Windows Design Dilemma Home Decorating

Giant windows dilemna

last month

We have these giant windows in our family room - we love the view of the covered patio and yard. We don't like the view of the gutters and roof. We just moved into this house and are rehabbing - what do we do for these windows? Currently there are blinds top to bottom - probably original to this 1999 house.

do you have a picture with the blinds up?

Roller blinds or Roman shades could be lowered just enough to mitigate sightlines to the roof and gutters...a set of three inside mount as you show with the Venetians.

The thing to bear in mind is that you need a defra exempt stove if you are planning to burn wood in a smokeless zone, but there are loads available. I would let the installer deal with with the hearth along with the flue liner when it is installed. I have an open fire with a gas tray fitted and its great and also a stove which I love but as people say does throw out a lot of heat. These photos are my house, both of the fires were supplied and installed by Harrogate Feature Fireplaces. The sitting room fire is one of their huge selection of period cast iron fireplaces, and the stove is by Yeoman.

Most of those work together as the brass element is repeated. What flooring are you having in the kitchen (which looks great) as that could really add warmth? Ignore the first pic as that is £xxxxx but I thought the trumpet could be fun for the piano room although DH may hate it! The brass doesn’t match on this particular wall light but something like this would go and should be easy to find. I love the pearl drop light so thought I’d show it to you in case you like it. I really like the pendant in your first pic so have shown this one too, it’s reminiscent of 1930s Parisian jazz clubs. I assume the eichholtz one is actually chrome (as most tend to be!), do you want a similar brass version?

I don't know if you like any of these too. I forgot to say I also like the blue, maybe an accent colour for cushions? Have you also seen the blue and green colourway for the harlequin one you like? I agree it's a fab kitchen, especially the island and fireplace https://www.bluebellgray.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?limit=all&q=Fabric

We used Phalempin, our roofer did a random mix, looks less “flat” in colour. https://www.clayandslateroofingproducts.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Edillians-Product-Selector-2019.pdf

Valences would add a bit of color to the room and cover up the gutter view. You can have tailored, ruffled, or swags. Use the Search Houzz for Valence and you'll see a myriad of styles and colors.

you could put plantation shutters just on the top of the windows
