I'm deciding on either roman shades, stain glass, or shutters

I am a huge shutter fan. They are a timeless classic in my book :)

Need help with my dining room
Q

I think the lamp above the table is too big and hides part of the picture behind, which is a very nice one. I would prefer a more technical lamp, maybe a rail with some spotlights, possibly suspended. A carpet is a good idea, but I would definitly not put it under the table, because then even more objects would be cluttered in only one half of the room, the carpet should instead lie on the left half of the room in front of the table, so that it is not covered with furniture. It should pick up the style of the picture on the wall. My first idea would be a carpet I own myself, it fits quite nice to the picture: Ligne Roset - Menhir And I would prefer a white dining table, because the colour of the chairs would make a better contrast, the dark wood of table and floor is quite heavy.

Hi Ella, wow, that looks like a real challenge... The really low "Kniestock" together with your size doesn´t work well. I think you need to move the kitchen pretty far into the room to be able to properly move around and operate the kitchen. For instance if you imagine standing in front of the sink - if i read the floorplan correctly, if you move just a little bit to the right, you´ll bump your head into the angled wall. In addition, the whole area below the angled wall is actually not usable for a worktop area, because it´s just too low. Even if you place storage room there, it´s not really comfortable to reach. Can you add some more picture of the rest of the room? I think you need a complete layout including dining area and living room area and not only focus on the kitchen. Cheers, TH

What colour/fabric for soft furnishings
Q

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

Kitchen/dining room wall
Q

Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna

I love stained-glass windows but I would not choose them for this kitchen. I think shutters would look awesome, though.

The half shutter is a cool idea. The other two options are lame.

Those plantation shutters look pretty but are a nuisance if you want to open them. Not enough space.

If the shade was the type you could lower from the top...I would think it would be fine. I like the option of being able to look out the window with the low shutters

A relaxed roman would be more practical here. Because your window is small your faucet is in the center of the window pane, you may have difficulties opening the shutters up to open your window.

Shutters just above the water area will always be splattered.

Roman shade. Cleaning shutters in a kitchen is maintenance.

I love shutters, but for your kitchen I think Roman shades would be a more complimentary choice.

Window coverings behind the sink WILL get splashed, so I would not recommend fabric. Get something that can be wiped clean. I love the shutters. I'd also consider 2" white faux wood blinds. They look like all wood, but are a combination of wood and vinyl, which can be good for areas that are around water.

I just finished our kitchen renovation and considered EVERY option. Shutters were my choice but opening them was very clumsy. I did not want any fabric, roman shades or otherwise...too much upkeep with splashes.I ended up with a solar material flat roman shade. It is textured in the cabinet colors and granite tho little texture...just enough to make it interesting. It has a nice valance, nice folds, no hardware and just pushes up and down by hand. It blocks out an unattractive view

but is somewhat transparent so let's in a lot of light. The solar materials are greatly varied so you could find any color you wanted. I am very fussy, looked for a look time and it is the perfect solution. Simple but tasteful and functional...

Shutters. You don't need a lot of room to open shutters. They open like blinds. Shutters are also easy to clean.

First you have to ask yourself what is the purpose of the window treatment? Is it for light control, privacy, shield a bad view or just soften up the hard lines of the kitchen??? The answer to those questions will help me determine the right treatment for your window. These are the questions I used to ask all my customers/ or designers before they chose any type of treatment for any window. As you can see there are endless possibilities to the ideas of treating the window, but answering yhese questions will narrow down the possibilities

This is what I have in my kitchen, it allows light to filter through, but still gives you privacy as required. You can choose from a variety of patterns to complement your back splash. The material is water resistant as well.

I agree 100% with lauriehorse. Everyone has offered their opinions on choices but you have not told us your needs. That is the first question that needs answered.

Ok. I think it looks fine as is. I'd lean toward the shutter if you want something on it. I thought I could see another room behind it. A shutter would look good from that view as well. Do you have the space to open them? You could also do one louver as well.

I would not recommend doing a Roman Shade over a kit sink or any fabric blinds for that matter. You run the risk of splash ups and you might damage the fabric. A PVC Shutter is a great choice in that space it has a 25 yr warranty and it never goes out of style.

I would then choose either a valance that frames the window ( not a topper) or a stationary roman in a fabric that compliments the style and colors in the kitchen ( and surrounding areas if it's an open concept room plan)and also coordinates with the family room if it is full view. What I mean by a topper is like a simple rod pocket that becomes an eyebrow and not much of a statement. Alot depends on your budget as to go to a truly custom look or modifying a readymade to look custom. These treatments will add softness to a room with alot of hard surfaces and you don't have to worry about sink splashes. Shutters give a clean look but don't add softness. Also they may not open all the way due to your faucet and also if you want to flip the window to clean both sides from the kitchen inside mounting the shutter as shown in your pic will not allow you to do so. Also shutter frames/stiles do take up the window opening cutting down on some of your view especially when inside mounted. Hope this helps

If you do shutters do the whole window, you can always keep the top open. The window will look taller not chopped in half!

I like the shade as it could be up during day and ad the natural light - however, at night I like the window covered as I would use the sink at night quite a bit. The white shade is cute but would get numerous stains after awhile - so the shutters it is however, wouldn't necessarily want them closed all the time either! I am a bit wishy-washy on this!

I have shutters and up stairs rooms I have them still but changed them to vinyl because my wood once are peeling and cheeping and cracking do to a lot of sun, so I would not recommend them in that tips of exposure, I love the roman shades, thats what I will be doing in my Living Room and Dinning, in the kitchen I have a huge window at the sink area and I will be doing a natural fiber of a rolled down shade. Bellow is my kitchen, dinning room, living room doors (curtains for this area) and windows by the front door. I hope this helped :-)

If your family room is on the other side of the window and privacy isn't the issue here--then I'd go with the fabic just at the top in a fun geometric print.....and I'd take the glass out so it is more open to the other room.

Why do you have a window into your family room? Have you considered removing the window sash, leaving the opening?
