Can you combine floor length drapes and window shades on different windows in one room?

Question by samdollylama: Can you combine floor length drapes and window shades on different windows in one room?
My bedroom has two sliding doors to the patio for which I already have gorgeous silk draperies. I added two windows and don’t want to go to the expense of getting silk draperies for two small windows. Besides, I think it would be too much fabric. Has anyone seen two different types of window treatments in one room?

As long as they go together,not necessarily match but go together, I like it better.

If your silk drapes are a solid color, you could do floral or striped roman shades, picking up on the color of the silk.If the silk is floral or stripe ,use a solid color shade.

If privacy is an issue I would go with blinds.You can let in light without giving up your privacy.They come in so many colors today.Those I would match to the wall color so they don’t really stand out.
