Hiya Jill, thanks for sending those images over. In response to your first question about your bedroom, I can think of a couple of solutions that may work. The first is the same solution as my previous French window answer to @montbray and fit something that moves with the window, either a Pleated or a Venetian which operate under tension and open with a thumb tab rather than a cord. Alternatively, it would look quite nice if a blind, particularly a Roman blind was fitted right to the top of the wall above the window, at the ceiling. This will allow the blind to be ‘dressed’ to form a valance effect above the window when the blind is open, giving full view from, and use of the window and when it is closed, it will give the illusion of the window being taller. In the case of your bathroom blind, you might like to try a waterproof Roller blind made from PVC fabric. Alternatively, Faux wood blinds are a really great idea, as they have all the look of traditional Wooden blinds, but won't warp in wet or steamy conditions. Admittedly, it is a difficult window to dress and there are not a lot of options, but hopefully, these will give you some ideas. Sarah

Thanks for your great ideas, I did think of wooden shutters but decided roman blinds were needed to soften the room. You can see the heated towel rail in the photo but I have sand and cognac towels that work well but all the fabrics for blinds in these colours look too heavy. I have a nice fabric in taupe with a small elephant pattern that is favourite at the moment but doesn't have the 'wow' factor! I agree that an orchid is also a good idea to add texture and softness.

Nothing you need the natural light.. And I am not sure anyone would see you through this window. High up.. Just maybe add a plant or some coloured clear bottles... The sun will reflect the colours though... (But don't clutter.. Have to remove stuff for cleaning and to much would block out the light.)

I really think it's a great basis for a lovely bathroom as it is. Here's what I would change to make it into the lovely, relaxed and luxurious space you're aiming for: roman blinds, change the photo frame for framed art with green tones in it, change the mirror for a larger and more elaborate one, find a small cart/trolley that holds towels and the items for daily use that are now on the little planchet. If you have space for that? There are very narrow ones that might work?
