I not so sure I like the little dinky curtain rods. The problem with the valances is the patio door. Can't put a valance over that. So put valances over the other windows and nothing over the patio door?? Ladies and gents too, please help! I don't want to cover these windows up because I love the natural light but leaving them bare just doesn't seem right either. What have you done in the morning room??
Patio door and other morning room windows:
Roman shades might be an option if you are trying to go for the most amount of light and a slim look.
ReplyDeleteHi TeamMom23,
ReplyDeleteIf I am accurate, the last picture in your blog post is exactly like your morning room!?? If so, I love the idea of keeping that beautiful arched transom uncovered as the focus of the room and use window treatments for the other windows and patio door. I feel the same way you do about the natural lightening. I don't like the short rods in the picture either. They look weird cut short. I would have chosen a longer rod for the entire window and keep them open throughout the day and when I want privacy I would close them up. Once I am absolutely clear about the theme for each room with the color palette I will chose the appropriate blinds for the other rooms in the house. I don't think I am going to use valances for the same reason I described above, if I decide I want privacy, I can at least close the drapes. In the meantime, I would take a picture of your morning room which is absolutely beautiful and visit Next Day blinds for design ideas and splurge in this room only since they are pricey. I have already decided I will use Next Day Blinds for the morning room, my study and bathroom window.

Another thought since your morning room has that large beautiful window: the valances are not a bad idea and you could use roman shades or blinds for the patio door since it is set off to the side from the windows.
DeleteI would build and install valances on the lower windows while keeping the arched window open. I may even add dimensional shades to the windows that will be hidden by the valances.
ReplyDeleteHi Team Mom were building a Jefferson as well. I n fact we are supposed to close next Friday at 9AM. My wife and I are not going to paint before we move in were going to paint one room at a time after we move in and have some time to think about a color scheme. In regards to our morning room our initial thought is to no put any covering on the morning room windows becaue we have a wooded area bordering our lot. But I do like those long drapes in the pictures. Regarding the rest of the windows we have purchased the temporary redi-shades to hang until we pait each room and hang a more permanant covering has well
ReplyDeleteBenefits of layering hard and soft treatments allows window treatments designers the opportunity to stagger sales to a customer if budget or timing is a concern. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful house. You designed the other rooms gorgeously. I wouldn't wonder if you design the remaining others just as great. Anyway, for your patio door, I would suggest that you use curtains. You can leave it open during the day to let the natural light come in, and close it when you need privacy.
