#4 – Windows With Space Between Them
CURTAINS OR SHADES
There are so many factors that play a role in this and honestly, there’s not one rule that applies to all situations. Every home will be different, so my advice is to try out your options and see what feels best for your space.
That being said, I have a few tips to help make your decision –
Is there trim between each window connecting them? Is the gap less than 12 inches? If so, I like to treat that as one window with curtains on either side.
If the spacing is more than 12” between each window, perhaps a set of panels for each window would work.
Or maybe you have a row of windows and curtains for each might break up the view too much…then I like to bookend the windows with one set of curtains.
Shades could work great too! If you need to soften the space, opt for a fabric shade vs a natural woven material.
MAYBE A LITTLE OF BOTH
For a layered look, incorporate both shades and curtains.
