How to choose window shades/blinds
Comments (10)I have sort of the same issue.. I have wooden blinds with stationary drapery panels to either side. I love the blinds for their function, but something is missing. What I am considering is placing those bamboo woven roman shades OVER my blinds (in your case, the cellular shades), and leaving my drapes to each side. That would finish my look off, and would bring some nice texture in for you. The roman shades would be are just for looks and won't be pulled up and down, so they would be hung so the cellulars are hidden under the romans when the cellulars are pulled up. I can't tell if your cellulars are inside or outside mounted. If they are outside like my blinds, you are going to have to put a 2x4 or something behind the romans before you put them up so that the romans stand proud of the cellulars. Additionally, the drapes may also need to come forward in order to clear both.. I am considering buying a double curtain rod and using just the front rod, OR using those plant hook brackets. I've used them as drapery rod holders before when I lived in an apartment, and they worked quite well. Actually, I used a spray painted length of iron pipe as the actual drapery rod. Can you tell I had a tiny budget then? :) This was kind of long, hope it makes sense!...See MoreSheer window shades - what did you choose?
Comments (13)We used Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades in our house (no window treatments in the kitchen, though! LOL). In some rooms we have the Roman Shade style, but those have been discontinued. In other rooms, we used the roll-up flat screen style. I don't know how the Designer Screen Shades are different from their Roller Shades. Depending on the fabric you choose, they offer varying degrees of sheerness. Also, depending on your windows, these shades can be mounted over or inside the window casings(?). For our Master and Guest Bedrooms, we had HD micro-pleat shades installed behind the Screen Shades (theses are available in privacy and blackout versions, we used blackout). We raise them up completely during the day, while keeping the Screen Shades lowered (unless windows are open, then we raise those as well), and lower them at night. We are very happy with them....See MoreBest color of roller shades for windows with black sashes/white trim
Comments (10)Nshepp, I originally was going with solar shades in the open concept space, but ended up having 3m film applied on those windows and doors. This would protect floors and furniture, as well as, heat in the summer months. You can’t see in during the day, but with lights on at night you can. But we have a lot of privacy anyway. I did go with dark charcoal shades in the bedrooms. I have been very happy with my decision....See Morechoosing gutter color for white (more off white/cream) painted brick
Comments (7)Thank you for the quick feedback! The new roof is darker but not black. It’s very similar to the concept picture. The gutters are mostly on the sides of the house. No gutters on the front. The house itself is pretty plain which is why we are wanting to put something more elegant on the front. I’ve had a harder time figuring out the exterior remodel than the interior. Looking forward the hearing all of your advice. (If you would like a little humor, checkout the pictures I posted when I was researching Romabio paint. Someone asked for pictures of interior to get a since of my style. The whole thing is pretty comical in more ways than one. I went a little overboard. )...See Morebondia
