How to fit curtains when windows are over radiators?

3 years ago

Hi all! Hope you can help me. I’m renting a house and doing small decor upgrades do give it a bit of my taste, so I’m changing the curtains. The problem is all the radiators are located under the windows. I like the full length floor to ceiling style but I’m afraid it will affect the radiators efficiency. I was told to fit the curtains just below the end of the windows, but it doesn’t seem right to me. Could someone help , please? Thanks! 😊

You dont' have the room for a rod regardless of whether the track is in the rod or not. Ceiling mounted tracks can look OK, especially if painted the same color as the wall or ceiling, they really do disappear. It is not a traditional look but more a contemporary look. I think you are thinking of the old fashioned white traversing rods...they should never be on show. They' re usually used for panels that are under valances. If you were wanting a more traditional look you probably need to ceiling mount a valance and put the panels underneath, or mount the valance on the face of the track. The type of ceiling track I am talking about is about 3/4" x 3/4"x 3/4", and you can get them with ball bearing carriers so the drapery slides easily. How much space do you really have above the windows, because a thin rod can be ceiling mounted.

Simplify is always a good strategy with play rooms. The temptation to cover the walls with artwork and posters can add to the visual clutter. I would suggest a larger area rug to ground the space and create a soft place for playing on the floor. A medium colour with a fleck from other hues in the curtains and upholstery will help hide dirt and lint. I think you could definitely cozy it up with a warm wall colour to unify the space. Lastly, closed storage for the toys goes a long way to creating order from the chaos. You will have a lovely space the children enjoy and you find restful.

I would also definitely go white if the windows are on the green wall. Will be much more natural to tie the accent wall with the stark wht contrasting walls. Always a very chic contemporary look. Also very relaxing as opposed to the treatments standing out when you already have your standout feature- the green accent wall. Great white bed you ordered! Then I love all the blue/green/ silver accent advice. I did a similar room in purples/greys/ whites and we used great posted prints of florals with a little oriental flair in nice big mats w frames. You could do florals or nice big botanicals in greens would be very fresh and modern!! White or silver frames or maybe even the shock of black would be cool.

Hi snan - to address your questions: 1 - yes, the lamps work very well. With regard to the height of the larger lamps: do you know how high they would be? If the bottom of the lampshade is even with the top of the pillows that should work. If they are taller than that I think you will be okay with the smaller lamps. Look back again at some of the pictures above to see what I mean. The thing that will look odd would be if the top of the lamps were taller than your headboard. The idea is that when you are in bed reading a book that you want the light to be able to reflect down. As far as the lampshade size goes on the smaller lamps I'm thinking the shorter ones since they don't seem to drop down as far as the larger ones. 2 & 3-Definitely chair by the mirrored bedside locker with one white locker on the other side. Without question. The chair to the left of the bed gave the room life. Use the extra white one in a closet or another room. You don't want to overcrowd your room when you are going for a tranquil setting. 4-Absolutely okay to have bedside tables that don't match and look good in the room. Whether or not you like that is a personal preference though. I would only put the mirrored one next to the bed though if you have the chair next to it. It's how they play off each other that makes it work. If you don't keep the chair next to the bed then I would use both white tables beside the bed. It is also fine that the pictures are off-centre to the wall as long as they are centered to the bed. :)
