[quote=Anonymous]In general, what do you think is the best type of window treatments for a dining room?  What is the primary goal -- privacy, decoration, other?

Now more specific...our dining room is its own room.  It has one doorway to the front hall and one to the kitchen (but no doors).  It has two windows on one wall that are each about 3' wide by 6' tall.  The windows face the front of the house and people walk by them when going to our front door.  We only use the dining room maybe 3 times a year for big family dinner (like Thanksgiving).  The kids sometimes do their homework there.  So, I'm thinking privacy is not a big deal but the windows are right at the front of the house.  I'm getting ready to paint the room and took down the existing curtains which are simple panel curtains in a heavy fabric.  We nearly always have the curtains open but I was shocked at how much of the windows the curtains were blocking, and thus how much brighter the room was without them.  So, I want to replace them.  I'm thinking of maybe something like sheer panels.  One of the windows is right up next to the corner of the room so there isn't really room for a curtain to be pulled off to the side.  The windows are such that they don't really allow for anything to be installed inset - so, blinds or shades would have to be installed on the window frame or outside the window frame.  Any suggestions?  Thanks![/quote]
