Suggestions on window dressing our 22ft x 8ft stretch of window
Comments (18)I think that is a double-track and they have a second, heavier curtain behind it. But even if they don't, I think that is what you should do for versatility and look. They actually have it built into the frame so it is hidden and super sleek, but I think you can achieve this look if you run it along where the angled ceiling meets the wall. I would take a picture of your room and what you like to John Lewis, or another high end store or specialist curtain maker and ask their advice for specifics. I was just trying to give you an idea that I hoped you would like! I'm sorry I can't be super specific, but I think you need to have these custom made to do justice to the room, the view, and to get exactly what you want....See MoreNeed 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 MoreUnusually shaped windows - can't figure out a window dressing
Comments (9)Hi Lauren! I worked on a project with a similar situation! The windows were in a spare bedroom, so ideally they really did need to be covered at night time, however only when people were staying over. We had venetian blinds made for the standard rectangular window, then for the 2 angled windows, we produced a 'shield'. Basically, we got our joiner to make two shields which were templated to the same shape as the window reveals, with a handle in the centre, which then hooked on to the window. So they could be taken up and down as you wish. They were produced in oak and finished the same colour as the rest of the joinery and blinds, with a handle in pewter to match the rest of the ironmongery in the house. Unfortunately I don't have ay photos of the shields, but you can see the window, and the hooks that the shield mounts on to! We found this to be the most simple, unfussy option, and you are still able to see the windows in their full glory. The shields are kept in the cupboard when not being used. I hope this helps!

Comments (3)If you have wall lights on the pillars then you wouldn't be able to have one long pole, but I think that would look best and the most minimalist solution vs 3 separate poles. You can also get blinds fitted to the recesses of the door which can look really good as they're not noticeable when closed...See MoreSusie Campbell
