Easily fixed! And curtains tend to be cheaper than blinds/shutters etc so think of it as money saving lol. Doesn't restrict furniture either as you can still have the curtains fall behind the lounge Lindsay & Ben (Building a Noosa 26 at Wallis Creek, Gillieston Heights) https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=81467&p=1524570#p1524570 Re: Coral Homes Avoca 25 in Gainsborough Greens 98May 30, 2016 11:35 am Ben+Lindsay We've made our media room window smaller (which I think was originally the same size as yours, now only 900mm high) as they wouldn't allow us to get rid of it completely... but we are planning to put full wall floor to ceiling block-out curtains along that wall so it will have that 'movie theatre' feel.
