help me choose window dressings please

3 years ago

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.

Yeah Ooh, that is gorgeous fabric! Are you thinking of using that for the curtains? If yes you'll want to use that where the curtains are drawn to show it to its full glory. Wow, that's beautiful! And Carolins is right about the fretwork against an aubergine accent wall, in the right cream that would be stunning.

Hello, It is definitely not an easy task to dress such a unusual shape but this is exactly why your window brings such a charm to your room! I would suggest to make the shape for your curtain as in image number 1 attached. However, a thin white fabric would not be up to the the charisma of you bold window so I would use a linen, gray or beige (image 2), with a little touch of color on the bottom (image 3) - color that could be nicely re-used somewhere in the room on a painting or on some cushions somewhere... Image 4 is just for your ref. but I would not recommend to follow the slope of the window, I think it would damage the architectural lines of your space... Bit too heavy and might end pompous... Hope you'll be inspired ^_^ Cheers!

Will he get any bigger? ...not that size matters :) It's just that you mentioned something large and dramatic so you could prop him up so you can see him more clearly from the kitchen by getting a plant stand on legs, they are great for this size of plant. https://www.laredoute.co.uk/ppdp/prod-350293562.aspx?dim1=1&dim2=1&cod=Google-PPC-Shopping-19821890602-&gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVu-CojJgMnKzaLYVcz_1qKmtuu2BWUG5TV4TL5hLd_YuT7v-6c2GmBoCcRsQAvD_BwE Just gives it that little more height for you :) Looking great.
