3 windows on one wall, do I use the same treatment?
Question by imgwtwfan: 3 windows on one wall, do I use the same treatment?
2 windows 1 slider on one wall (the slider is in the middle) for dining room & living room, should the same treatment be used for all 3 or is different ones OK? Privacy is an issue as well.

Answer by Kos
Well It depends on how the rest of the house is done.
But Im wondering what treatment your talking about.
If you mean like blinds or things like that.
For the most part the answer would be yes
You want the wall to flow along (If you get my drift)
If you want to change anything make sure the windows are the same but the slider can be different. Or you could add some of the treatment from windows to the slider to bring it together.
If you ment something different e-mail me
Good Luck

Q&A: What window treatment situation would you suggest on two close windows?
Question by Stephanie Roynestad: What window treatment situation would you suggest on two close windows?
I have three “standard” windows in my living room. I haven’t measured them, I can’t find my tape measure, but they are probably 3 feet wide by 4 feet tall. Two of them are close together (with maybe an inch or two between) and the other one is by itself, all on the same wall. What would you suggest I do about curtain panels and rods? I don’t know if there’s enough room on the two windows that are close to use two rods. Would it look funny with one LONG rod? If I did one long rod, should I use just two panels, one for each window, or four panels, two for each window? I was planning on doing two panels on the one window by itself. I am really not good at style and decor! We’ve had nothing but $ 2.99 blinds on our windows for 3 years!

Answer by Sword Lily
One long rod on the two windows would look fine. The closer you put the rod to the ceiling will make the window look larger. Myself, I would probably use sheers because I am not a fan of drapery. I would fill the rod with a bunch of coordinating color sheers. Use whatever colors match your decor and hang them alternating, antique white and beige, for example. Or pick two colors that are opposites from your decor like purple and white.
If you need privacy at the window, hang bamboo blinds.
This pic shows what I mean by hanging the colors alternating only i would do this all the way across the rod.

Window treatment ideas?
Question by Samantha: Window treatment ideas?
We bought a new house couple months ago and the house has 13 windows, it’s crazy and we decided to buy some roman blinds for the rooms that way we don’t have to put up any curtains and bought some white wood blinds for the livingroom, family room and kitchen area. Now I was thinking about putting valance ( I think that’s what they’re called, the top part only) over the bay window and maybe some light curtains on the rest of the windows. I wanted some ideas, also can you leave it alone and not put any curtains since we have these nice wood blinds or its must to cover them up? The hardest thing is the bay window so far..

Answer by Morgan
One of the newest trends in design is to leave the windows uncovered! It lets light in & is very uncluttered. The only rule is that you only leave windows open where people aren’t looking in on you. So if your bathroom or bedroom faces the street or your neighbor’s yard–then cover those up. (Frosted windows look cool in bathrooms. You can buy sheets of window “frosting” at any hardware store. It’s easy to put on.)
Just do standard flat panel curtains in a really great fabric. You can easily make your own curtains even if you don’t sew using hot glue or heming tape & an iron.
If you can, leave the bay window open. They’re so pretty!

I love the look of Hunter Douglas Silhouette blinds. They also roll completely into the header for a clear view of your window for the days you want to just open everything up and look out your windows.

What can I put up as window treatment on vertical blinds?
Question by _: What can I put up as window treatment on vertical blinds?
Best answer:
Answer by Kathy P
I have verticals on french doors in my den. To soften the look, I made two stationery panels and put them on either side. This allows me to still open the door and when the verticals are open they are hidden behind the stationery panel.
You could also put a valance up but for anything you do you need to remember that the track for the verticals comes out approx. 6-7 inches, so you would need a rod that has at least that depth.

Q&A: Oversized Foyer Window Treatment?
Question by Stacey S: Oversized Foyer Window Treatment?
I have a large window above my entryway door. The window faces west and we want to install a covering that will block out the sunlight. If I install drapes, do they have to extend all the way to the floor, or can they stop at the base of the window? We have double doors and the window is basically as wide as the doorway, nearly as tall as the doorway and has an arched top that is not a separate window. We want to cover the entire window and also have a window covering that will allow us to open the window as much as possible.

I would use PVC pipe for a curtain rod, and make the curtains to fit just the window itself. If it is possible to use a tension rod you could do that.
If it is a really big window how about a shower tension rod and paint it what ever color you want .

HOME DECOR – What type of blinds/window treatment should I use for the window in my front door?
Question by J A: HOME DECOR – What type of blinds/window treatment should I use for the window in my front door?
I have an exterior (front) door with some glazing/a window in it, approx 24″ x 36″ in size. For privacy/security reasons I need to cover over this window at night. I haven’t yet been able to find anything suitable – light enough, easy enough to open, easy to install on the door. Does anyone make blinds or covers specifically for this purpose? Or has anyone come up with a DIY solution?
Best answer:
Answer by Elspeth
I’ve seen some blinds advertised for doors that are encased in two panes of glass. They don’t need dusting. They can be pulled up to enjoy the view or lowered to provide privacy. I’m not sure what company makes them, but I think I saw it on HGTV.
A DIY solution: You could hang drapes across the top of the door with tie backs that could be drawn at night. Sorta like a victorian parlor treatment.
Hope that helps.

Question by sharidanmcc: what color should my window treatment be?
I painted my room carribean sunset, which is basically a soft pastel yellow, and i have no idea what my window treatment should be? i was thinking about sheers but im still not sure whta color it should be! please help
Best answer:
Answer by Todd M
What type of room is it? If it’s a bedroom, select a contrasting pastel color. Green or blue would be nice. If it is a living room or dining room, go with a similar color. Not the same color, but something in the same family – a shade or 2 darker.

Q&A: arched sunburst window back door window treatment?
Question by : arched sunburst window back door window treatment?
I have a steel back door that has an arched / half-moon / sunburst window . Approx. 37″ high, 24″ wide. I would like to cover it for some privacy from neighbors. The half-circle is causing me a problem and don’t know what to do ? Any ideas ?
Best answer:
Answer by inmate
You can buy spray paints to tint, stained glass looking coatings to stick on. Check the Hardware or home supply store.
Another option would be self sticking window films that come in frost types and “stained glass” types. The link below is some that I found at Home Depot. Cut it to size, very carefully, and then just stick to glass.

I’m looking for window treatment ideas for our sidelight windows. ?
Question by Panda02: I’m looking for window treatment ideas for our sidelight windows. ?
We have two sidelight windows and I would like a little more privacy. It creeps me out that people can walk up to the door and see all the way into our living room. Other than wood blinds, do you have any suggestions? Are the sheers with the tension rods kind of outdated or is that still used a lot? Thanks!
Best answer:
Answer by Juan M
I have 2 sidelights next to my front door, both are about 6 ft tall by 8 in wide & are clear glass, starting at a few inches above the floor. I would like to cover them to add a little ‘something’ to my foyer but also because it drives me crazy that anyone walking in front of or up to the house can see directly in, all the way into my family room which is behind the foyer.
I was originally going to do the ‘traditional’ sidelight sheers that are sort of bunchy the top & bottom rods, but then thought perhaps that was a dated look. I know some people do blinds, but we don’t have blinds on any of our other downstairs windows .
