Windows Home Decorating Bedroom

What window coverings would you do in this master bedroom?

last year

I have 6 windows in my master, I was thinking rollerblinds with a sheer curtain along the front and possibly a shutter on the big side window. Thoughts?

Depends if you want full blockout and heat retention also ow to manage across French doors. Heavy blockout curtains are good to stop light leaking in and heat leaking out. Sheers are for visual inside and to stop people looking in and filter the sunlight
Curtains can be drawn away from doors and allow opening doors more easily when part or fully closed compared to say a roller blind. Shutters you can angle from sun and overlooking
Comes down to your preference on style and function

We love sheer curtains with a roller blind for blockout, and the shutters will be perfect for the side window. Consider running your Sheers floor to ceiling like we've done in this bedroom design for a contemporary look or opt for a feature curtain rail to add a traditional element to your design.

For me, your bedroom is missing two things - style cohesion and texture. For starters, I would replace the white pillow with two of these: [houzz=] Your bedside lamps are nice, but now with the gray comforter they need a new style: [houzz=] There's an outlet right where a headboard would go, so instead, I like this art over your bed: [houzz=] or if you prefer some color and something quirky: [houzz=] For curtains, see if you like any of these: [houzz=] or [houzz=] or [houzz=] For nightstands, try these: [houzz=] If you decide to paint your wall charcoal gray, be sure to add art with color behind the bed.

I think the first layout is fine. You might want to consider moving the door for the storage room of the master bedroom so that it opens into the hall. That way the kids can use it for overflow storage. Also, that hallway is big enough that I think it could hold a large armour, providing more closet space. (There's no need to sleep in the same room as your clothes, so long as they're not too far off.) Also, don't forget that while the drawing shows kids in double beds, this need not be the case, so there will be more room for furniture (dressers or whatever) in their rooms. Finally, that step to bedroom 4 will not be odd at all. I've seen it in other homes. It looks clumsy in the drawing but it isn't. What you'll see when you come up the stairs is a bedroom door on a slight diagonal. It's only an odd jagged step if you walk like a robot, in straight lines along the wall, which is what your eye is doing on the drawing but you won't do in real life.

no problem, so are you saying that wall is closest, but stronger, do you think it might like a smokey teal? that is very in right now, or is it like the grayed out turquoise on the coverlet? Grey would be a wonderful accent with that. Have you thought of making your headboard? So amazingly simple? Give yourself like a nice padded gray? Could go for a silk or velvet? oh do you have dark hairy people? you know like black retrievers or something? that could be a problem. If you put covered buttons, there is actually a little tool (under $10 does it all for you. really glam it up. do these help? I think i would go with light gray or a variation of the wall color. let me know when you are ready for more. Couple ideas for bedside stands, first 2 less than $100, last one idea for alternative.

I read an interesting comment somewhere, where a lady invited a group of her friends over to lovingly point out all the problems they saw (through fresh eyes) with her home on preparation for sale. She said she was surprised at marks and damage that she had lived with for so long she no longer noticed them. We "owner built" a home previously, and when we came to sell 7 years later, we painted the garage and did those jobs that we had put off, and it became sad to finally see her at her best, at the end, when we could have been living in a completely finished home all that time. I read about a lady who decluttered her home, had it professionally cleaned (build clean, or bond clean) and had a professional styler do her home and she realised just how nice it could be and decided not to sell. :) ta

Thanks I’m hoping I can still achieve this same look at yours, I’m unsure how the roller blinds will mount on the French doors and the louvres.
Is your track on the ceiling?

Roller blinds for doors are mounted in the door frame. Then door can be opened and closed without the blinds being in the way.

Assuming the front balcony is north facing, and the side window is east. I would do shutters on the French doors and the windows that are either side of the doors. Shutters on the other windows as well. My reasoning is, roller blinds will knock back and forth when the windows are open. If you are sleeping with your windows slightly open for ventilation then this can become annoying. Your home lends itself towards a plantation shutter vibe. You can position the shutters for full sun or partial privacy and everywhere in between or completely closed. Roller blinds are restrictive, they are either open or closed. You could always add sheers or full curtains on the side large window if you wish. The balcony shades the front windows. It really depends on your budget.

The sheer curtains are ceiling mounted. Roller blinds can be installed in a number of ways - in the window or door reveal (this is ideal), on the window or door frame, or if building new could install in a ceiling cavity. The roller fabric can be forward rolled or reverse rolled. The will need to be forward rolled for the louvres and you won't be able to open windows whilst roller blinds are down, but you don't generally keep windows open with blinds down anyway as they can bang against the window with the wind.

It's difficult to see in the image, but take a look here- Scandinavian Bedroom — Zephyr + Stone (zephyrandstone.com.au). This is our Scandi Bedroom which has sheers ceiling mounted and a roller blind installed in the window reveal.
