[quote=EyeCandyOP][quote=Anonymous]Op, I love love love this thread. Thank you!

My design dilemma - we have a smallish room we use as a home office, with 1950s wall paneling that the prior owner painted stark white. Of the 4 walls in the room: one houses the doorway to enter the room; the wall directly across from that has built in bookshelves with a window in the middle; the third wall is a solid wall that we painted BM hale navy, and the fourth wall has a nice big flat rectangular bay window that faces the street. We float the desk in the room and the view is looking out the bay window toward the street. Because this is an office with a computer and personal papers, and because the room faces the street so is “lit up” at night when it is dark outside, we want to be able to add privacy via [u]curtains on the bay type window and I guess shade or Roman or such on the window with the built ins[/u] (because of the built ins, this window covering would need to be the size of the window). Any ideas on how these window treatments can compliment each other? The style is kind of classic, kind of 1950s thanks to the room age and wall panelling :-). I think I overcomplicated this description but you have been so spot on I wanted to give as much info as possible to help you help me.

Thanks![/quote]

There's one room I posted early on that has different kinds of window treatments that work together. I'll grab that, but also look for some more examples!

The big window might require a custom shade to be made. I guess you could go custom on both (oh my, was THAT a thread) if you want to use a special patterned fabric. You could probably save a bit by going very neutral with the shade and then finding panels from a store. Anyway, on to some ideas.

This is VERY bold, of course.

And lastly, the example from earlier in the thread.
