Need help choosing style and color of window treatments

6 years ago

What window treatment style, fabric material and color should I choose for the wall where the 3 sets of french doors are?

I couldn't back up far enough to take one photo of the entire wall where the 3 sets of french doors are, so if it's not a problem you'll have to look at the entire wall in 2 separate photos.

I think a light colored woven wood Roman shade and then is you want more oomph, add floor to ceiling side panels in the living area but not the kithen. Love your home; welcoming!

Susan, I like the woven wood Roman shade ideal and adding side panels to frame and/or unify the many pieces in the room. However when it comes to the panels, how would you deal with the set of French doors that meet right up against the bookshelves in the corner?

Shutters sound like they would be a great addition to your new almost at the beach house. Is it an open concept? If so while you can change things up a bit you'll want to repeat some element and ensure that everything looks great together. Even the rooms you're thinking of putting drapes in might benefit from shutters or wood blinds for both looks and light/privacy control. Also be aware of how these windows will look from the outside. When choosing fabrics look at your existing furniture for inspiration or a piece of existing art or if buying new furniture think about the windows as you do. Everything in the room ties into each other. Ideally you would have swatches and samples of every finish in the room from flooring to window coverings and everything in between including wall colour, area rugs, bedding ect to help make your final decisions easier.

Hi, I know there are so many things to take into account and it's hard to get perspective from a photo. The white you can see is an extension with building paper, and the red is the existing building which is two story. The exterior is wide weatherboard planking, the windows are silver aluminium with very little trim. The doors in the front of the picture are French doors from bedrooms that will open to an enclosed courtyard ( yet to be built of course) The roof will be a light grey/brown but you won't see it much because of the flat roof style. There will be decking and ballustrades covering half of the new extension.

I like @kelly's idea of picking a lovely fresh color of paint for the door. You can then bring it down onto the stair risers. Either a solid color to match the front door, or go wild and add some decorative elements to the risers with stencils. Or think of staining the door a great color and coordinate the stair railings and risers. I have an idea book put together for just such project that might spark some ideas for you. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/16700983/thumbs/Kathryn-Delany-s-Decorative-Stair-Risers

Susan, I really like your idea of woven wood shades. To be clear, you don't think I should add the shades over the kitchen doors. What's your thought about adding panels to the shades to bring in the room as the other designer suggested.
Btw, there's a 70"x70" modern art piece across the room from the doors. That said, do you still think woven wood shades will work?
Here's the oil painting....

I see something simple but elegant here. I would recommend a Hunter Douglas Silhouette in a color that closely matches the trim. Motorized with no cords. Keep the light, clean and open look the room exudes. Don't clutter it with woven woods.

Dear Nob Hill Design, Wow! Thank you for your advice, I'm comfortable ordering silhouettes as they relate closely to the 4.5" Plantation Shutters that are throughout the home, which by the way are the color of the trim. Any advice for the dining room windows are welcomed. Add panels for elegance, idk....?
See picture below of dining room with Plantations.
Question: Should I order Silhouettes for the french doors in the kitchen? As you can see by the picture below it shares the same space.
