You can do different window treatments in one room (which can also help to define areas), and choosing the same fabric or colourway can help tie them together. The 2 narrow windows could have curtains to one side of each window (ie drawn to left of left window, right of the right window. There is a lot going on in the extended room so how you dress the windows will also be affect on the rest of the decoration (eg are you having a feature wall like the display house), your style/colour of furniture etc, will help decide if you want the window treatments are to blend in or be a feature.

Oh dear ... more to think about I wouldn't have even thought about not being able to pull the curtains all the way back in the dining room. As for the look of the area ... we're going to go with a lighter sort of theme. Lighter timber furniture (if I can find any - it doesn't seem to be in vogue atm), I really like the light blues and light greens ... but I'd say we'll sway towards blue as DH doesn't like green. The walls are all a light neutral tone (Dulux Male full strength and window frames/skirting/doors in the 1/4 strength - similar to Hog Bristle but with a redder undertone rather than yellow). Kitchen is light neutral colours as well. We have a blank canvas with the room as I don't have the furniture for that area as yet. This area is the family room, room where we'll entertain, eat all the family meals etc ... so I suppose the heart of the home. The rumpus room will be the children's playroom ... but I'd like to blend/carry through the same sort of theme with the window coverings. The first picture Stormy has posted in this post has the sort of look I would like with the blues and creams. viewtopic.php?p=668186#p668186 ~ trying to build our dream home by the sea ~ Hi there I'm looking for a independent company for a expert report on my blinds ,sheers & plantation shutters I'm in Melbourne 0 9225 Hi everyone, Newbie renovator here, after some advice for combining our family room in the picture and the alfresco and make a larger family room.
