Marcia Moore Design White plantation shutters would be a great look for this room. Shutters create a classic, clean, uncluttered feel to any room. They provide interest, easy exterior viewing and privacy when needed. Unlike a patterned fabric treatment, they coordinate with virtually any style, so you can buy new furniture without worrying about coordinating with existing styles and colors.

Anish Motwani Associates hey

paint the window wall dark color - brown or green or any good wallpaper

Go for nice silk curtains

karengretchin Long panels from ceiling to floor on both sides of the window that go to the walls on either side.

lpmenache I love the vibe in this room. I would do a tailored roman shade hung from just below molding or ceiling using a great retro inspired fabric. Panels to the floor will be overwhelming I think. Remove small table in corner and get something cooler mid centuryish

jjdesignkloos Thanks lpmenache! The vibe here is modern bright fun! The ceiling is angled--8' on right to 9' on left--so I don't know where to start the window treatment.

olldbobbi I would look for a wild and crazy area rug, then pull some color from it for a roman shade: [houzz=Knight Frank LTD]
[houzz=Vibrant Family Room - Grace Home Design]
[houzz=Office]

Dytecture Lots of potential for this room.

groveraxle Ooh, yes! What Dytecture said.

Dytecture LOL groveraxle ... that seems to be my latest sayings.

lpmenache Start the roman shade 7 inches from the 8' height.. I like the idea of a cool rug as well.

jjdesignkloos lpmenache--and then would you keep the width the same as it is no? I love the idea of a cool rug also--except with the kids' dining habits!

groveraxle jeanjjk: get a rug like the one in Dytecture's photo and then tell the kids they can only have spaghetti till their dining habits improve.

lpmenache Yes let the shade be the width of the window outside molding. You can get some great looking modern rugs cheaply at Loes, Home depot target etc so you dont have to worry about the kids.

lpmenache actually 2 -3 inches on either side of the window openning now that i look at the picture again.

Lkristine Here is a link to some curtain panels that would look great in here. Especially since it seems like an area rug wouldn't work for you right now, this would be a great way to add a fun pattern. I would paint the walls too if you can..... I would use the "Spa" colored panels. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Contemporary-95-inch-Highlife-Curtain-Panel/6130539/product.html

jjdesignkloos thanks people! i like the ideas of the bright coloured rug--and they do love spagetti! Thanks again re. the window treatment--because of the angled ceiling and no window mouldings, I didn't know how to start.

lpmenache besure to post a pic when you have made some changes
