Casement windows with 8 ft. ceilings

Casement windows with 8 ft. ceilings

I live on the lake and have large casement windows in 2 rooms (8'3" H x 7'8"). My ceilings are 8 ft. My floor plan is very open (can see all rooms from another).

What type of window treatment would you recommend? I presently have roman shades that are the same color as the walls. I do not need privacy, and do not want to cover or block the view.

I have attached a picture.

Hi Karen

Looking at your dining room if the color theme runs through the rest of your rooms. Then I would pick a fabric that would add a bit more life to your windows.

I think a rich red/burgundy fabric would go well with the furniture your have there. Just my opinion so don't worry if you prefer something else.

As to styles I think you could mix with roman shades in the kitchen. then curtains on a dark wooden pole in the dining room. you could have them to dress the window and tie them back with tassel tie backs.

So the same fabric with a mix of curtains and romans. The full length windows with curtains and the short windows with the roman shades.

Best regards

Lee

Thank you for the suggestions. I like the idea of red/burgundy fabric. Also wasn't sure if I needed to use valance treatment or full curtain treatment since I have only 8 ft. ceilings.

Thanks again!

No problem karen a top treatment is a personal choice and can work well on some windows. If you go for one make sure its not too deep. I sometimes stick peices of paper up over the window. Then stand back and see how it looks at different heights. Its better than guessing when your not sure.

Regards again
