I need help with window treatments

NotSharknado · May 2014

I still have yet to decide on what I want to cover my kitchen window(standard size) and patio doors.

I do not want traditional blinds. I want to class up the joint but don't know where to start.

What are those shade thingies called that have a pattern on them and they look fancy?

What are these called? Shades?

Love roman shades. We have them on our deck doors and we can still see outside. Lots of light comes through.

Personally I think thick white wooden blinds looks really clean/classy

My first pick was white thick shutters for window and door but I'm worried about the kitchen looking too sterile. Idk, I'm torn.

Roman shade on the window and plantation shutters on the doors?

You think that would look okay?

My only caution with doing the shutters is that depending on the clearance from window to sink, they can get a lot of splash back and get gross. What color are your cabinets ? I like the roman shades

How do you guys feel about Blinds.com?

It looks like you window may be wider. I'm torn but I can't sit on this much longer because the sun shines through all day past 5 o'clock and it's getting way hot and the air is non stop when it's on because so much sun!

I love the first idea @MrsBadKat‌ , where do I shop for that? That's my biggest issue, I don't know where to shop.

I think shutters would look tidier than wood blinds. You don't have the cords hanging everywhere and I hate when blinds are pulled up crooked. Same goes for any blinds (roman too). I think white shutters would look really crisp with the colours you have in your kitchen.

@NotSharknado you would need to either make the cornice or have it made. It's really not difficult. Have someone build the box and then cover it with batting & fabric, using a staple gun. You could probably find some really awesome fabrics.

Oh so I can't just call a company and get a quote?

That's a great idea!

Yes. you could call an interior design firm and they would probably make them.

This is probably the better for me since I'm not crafty. Like at all.

I have the fabric with the wooden blinds. Do you have a calico corners? www.calicohomecorners.com

That said. I would do plantation shutters. Much easier to clean!!
