Help with window dressing
Hello... I am embarking on the decoration of a guest bedroom at our holiday home. This room was made up of a small guest bedroom and a toilet. The previous owners combined the spaces and they are now one room, which has resulted in an awful window configuration - and miss-matched windows.
We are not in the position to alter the windows at the moment but have already entertained many "over night guests" and hope to continue in the future so I would like to get the room shaped up asap. My question is how on earth am I going to dress this mess?
The pics below are from the original listing.

Need a lot of help with window dressing
Comments (5)Hi mlockwood - not necessarily would be our answer. If you have frames painted a distinctive colour - like black - then it might look smarter to co-ordinate. But for plain white window frames we think any colour shutter looks fab! The frames of the shutters will of course be the same colour, and a white frame on the window only highlights the clean lines. Here is our Houzz board of colourful shutters to give you some ideas. http://www.houzz.co.uk/projects/860177/colourful-shutters SF...See MoreWindow dressing help!
Comments (3)Lovely colour and floor. I would use the alcove round the window like a box bay and fit a rail all the way round so that floor length curtains can pull back right into the side walls of the alcove when not in use. I would go floor length because those doors/window combinations tend to be a bit draughty....See Morehelp me choose window dressings please
Comments (0)My house 1970s house has quite wide (2.35m) windows that I struggle to know what to do with. I love the look of plantation blinds but it would be over £1000 to do the two front windows and that’s from a DIY website. I looked at wooden Venetians but they don’t sell them in the width I want. Would it be weird to have two side-by-side? My son wants a plain roller blind for his window but I sort of like the idea of his window matching the one below as they are the only two windows at the front of the house. The downstairs front window really needs a bit of privacy as lots of people walk past every day but it’s not an issue upstairs as there is only a high school across the road. At the moment the front and rear living room windows have shabby old vertical blinds which I know many people hate. However, they are good for privacy and filtering light, which is particularly important as the back of the living room has a large sliding patio door. Picture with ladder shows new upstairs window going in. The ground floor window was also replaced with one made up of 8 panes....See MoreHelp! how to dress this French door and window

7 years agoI would definitely agree with forzaitalia above; if you cover the radiator with long curtains you will be paying to heat the window!
The radiator looks the wrong proportions for the space. It would look better taller and wider I think personally and should be sat symmetrically below the larger window.
Alternatively, if you would consider changing it, you could go with a tall one between the 2 windows, then you could go for long curtains????
