall
Comments (11)There's another small one on the far end but this is the main radiator. Hmmm it's really interesting that your room is cosy as i've gone to trusty google and can't find anyone who says that radiators don't block the heat. It seems to be a big no no. I'm just so torn between function and fashion. I know it sounds silly. I think part of the problem is it is such a huge window that i would need more than one blind which would look a little odd. Then it isn't a usual height window in that it's quite close to the floor....See MoreWhere to place hall radiator and storage?
Comments (7)I would choose option 2 but make sure it looks nice from the side! I had a look at low radiators last year, this wasn’t the one I was looking at (can’t remember where I found it atm!) but not sure if this sort of style would help as another option? https://www.featureheating.co.uk/product/spiro-designer-radiator/ How much coat and shoe storage do you need?id be tempted to keep it quite open with something like this but appreciate it doesn’t work with dozens of coats!

Comments (20)The only other thing I would say is don’t totally rule out the corner cabinet idea if you can afford the type of internal pull and slide fittings that allow you to easily access everything inside. I seem to remember that they were ridiculously expensive but I could be wrong. Only you know much you need to store and how much space you’ve got in your kitchen....See MoreCurtains above a radiator?

Comments (8)Hi Tanni, what a lovely room and a lovely restful and sumptuous shade of blue that you have chosen on the wall. Lucky tenants! I would recommend doing a roman blind/curtain combo. By layering your window will provide more depth. Although you are adding layers you will be creating the illusion of more space by drawing the eye in through the layers. Having the curtains drawn back more for aesthetics will widen the space and also make the room feel really welcoming and warm to any potential tenant. For renting, I would opt for a blind fabric that is easy to wipe down/off marks. Blindstogo.co.uk have a great selection and an easy online measuring tool. I would recommend going for a bit of detail or pattern on the blinds like below to create interest and a focal point and then a plain curtain fabric. Lighter colours will create a brighter window space and bounce the natural daylight back into the room....See Moredottymax
