Ideas for replacing bedroom window - any suggestions?

last year

last modified: last year

We are in the process of replacing our windows but struggling with what to do with the master bedroom. All windows are being replaced in Anthracite and mostly casent style. This window is a problem because its very long.

The current opening is too small so we would like a bigger one. This particular window is longer (and not so wide) than the others and has lower cill in the bedroom.

So far i’ve not found an opening design that seems to work well with the other casement windows.

Hi David. An exciting new project you have there! Here are my initial thoughts: Living room: I would lose the warm tones and pattern, as I think this is what is making it feel dated for you, and introduce some grey and white, with possibly a touch of petrol blue. Shutter style blinds may be nice for your windows - you can get well designed yet affordable slatted blinds that resemble shutters these days. Again, I would stick to white and keep it fresh. I would build in a chimney breast for your TV, and how about a modern style log burner? Prints work well on cushions, so if you did want to re-introduce some pattern into a more modern setting, I would mix geometric printed cushions with simple plain ones to break them up. There are lots out there at the moment. If you wanted to keep the oak floors, you could look into sanding them back and grey-washing for a modern feel or indeed keep them oak. Just by sanding them back they will begin to feel a bit more modern. Note - oak changes colour over time, so if in direct sunlight it will start to go a warmer colour. Bedroom: Remove arch if you can, which would open the space up quite a bit. Perhaps the curtains could go and you could go for a fabric roman blind instead - this would soften the windows a little, yet still feel modern. Plain white waffle bedlinen is always a good move, and if you like a pop of colour, layer it with a throw and blanket, as well as three - four cushions, stacked in front of the pillows. This could introduce a little colour for you. If you stick to cooler colours, you could keep the oak floor if you wanted to, as it may balance out nicely. Can't quite see your pendant light in the shots, but perhaps white origami style pendants and lamps with soft glows would be nice. Keep it fresh, yet soft as this is the room you want to relax in. Greys and tonal colours work well in bedrooms. Not sure if you were planning on keeping your furniture or not, the black could work well for a modern setting, but if you were, you could look at white or grey gloss styles as options. This will keep it looking clutter-free with streamlined pieces. Hope this helps a little. Fi

The best bet is to paint a few samples on lining paper, and then look at those in the room in various lights -- morning, full sun, evening, artificial light only, etc. How about a fresh green? That can look stunning against white furniture, and will work well with many accent colours for cushions, etc.

Hi Tia, I think our new Glow in the Dark fabric could have a fun middle ground appeal to both girls while the neutral grey background will work well with the colour scheme. Our roller blinds are unique as you can actually swap the fabric of the blinds after they are installed without remeasuring or ever removing the system from the window, by simply hooking off one fabric and hooking on another. So you can easily update your look as their tastes grow and change. Find out more about our Fabric Changing Roller Blinds here. Or you could pair the fabric with a BlocOut™ Blind for an unmatched level of darkness in the room to ensure the girls get a great night's sleep, even on these brighter morning. Feel free to give us a call on 0800 107 5535 if you have any questions at all. Best of luck, Kiera

Good morning, It may be worth measuring the room and uploading a plan, so that Houzz designers can properly assess the room and provide an accurate layout for you. Get some measurements of walls, windows and doors, as well as the ceiling height.
