Windows Home Repair Design Dilemma

High window problem

Alessandro Boscolo

3 years ago

Hi, I have been wondering how I can make my bedroom window more usable and practical. They are high on the wall and can't be opened unless we use a ladder or climb on the bed. I was thinking of making them longer but I would basically only gain a foot or so since the roof of the kitchen extension is a foot and a half below the window sill level. Any ideas how I could make them nicer / practical?

This is an old inquery, but in case you are still looking, we are importing German window shades that are designed to work with tilt and turn windows. The shade is mounted onto the window sash and opens and moves along with the window. We offer taut line systems that are top down bottom up in Venetian , Pleated or Roman shades as well as Roller shade options that are wither top down or bottom up. For more information please contact us at info@rs-sylko.com

Problem choosing windows

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??

Hi Nicole, Personally, I'd go for the Bora downdraft extractor, as having a 2.7m window will be such a beautiful feature in your Kitchen. Would you go for something like this if not, an Induction hob and down-draft extractor.

Painting living room with high ceiling

Im hoping for some advice on paint colours for a living room/den that has high pitched ceiling. The house is a new build. Modern barn aesthetic. We are thinking about a different colour in the den to make it feel cosy as the rest of the house will be off white + oak. Are there rules of thumb I should follow? Should the walls and ceiling be painted the same or should I leave ceiling white? Are there different rules when the ceiling is high? The pic shows the dimensions of the den. Both windows go floor up to where the ceiling starts to slope up. Pitch is 45deg. We will a TV on the wall where the SS is and brown leather couch facing Thanks Marcus
