Help Me Choose Curtains & Window Things! 🪟

I’m about to move into our new/first house!!šŸ˜

SO exciting, and this big beautiful window is my favorite part- I just want to make the most of it!

What are your ideas and opinions??

The big window is in a rather small living room. I love the idea of a bold colored, linen curtain… but for convenience purposes it’d really make sense to get a pretty (maybe patterned?) blackout curtain. For heat and for movie watching during the day🤣

The other open window with the flower tray below it outside (which I LOVEšŸ’–) is in the kitchen.. and I really want to shower and frame it with houseplants! Should I still do curtains around it??

Does anyone not have blinds and regret it? Bc I can’t stand blindsšŸ˜…

Share all your thoughts and ideas!!!

I too have shades. Roman shades in my fancy windows in my last house. While pulled up, they just looked nice. And while down, so cute. You can’t pay yours decide if you’d like them patterned or not
