window dressing ideas

4 years ago

We would like to have curtains along our front window but the ceiling is lower than the top of the window and has moulding along it so I can’t see how it can be done without looking a bit strange from the outside. Any ideas? Many thanks

How odd! Could you remove the coving?

Unfortunately not. I think it hides pipe work for the flat upstairs

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

Okay, this is a kitchen but it has the same window/door layout. I agree with your idea of doing Roman blinds for the window and curtains for the door And some other photos

Dressing 2 Sash Windows

Hi. I don't think a curtain/s in the middle will work as you'll have the radiator either side plus a potential issue with the poles? Why not try Romans (if they fit, as i can't see the inside of the window frame!) and a single curtain either side? Rather than use tiebacks so they're draped across the window just use a holdback similar to the pic so they're held back instead. This one obviously has a pelmet but you could add poles which just overhang the top of the window slightly

I'm looking for advice/suggestions for dressing multiple windows. We have 2 sets of 3 large windows on either side of the living room and unsure whether curtains or blinds would work best and how to best manage the set of 3. The house is a new build and fairly contemporary style. Any suggestions would be great!!

I wonder if Roman blinds would be a better option. They could sit within the window?

I’m not a fan of pelmets, but I wonder whether it might be a solution for you? You could have a curtain rail across the window recess immediately below the coving, then a pelmet above to hide the rail and the odd top of window arrangement.

Thanks all. Husband is not a fan of Roman blinds but they might be a solution. A simple pelmet may work and look ok internally I wonder if that and Roman blinds may work (aesthetically from outside) or may look too busy.. ?

Another vote for Roman blinds installed directly in the recess of window, behind the dropped ceiling area. From the outside, it would look like normal Roman bling (as they will cover a bit of the window and hide the pipes cover) and from the inside, they will be hidden behind the pipes. And easy access to pull them up/down with the chain.
