I think it would block a lot of light. Sorry not the best pictures but you could layer up.

Keep the venetians and add a roman or roller plus roman or just shutters or even add a pelmet.

What do you not like about the existing?

i recently added relaxed roman blinds (last pic but not mine) to a couple of rooms, they’re not great for daily use but i suspect they could be layered effectively if you’re wanting a softer look

I think Roman blinds would look lovely and much nicer than curtains.

Ooooo I like that idea 😎 was a bit worried about blinds on blinds ….. there’s not much clearance on the far left window though 🤔

No space 😑

I still think you need Roman blinds outside the window recess. Fit them close to the ceiling and visually they will l lend height to the room (so they serve a decorative purple pose only). Then you need something inside the recess to block out the light such as your current blinds, plantation shutters or a roller blind.

Thank you but fitting them outside is not feasible…. There’s literally no space to the left of the left window …..

Roman blinds can be fitted within the window recess like this.

Thanks all 🙂 pretty sure I’m keeping the blinds we have but will now add Roman blackout blinds to soften the look 😎
