We have a picture window that doesn’t open and a normal window that does in our bedroom.

Yeah was thinking a larger mirror ....we have nothing done with the room yet. Afraid to ...in case I get it wrong. Was thinking of pulling the sofa out from the wall a little at an angle. Maybe wingback chair near fireplace...want to keep it kinda open and minimal....maybe console table to the left of the mantal ...or move the tele all together ..I dunno. The room isn't that narrow... Its about 12 feet wide at either side of the mantal

Hi, It looks like you have two tilt and turn windows on either side. This restricts a lot of treatments if you want to keep the space open for furniture or window seat..etc. You could put pre-tensioned pleated blinds on each glazed section. These can be operated top down or bottom up. The problem with pleated blinds is that they are very functional but they will not dress the window very well, but perfect for privacy and heat and light control. Kind Regards Anita

Problem choosing windows
Q

We are currently renovating our kitchen. There are two small windows in the room - we would like to convert one into French doors to allow the kids to run in and out to the garden. For The other, we really like the idea of a full length window to frame the view of our garden. We would like this one to be non-opening so that the view is uninterrupted. The problem now is that we wouldn't have any opening windows in the room to allow for ventilation. Any ideas??

Patio doors will be my only opening in my kitchen, I will have to open door if I want to leave air in, fine in summer but not winter, I dont want side panels with opening as I think this will take from look!! I can also go for smaller patio doors with separate window next to it but i prefer the look of larger patio doors but don’t like the idea of opening pati doors for ventilation???

This is ours. It works well but both windows are on our longest wall. Not sure which wall you want yours on. Hope this gives an idea. The picture window is purely for light and view.
