At first I was thinking you could do full length drapes that would pull off the windows, but with the size of the piece of art, there's no room for the drapes to pull off the two smaller windows. The question is, would you be comfortable with something like a linen sheer that would always be in front of the window? If so, then that would soften the windows and add some character to your room. You can get linen or linen blend fabric in a double width so you could have seamless draperies to cover the whole expanse of wall and turn the corner with an elbow joining your rods. I think a dark rod would be nice because it would repeat the dark floor colour. Do connect with a drapery workroom to get the best options for drapery hardware and the perfect fabric. I think you should choose white so the quality of light in the room won't be altered, and you'll have a nice fresh look matching your windows and blinds. If you want a colour, then I'd suggest a very pale blue.

Actually EKTORP is a great option for a budget sofa. You can also get a wide range of slipcovers through a company called www.bemz.com

are floor cloths out of style? That would be customizable and just wipe up to clean

Are the blinds of good quality...thinking, you could send them back and have the tapes changed to a color.

Thank you to all of your suggestions! We are in the midst of a whole bathroom re-model and once we are all set with that I will move on to my window coverings for downstairs :)

Nice dark drapery rods, with white or ivory sheers or sheer linen drapes would look nice.
