What window dressing in this living room.

6 years ago

Various shades of muted pastel with brass and gloss black accents.
4 Windows. Unsure whether to do blind or curtains and what fabric and colours.

Hi Amy,

Roman blinds would look lovely here. You could fit them either inside or outside the recess depending on the look you're going for. What about picking out one of the pastel shades and using that as a starting point?

Hi Amy

I would go for roman blinds inside the recess. Curtains won't work in the space as you have radiators under the windows (cill length curtains are a no-go!).

Your existing decor doesn't lend itself to loud patterns or colours so I would look for a fabric with an interesting texture that tones with the other colours in the space.

I too thought shutters would block out too much light, but the look when fitted is so lovely, and with wider size slats, the more light they let in. The pics below have small slats but its the same style of bay with shutters. Also don't have the push rods on the front if you want a cleaner look. Having the slats split so top/bottom open separately like pic below is also good if you want privacy without shutting out light from the top. High gloss shutters also reflect light into the room and shutters seem to go with any look, period or contemporary.

Hi. I hope your dog is ok. personally I'd cover the rhs shelves with a linen panel (excuse the awful photoshop btw!). Again, personally, as the wall space is small I'd just go for a single piece of art over the fire to create a focal point. Do you have another wall for a gallery? I know you said you didn't want a plant on the floor but would a skinny artificial one cover all the wires? A floor lamp such as the 2nd pic could work as the feet can slide under the sofa. A round table might also work to break up the lines but maybe in glass and brass?I'd move the grey vases to the left of the mantle and have the cactus the other side. Books would be fine on the other shelves with maybe an ornament or 2? Could you remove the shelf under the boxes as it's an awkward height and just store it under the sofa? I know you've just changed the sofa position but would the bed swing 90 degrees? You could then angle the sofa towards the corner? i think in any case I'd use a rug to zone the living area

They are lovely windows! I think the windows would actually look better without the curtains. Do you close the curtains at night for privacy when sitting in the room? Or just close at night going to bed? I think shutters might look too much for the big windows and you need something simpler. I like roman blinds. Or how about just curtains at the 2 sides, and when pulled back at the sides they are swept away from the walls/windows.... or held back with a hook/holder?

I love wumi's design too. If that gives you enough hanging/shelf space I'd def recommend the dressing table under the window in a right angle arrangement. I've got a, very similar sized room I've changed into a dressing room. Until recently I had the dressing table on the other wall running parallel with the wardrobes, thinking that was the best arrangement. But having to use the room for an office as well I moved the dressing table/desk under the window (I can't blur the background on my video calls and have open wardrobes) Its made a huge difference and given me so much more floor space in a very small room.
