Windows above back run

6 years ago

Hi by any chance can you tell me the dimensions approximately of the windows above the back run? I want to achieve a similar shading effect but want to know how long and wide the windows need to be to make it work. Tia

Hi!

It is hard to see but I would look at something around 1000 x 1500 and see what effect this gives you. We advise people to map these things out before you place your order to ensure they sit in the right position for you :)

Thanks so much for coming back to me. The available space would be around 650cm long and 900 cm wife on each window. Do you think that would create the shadow affect? How would I map it out?

I feel in a situation like this, I would not add windows with no view that would probably end up with some type of coverings a great deal of the time. My situation would be use of mirrors to reflect available light back into room. Mirror could be styled to look like Windows etc. we have a similar situation in our kitchen, and we mirrored over the sink, and created two faux windows using mirror and drapery side pannels. The effect works great, and when you add the right lighting the effect is wonderful, day and night. Take a good look and visualize day and night views creating with mirrors designed into a "today" style and look.

Hello Jen, I am so surprised that no one has mentioned vertical blinds to you? They are very much back in fashion and work beautifully in a room such as yours. They come in 3.5" veins, which mean they will fold back and tuck into each recess when fully open. They turn to let as much light in as you need and then close when you want full privacy. They will be fitted in the recess above the windows. You can either have one complete rail length or two so you have a separate section over the door. You can have what's know as a middle split, i.e: half goes left and right. Personally I would suggest one length that opens to the left, therefore leaving your door completely uncovered when open. The pulley system is very much like a roller blind and are safety fixed to the wall so children can not get caught in them. They come in a huge rang of colours and materials and better still they are very affordable. I am working with a number of new developments in Hertfordshire at the moment and these are what the clients are all asking for. If you would like some idea of price, please email me your measurements and I will give you an idea, amanda@propertybydesign.net Good luck and enjoy! :0)

A few things I would change from experience...instead of a single and double door I would spend the extra money and put in a bifold corner section...would open up the space so much more. as for the kitchen...completely flip your design...put your breakfast bar closer to the window...make it large and multipurpose with the hob in it and then put your main band of cabinets either left, right or behind? We have recently restructured our existing cabinets to this layout and put in new countertops and it works far better than before!

You would be able to map out where they would go in the roof but it will be hard to map the shadow as I am not sure where the sun sets and rises in your location. You could make a simple wooden frame work and sit it up in the garden to get the idea of where the sun would hit.

Sorry I can't be more help!
