Bay leaded Windows
Comments (1)Hiya, It's hard to say without a picture, but if your top windows feature attractive stained glass, you might like to show this off. Cafe style shutters cover only the bottom half of the window the provide privacy without swamping your feature window. Cafe style shutters pictured below. If you'd prefer something full height, then Wooden blinds are a lovely, contemporary choice. If you add tape to these instead of cords, they even create an attractive shutter-style effect at a more affordable price. Hope that helps - let me know if you'd like any more advice.

Comments (9)I think you'll have to go with white or whatever looks best indoors in those rooms. You can always think about getting the windows colour bonded at some point instead of replacing them.

They were dark brown / mahogany ( vile ) - Outside they are all sage green. If you're going to paint the frames inside which will brighten the rooms and let you have whatever colour shutters you like, use Zinsser 1-2-3 primer and then paint away....See MoreVictorian leaded windows - condensation!!

That may not be an option so you should find that if the heating is kept at a low constant temperature it will prevent it. What type of window treatments do you have? Shutters are meant to be good for circulation whereas heavy curtains are obviously not!...See MoreLeaded or unleaded new window?
Comments (4)We had lots of leading in ours when we moved in - have recently had most replaced and the increase in the amount of light we get now is incredible considering the lead strips aren’t very thick. We do have a slight combination in that the windows which form part of the patio doors ( above them) are still leaded, as is our bathroom, but I actually don’t think it looks odd at all. personally I’d never opt for leaded now through choice. I’ll try and attach a pic…...See MoreMichelle Condie
