    Do you have photos you could share here? That would help for ideas. :)

    Wow that must be a lovely room. Are all the windows identical? If not I would not feel constrained to decorate them all the same way. What is the style of your furnishings? Is this a very large room? Pictures would help. In my house I use a mixture of shutters and curtains and some of the windows also have cloth pull up shades.

    If the room is treated as a Great Room with different areas for sitting and dining you could do a mix of treatments with the same materials/textures. Otherwise, I personally would stick to the same treatments on all.

  • Mary, What a wonderful decision you have to make. Yes, in my new house with a 24 x 24 ft great room, the builder's plan had a single window in addition to the patio door ... so I had to pay for 2 more windows but that's all I have. Obviously you have a beautiful older home which you should appreciate!


    Some quick tips from my article, Steps to Picking the Right Window Treatment:


    1. Identify the purpose for your window treatments and as someone mentioned already, your room probably has different activity areas so each one may have a different need.
    2. Set a budget for your window coverings as they can get pricey which I know first hand because I love plantation shutters.
    3. Then you're ready to go shopping for your window treatments ... something I need to do in a few weeks once the rest of my house is under control, LOL.
