PH Interiors, LLC This is a very tight space but I can see you want some more oomph there. Instead of window treatments, consider wallpaper on the window wall. A colorful pattern would work great, especially beacuse so little of it will be seen. Keep scale in mind because of that - stick to a medium sized pattern - could be a floral or geometric - something that will pop against the beautiful shutters.

dunblak Do the shutters swing open or just the louvers? Is there a view? What kind of a feel is desired?

dcampbell16500 Thank you, PH, I love that idea! Dunblak, the shutters swing open so there is access to open/close the windows. My view is a small landscaped courtyard and then my neighbor's house. I want to warm up the space ... We eat most of our meals here, so a cozy look.

viratrevino I think some very narrow, floor to ceiling panels on the ends and between each window (4 total), will give the room some punch

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design For a cozier look, I'd put wallpaper on the three walls, not just the window wall.

dcampbell16500 Should I blend the color of the walls with the wallpaper or do something contrasting?

Carolyn Albert-Kincl Design I' look for a paper that combines the colors you've used in the area.

Barbara Griffith Designs I would make one long, lined, faux Roman shade (that is stationary) in a great print, waterfall style, certainly not a stripe. Have this right up to the crown molding and the bottom folds (at least 3 folds @ 1-1/2" high per fold. The bottom should just cover the top frame of the shutters, and the sides 1/2" from side walls. Coordinate your table linens accordingly, maybe a smaller print or stripe of colors in Roman shade.

Jonathan Hress Design This may sound too traditional, But I would do three gathered swags. Maybe in a red and white toile or a multi colored fun but elegant fabric.

Barbara Griffith Designs Swags may just be a little too fussy for this small area..I think a more tailored look would be better. I am a wallpaper lover and have quite a bit in my home from grasscloth to patterns, but in this instance I personally, probably would not use it.

dunblak A small patterned wallpaper sounds right and a tailored valance. I, personally, like light and if the courtyard is landscaped, I would replace the plantation shutters with narrow folding shutters to access the view.

peaceofmind very beautiful house you have. I would use the same swags/valance for both the nook area and the windows in the kitchen for decoration purpose.
