What type of french door window treatment would look good in a room that has white window shutters?
Question by Curious Me: What type of french door window treatment would look good in a room that has white window shutters?
My family room has white window shutters. My dilemma is what type of window treatment to install for my french doors which are in the same room. I don’t want to use something that will clash with the white shutters.

Answer by c_kayak_fun
Why would you want to put “window treatments” (curtains?) on a French door? The purpose of a French door is to let light pass through so I don’t understand why you would want to block that or clutter up the door with useless “decor.”. If you absolutely need something over the glass for privacy, the only thing I’ve ever seen that looked decent on French doors is top and bottom rod-shirred sheer or lace in ivory or white. Since your shutters are white, use white.

what kind of window treatment doesn’t require a screw?
Question by blah: what kind of window treatment doesn’t require a screw?
I just moved into an apartment complex where we can’t put screws in the wall. They have horizontal blinds in the window in my room, but they are quite old and terrible and offer little privacy. Are there any ways to hang window treatments that don’t involve screws or nails into the wall? What kind of windows or coverings are possible?
Thanks

Buy tension rods at the store, costs are $ 3 up to 10 depending on size. These rods have rubber caps that don’t mar the walls. You can hang anything from these rods. Look at the website http://overstock.com for cheap curtains, drapes and sheers

What is a cheap, easy window treatment for a rounded window?
Question by EB7: What is a cheap, easy window treatment for a rounded window?
I have a regular square window that has a half circle window on top of it. Any suggestions for a window treatmment for the rounded window?
Best answer:
Answer by starlight_940
Maybe just try a valance that covers the bottom half of the square window. It sounds like a pretty window. I wouldn’t want to take away from the already nice look of it by piling a bunch of material onto it.

What kind of window treatment won’t my dogs destroy?
Question by aavery29@sbcglobal.net: What kind of window treatment won’t my dogs destroy?
We have curtains on our picture window and the dogs are constantly wrestling, getting wrapped up in them and tearing them down. We’ve had vertical blinds before and they stick their noses through them and mess them up too. I imagine mini blinds they’d do the same thing to. Should we just board up the window, or does someone have a suggestion?
Best answer:
Answer by Karen L
Cast iron shutters, maybe. There is no conventional window treatment that a dog can’t wreck. Mini-blinds could be damaged with one good swipe of a paw. If you can’t train the dogs or crate them so they stay out of the window area when you’re not around, then leave the window uncovered unless you are right there to prevent them from messing with them

Can you help me find a window treatment?
Question by Gypsy Girl: Can you help me find a window treatment?
I’m looking for something that will let plenty of light in my room, allow me to see out, prevent people from seeing in, and block drafts from the window. Is there something available that can do all that?

Answer by think_global
I know a lot of people do not like blinds but they are really the only things that can do all that. These days, you can get blinds made out of a lot of different materials, including wood etc. There are stores that sell only blinds for the best selection. Check the web. Here is one link below. Good Luck!

Q&A: What is a great window treatment for a window with a hemisphere top?
Question by jessiebellduncan: What is a great window treatment for a window with a hemisphere top?
I have a window that is a regular size, but the top is shaped like a hlf circle. I have no idea what to do to cover it. Any ideas?
Best answer:
Answer by metallichick31
I have the same problem. I’m leaning towards a swag hanging loosely to either side from the center. I have a roman shade which hangs from the bottom of the half-circle (rectangular part). I like the look of verticals best, but the swag is still the best way to go as the treatment for the top, regardless of what you decide for the rectangle.

Hello, I bought some drapes from a second hand store and sewing them all together. I added a second fabric at the bottom for length because they were too short but they are beautiful and they work. You could buy inexpensive drapes and do the same thing. Good luck.

Q&A: What type of window treatment to use for higher than average windows?
Question by Nancy A: What type of window treatment to use for higher than average windows?
I have 2 windows in my bedroom that are 48″ W by 36″ H. The sill is about 55″ off of the floor. I do need them covered completely at times for privacy. I feel that floor length would look odd since there is so much space below window. They seem a little bare w/only a mini blind or roman shade.
Best answer:
Answer by B G
You could use shudders or blinds, but I really think that using floor length curtains isn’t a bad thing. I use floor Length curtains in my basement, and to me, it feels less like a basement because it ‘tricks the eye’. You could also put a dresser underneath the window to make it look as though the window isn’t as high as it really is.
Good Luck

Suggestions for Contemporary Window Treatment for Palladian window.?
Question by nonna_barbara: Suggestions for Contemporary Window Treatment for Palladian window.?
I have 2 windows plus a door to my lanai in my 3rd floor FL master bedroom. One of the windows is a large Palladian window. I am totally stumped on what window treatments to use on the windows. I have beautiful water views that I want to be able to see. The only reason for a treatment is privacy in the evening and heat reduction in the summer. I do not need a covering for the door (plenty of privacy).
My decorator wants me to install 3″ Plantation shutters. My furniture is a mix of antiques, including a canopy bed. Floor is porcelain tile and I will be hanging lots of original rather contemporary artwork.
I don’t want the window to take over the room, plus I feel I need something softening due to hard flooring and mostly dark wood furniture (cherry, mahogany, pine, walnut, etc). I have allergies so I can’t add area rugs or anything that will catch a lot of dust.
Does this sound impossible? I would love to hear ideas for unique window treatments.
Best answer:
Answer by M1Lithium
The plantation shutters look like the best/most common solution, probably because it will work. Do the Shutters have to be dark wood? Could they be painted? Or Even Faux painted, they could even have a mural on the face that appears when they are closed, even a mural of the View out the window.
