[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hope you are still here...

Our basement/teen zone has a stack stone fireplace with TV above, comfy gray sectional, and 3 windows on 3 different walls.  Two of the three are high up, small windows, 3rd is larger/lower (egress window). We have blackout/honeycomb shades on all 3, but have been trying to figure out window treatments.  Valances seem so outdated, but long curtains on a high up, tiny window seemed ridiculous. Looking for ideas on why to do with these windows![/quote].

This has to be a thing you decide to like but I have shutters on one basement window that extend below the window (mounted in front, on the surface of the wall) and in the bedroom an external mount Roman shade. When the Roman shade is down, the eye is fooled into believing the window ends lower than it does. It also disguises how deep the window sill is. I think curtains would make it look much better because the shade is just kind of stuck on the wall there and curtains would hide the sides, but I don’t care to put curtains down there since we rarely use it.

The shutters look a little weird during the day because you can tell the window stops halfway down but the illusion works fairly well at night and overall I think I like it. [/quote]
