problem windows

[davinahan]

Hi,

My name is Davina Hanson and I am new to the forum.

I am having a problem with 2 small windows in a bedroom but there is 1 window on one wall and the other window on another wall. I thought about dressing them with 1 curtain tied back in opposite directions but can't think of how to finish the top whether to frill the top of the curtain or whether to put a soft valance, any ideas? I am self taught so I am not very expert in the design side of things but can sew not too badly.

Thanks.
Davina.

Re: problem windows

Is there any chance you could put up a picture of the windows? Most of us seem to be 'visual' learners...

Re: problem windows

Do you need valances? Sometimes they can overpower small windows and a good heading on the curtains is all that needed. What about pleats , double might be best and finish with a contrast button or cord trim? A nice pole with decorative finials, pinch pleat curtains pulled to opposite sides?

Somone will have other ideas.
