South facing Windows

8 years ago

Have bought silk for Roman blinds to go outside the recesses and as the windows are south facing I am thinking of putting plain white straight edged (window frames are white) roller blinds in the recess to protect from sunlight. Will this look odd or is there a better option.thank you Roisin

Lining and interlining the silk roman shades would be better. Silk is fragile and attaching rings to unlined silk romans is not advised for that reason. Also, most shades look better on an inside the casing mount. However, you can do it your way as well if the silk is a sturdy variety. Assuming you'll keep them both lowered to same level and your view from outdoors will be the roller shade.

Put your headboard against the feature wall. Do you have a headboard? If not you could hang a mirror above the bed to bring more light into the room. Keep the curtains or roman blind neutral and if you wish to bring in colour you could get some big red tiebacks.

Our living room is a cosy size, about 15x15. It has a large window on one wall, fireplace on the opposite (will be a cream cast iron traditional style fireplace). I was thinking of painting it a very mellow sage green but am at a loss with what curtains to put in.

We are adding a rear single story extension to our semi detached 3 bed house, the rear of the house is south facing so lots of natural light, our current design is for a pitched roof with Velux in the roof and triangular windows on the back wall. Has anyone encountered blinding shafts of light through these upper windows? At the moment we notice in autumn / winter / early spring when the sun is lower we have to put the blinds down at the back of the house. The blinds for triangular windows I find ugly and dust magnets, but our architect thinks I am mad to remove them from the plans Many thanks for all advice
