you need to consider thermal needs, privacy issues, light control, noise control, decorative preferences, size of window, room available around and above window, shape of window, budget...that is why a professional window coverings expert is the best to assist.

I am no expert, but it appears (from the wood, shape and handles) to be a danish teak dresser - they date from around the mid-late fifties and sixties. Don't think they are particularly rare (check for makers mark eg) Borge Mogensen/Sorborg Mobler?), but they are lovely, and very on-trend (similar new version by West Elm sells for $1099). Didn't find one exactly like yours on ebay, but similar vintage ones listed start at around AU $550-$600 and go up from there. A great thrifting find!

Hi hi North West, can you run your ducting in ceilings or floors? Thx

Hi David, gorgeous house, I think a pure white planter would carry on the theme of your colours and look stunning , you could use succulents, sansivera, for a modern contemporary look, a curved barrel style pot would look beautiful
