Browse Forums Window Furnishings 1 Aug 30, 2013 11:53 pm Hi again - Another window furnishing question. Our master bedroom has one of the wide, high up windows that has the bed underneath. 3010 mm wide X 600mm high I am bouncing around ideas on what and how to furnish it???? Initially I was going to have shutters - but I like a really dark room to sleep in - and whilst the window is up the side of the house - south facing - I still think shutters will let too much light in for me. So what I am now thinking is a roller blind - but with a lovely textured fabric - that I would use to block the light - and curtains either side, or maybe in a soft floaty type of fabric that could run across the back of the bed??? My BIGGEST question is - "what is the maximum width I can have for a roller blind??" Beecause the drop is very short - I was wondering if I coculd have it the full 3010mm?? Anyone care to weigh in on this discussion - and if they have this type of window?? How have they furnished it? Any pics would be welcomed (Sorry I haven't mastered posting pics yet - getting there ) Cheers Sandy Building the "Symphony Grande" with Masterton Homes If I ever remember to update it - check out my blog http://fernadell.blogspot.com.au/ Re: what window furnishings for skinny wide window above bed 2Aug 31, 2013 8:19 am I'll be interested in the responses too as we will also have the same type of window above our bed, although not as wide as yours - you lucky duck! I've been thinking of having either a roller blind or honeycomb/cellular blinds in a block out fabric. So hard to decide!

However there is a limited number of materials which can be turned the other way to make a bit wider. I would check with the blind companies. I have short wide windows above my bed and have wooden venetians there. I find they block out plenty of light and they look good too Re: what window furnishings for skinny wide window above bed 5Mar 17, 2014 3:55 pm debbiedecor I know that most roller blinds only go to 300cm wide because that is the fabric width.
