kro9o You need to create two unique spaces, two options are a free standing long, waist high cabinet parallel to the window with sofas on either wall facing each other, coffee table on an area rug in the middle. Or if you need access to the window (cause maybe its a sliding door?), put your couch facing the window with a narrow sofa table behind it and another seating area, a matching couch or two chairs with an end table in between, on the wall to the right. With either option your eating area will be defined. Good luck!

Sherri Fitzgerald The room looks almost square by the picture. I did a floor plan that I would use to maximize the window and view. Not sure where the doorways are or what furniture you have exactly but this is a start. Let me know if it would work.....

Julie Thome Draperies, Inc. When it comes to putting in drapes, I would recommend ceiling mounted drapery , 2 layers, one a sheer layer, and then the other blackout drapes, as in hotels... Ripplefold heading s would look good, cut down on amount of fabric needed and stack well.

Sherri Fitzgerald Julie do you have a picture of drapes done that way?

Julie Thome Draperies, Inc. Here is a picture of the sheer version......you could also do this with a blackout type drape too.

essil Thanks everyone for helping me, it looks good! The idea of the ceiling mounted drapery fits in perfectly and I absolutely love it. I can't wait to have them put in. Thank you very much.
