Need professional window help

hace 10 años

This wall of windows has been overwhelming and we are clearly stumped. This is our gray family room that currently has waaay too much light most of the day. We explored curtains in many colors and agreed on PB ivory because they are warmer than the white. Now that they are up, I can't help but feel like they look like bed sheets. We have had professionals here and the drapery they recommend is too pricey. Shades are not the best option because we don't have enough depth for inside mounts. The wall of windows are 108" high. Please share your thoughts.

With base board heat, drapery on a traverse rod is out, especially if you were thinking floor to ceiling. Have you considered roman shades, custom with a neutral, yet patterned fabrics , to alleviate the sheet look. They can be mounted in side each window to help keep the window molding clean.

We would suggest Hunter Douglas blinds/shades. They are great for energy efficient (especially since it is really open, you want to keep the heat or the cold out), green, Child Safe, Lifetime Guarantee etc... It can be a little overwhelming when picking something out, but we highly suggest adding some top/bottom honeycomb shades where you can keep your small top window open (can be closed too) and the bottom ones mostly closed. :)

The benefits of cassette air conditioning units https://www.airconditionersductless.com/ · Based on the fact that cold air falls, cassette a/c units which are mounted on ceilings ensure that the air is well distributed in the room. These air conditioning units have very powerful fans which can ensure that air is circulated in a larger space compared to other air conditioning units. · Because cassette air conditioning systems are usually mounted in the ceiling, basically floating or false ceiling, cassette a/c units do not consume essential space. · The condenser of the cassette air conditioning unit is typically located outside the building. As a result, a cassette a/c unit doesn’t make any noise, and this makes it the perfect choice for businesses and residential buildings. · Another benefit of a cassette air conditioner is its programmable thermostat and variable speed fan. This means that the user can adjust the room temperature, which helps in saving electricity bills. · Cassette air conditioners have been proven to be very energy efficient. The disadvantages of cassette air conditioners · Because cassette air conditioning units are mounted on the ceiling, it means that their compressors are situated outside. In large buildings, the distance between the air conditioning unit and the compressor can be relatively long, and this means that many holes should be drilled in the walls during installation. This can be costly and time-consuming. · If a person is considering to install a cassette air conditioning unit in the office or warehouse, it would mean that the individual needs more than one air conditioning unit. This can significantly increase the cost. · If a person lives in a building with many storeys or runs his or her business in a building with many storeys, the person is not guaranteed that the ceilings in the building will have sufficient space to allow the installation of a cassette a/c unit. If there is no sufficient space, then you can be forced to choose other types air conditioners, which cannot be energy efficient and silent like cassette air conditioners. However, before a person chooses an air conditioner, be it for business or residential building, they should ensure that they seek professional advice as this ensures that they get an air conditioner which suits his or her need.

The type of window, as well as the orientation of the room, are determining factors when choosing curtains. It is also important to consider the light we need in this space as well as the degree of privacy we want. The curtains help to dress anywhere so it is so important that you dedicate time to your choice and we help you in that. ☎️305-699-5589 Free Consultation www.artecblinds.com @artecblinds #blinds #windowtreatments #blackoutcurtains #curtains #interiordesign #interior_and_living #interiordesigner #decor #design #housedesign #homestyle #house #housedecor #homedecor #luxurylifestyle #luxuryhomes #styleathome #apartmentdecor #innovation #remodeling #renovation #roominspiration #roomdecor #love #beautiful #instagood #brickell #miami #realestate #generalcontractors

In this dissertation, we are warned that to renovate a house, so that everyone sarisfecho sits down, it is enough to make some partial feforms and maintain everything that contributes to the personality of the home. If we make such a total change, affecting everything previously existing, it is clear that our home, we cannot feel it easily like ours.

The gabled ceiling makes drapes a challenge. I see what you mean about the white sheets...though I think they will fall better once they've been hung for some time.

You can do shades outside the frame.

I would 'embrace the windows'; the upper would be gorgeous with some stained glass panels made to fit inside each; if you don't want to add color then colorless frosted and patterned would go well. Even if it mimicked the 8 little panes and was in the same glass. Below that I would put real rods, with finials, and do draping curtains. larger swags at the edge sides and more of panels in the middle. If they were mine and my hubby wasn't allergic to potmix, I would put ficus trees or something of the like in front of the windows and some plain panels behind to close at night. The curtains you have now would be fine with something to bring the eye to something other than the curtains. I've seen some others' ideabooks where they deck out windows like this, and it isn't that hard to do a little DIY to make your own window treatments... the big thing with your curtains to me is they look 'unfinished' and there are better window people than me; I am sure someone can tell you how to finish punching up what you have. Good luck.

Roman shades are a challenge because so much of the light comes in through the upper portion... Especially now that the leaves have fallen. We have no shade. Inside mounts would be perfect but again, we don't have the depth.

I have a similar problem, but I have two 150" picture windows in my living room and one 120" picture window in my dining room.

I've beat my head red looking for inexpensive solutions for 14 years.

I like the idea of using plants in front of windows since you get a lot of light. You can have some lower and half way if you add a shelf.

Return for a linen from PB or RH. A weightier fabric will hang better and look less like sheets.

I love your windows and the treatments are not bad. I would love to see you move the tv to the adjacent wall, where that art is hung. The TV does not work in the corner.

Also you should iron the wrinkles out before hanging. They won't "fall out"

These curtains can be hung three different ways... Curious if the pinch pleat method would made it look more impressive. Yes, need to iron. Hanging them took two hours.. And everything out of me, last night.

Curtain panels that pull almost flat when shut are going to give you that "sheet" look. Panels that keep their pleat and fullness even when closed will not do this. It doesn't look like you have enough fullness in the width of your panels to get that look. Definitely need to steam them, but I think you need more fullness.

I am guessing your windows are about twelve feet wide? That means you need at least six of PB' s 50 inch wide panels in order for the curtains to look right when closed. The good news is their silk panels in ivory are on sale this week. Mine haven't arrived yet so I can't comment on quality or color but hope they are okay. Got some curtains from PB once that we're not, but I decided to give them another chance since the sale was so good.
Also if you are going to open and close the curtains every day it would work better to have them rings on them.
