This living room features a stunning squared bay window which adds a lovely character to the room. Shutters make a fantastic addition to bay windows as they open up a range of benefits to the room as well as ensuring that this lovely bay shape is not lost to the window dressing. This custom made window dressing make them the perfect solution for any window no matter the shape - a particularly attractive feature for bay windows which add so much character to a room and where you do not want to loose shape. Other benefits enjoyed by installing shutters to a window include increased privacy, temperature and light control as well as enjoying the luxury aesthetic that shutters provide.

Lots of ideas....couldn't resist adding my two cents. i copied your photos and did a little cut and paste- it's messy, but hopefully gets the main idea across. i'd put your sofa in front of the large book case, chair by the fireplace, tv on the stand on the wall opposite the fireplace - so you can either look at the fire or the tv. Someone suggested using frames of one color for your photos - an inexpensive way to do that would be to spray paint them all a dark color-black goes with everything. Since your shelves are a medium tone wood, display things that are dark or light so that they contrast against the wood. Limiting your display items pallette to a few values usually helps to unify things. (I think that's why so many people want to paint the shelves or put inserts in the back to help your nice things read more clearly...some get lost). If you want to "splurge" -you may consider having a carpenter make a few solid tall cabinet doors to provide a visual break in the shelving. I'm showing 3 doors - 1 on the right side of the fireplace and 2 on the left to leave two open vertical shelves for display on each side - with things arranged to frame the fireplace as the focal point. To add some height to your big vases, consider stacking some books beneath them. Enjoy experimenting untill you get something you're happy with - good luck!

Thanks Judy. I know oak doors and skirting boards will still have to be cleaned but I think there is a bit of leeway with dusting them - dust doesn't show quite so quickly! My windows havnt been finalised yet at all so I have plenty time, i just don't want to feel like im in a timber showroom with oak window frames, skirting, doors and floors when in my living room plus when standing in the hallway there will be the stairs (paint and oak steps), banisters, handrails, and the skirting and surrounds of four doorways. Any other way of getting around it? Must I have skirting boards??!

It makes me cross that people think they have a right to make some quite negative comments on this post. Masmccar76 put these photos on because she thought people would like to see a genuinely lovely transformation of her garden. Instead there have been some downright nasty comments. By all means make comments but keep them constructive. Houzz is all about is sharing ideas, not about being nasty

I added a canvas to your pic so you can see what a long thin one looks like. I think that canvas would be at least 5' long and not sure how I feel about the distribution on the wall..it looks a little like a smile face :). But I do think maybe 3 square ones would work. They would be smaller and I would center it on your space and under the windows. I did yellow and an orange color so you can see the difference. If you are looking for abstract art feel free to check out my profile. Also for my two cents I put shelves where people are not standing and bumping against :)
