Before replacing your curtains as this can be quite expensive for such a large window, if they are in good condition, add a band of extra fabric to the bottom in what ever suits you, your existing curtain track can then be moved up to the ceiling for good looking full length curtains without the large round eyelets, could save you a lot of money, I would look at replacing/removing the sheers cheers

I’m trying to find an entrance handle similar to below in polished brass with matching knocker. I can get this set from America but it’s satin brass and they don’t have matching knockers. Anyone know of suppliers that might be able to help? I’ve had no luck, can only find more rounded style.

With your design you could install doors in hall. I have circled on plan. (Two options) However the hall is long, so someone seeing right through to family room,should not be a problem. With furniture, draw furniture to scale on your house plans. Then you can work out what size furniture will fit in your space, and where would be the best position for furniture. For example if there is a television in family room, where would that be? Then which way would lounge face. Etc. don't buy furniture before you work out where it will be positioned.

I have received magzo custom magnetic door screen . The size of the door curtains is suitable for my door, and it is very convenient to get in and out, even if I hold something in my hand. The most important thing is that I need't to get up in the middle of the night to fight the mosquitoes anymore! It is different from those fixed-size magnetic door curtains, which may not be the right size. I found two websites that can customize magnetic door screens, magzo.com and fowong.com. I bought it from magzo, because I saw this brand’s evaluation on Amazon is also great! This is a highly recommended product!
