Comments (2)I think you might consider blinds mounted to each door. These will offer you privacy, which would be your priority for your master bedroom I suspect. Blinds that look good on the front and back to check out are roller blinds, pleated blinds, Venetian blinds or plantation shutters. There are options listed there for every budget....See MoreBest window covering for large stacker doors?
Comments (9)although i always prefer curtains a 6m wide opening will need either a very light fabric or about 1 m either side to fully pull back to each side where blinds would be able to be raised completely above the window (assuming there's somewhere to attach them) discuss options with a window covering specialist as there are some new options that may suit you better..i also suggest to clarify flyscreening, security and ventilation options for your very wide opening as we found a more flexible and cost effective result with a door height panel of stacked awning windows next to a wide section of stacking doors so that we can open the window for ventilation without opening the doors...See MoreRoller blinds or plantation shutters??
Comments (34)Curtains are coming back in at the local display homes and look very luxurious. Plantation shutters look stylish in the right house but I agree with the comments about the potential to look dated if not a good match for the overall house style. Rollers remind me of schooldays when the teacher set up the projector to show a film while the students struggled to get the blinds to stay down to darken the room, but modern rollers are a simple window covering which can be a good thing if all you want is something that opens and shuts in the background while other features of the room stand out. For something you'll really be happy with you need to be weighing up personal taste, house style, window style, functionality, maintenance, room usage, window orientation, etc. You can choose the trendiest look but if it's a nuisance to live with because it doesn't provide the required light/dark level or privacy or is noisy in the breeze or whatever, it is not the right choice for the purpose....See MorePlantation Shutters or Blinds
Comments (3)Hi Bradley, firstly what a beautiful home you have developed. As a window covering professional, I would pose you a number of questions before giving any advice. So firstly consider what the room is being used for (it may seem obvious to you - but everyone is different), secondly what is the style/concept/mood you are attempting to pull together, thirdly what obstacles are present in the window. All these items a Window treatment specialist would review with you prior to making suggestions. Of course - lastly, what is your budget. To give an example - in the bedroom- you may need it to have a total block out facility for sleep, (Plantation Shutters wont provide total block), or maybe you want to highlight the view (Plantation Shutters are for closing it off), and as you have mentioned - you would have to mount it onto the architraves (would look unprofessional if you stuck up plantation shutters over the archs) and getting to the sash windows would be difficult to open and close the shutters. In your case (my opinion only!) I would look at Roman Blinds for the bedroom (Face Fix above the windows, and over the window architraves ), perhaps with a sheer behind to filter the view, still giving you filtered light during the day - but providing privacy. In the other rooms a roman blind is also applicable (again because of your sash windows face mounted and covering the Archs when closed.) There is a lot to consider - so recommend getting some help!
