Help Me!!

OK, so when we moved into our house I had no time to put up curtains or anything of the sorts because I was taking 20 credits both semesters. Now that I have all the time in the world I have decided to do all the little details to the house. I am really having trouble with how to hang the curtains in the Living Room. The windows are kind of set up weird so it's been difficult. If you have any idea please let me know what you think! Any ideas at all! Even if I don't know you, and you are a blog lurker like I am, please comment.














Here are the curtains that I think I am going to use...I am in love with the Damask print lately. My mom gave me some pillows with it, and I bought a clock that matchs too.

















So I am thinking my options are either do pannels on the 2 end windows or just the middle window....but I don't know what, if either, would look good.

are those target? i have damask curtains. I am also mildly obsessed with damask. My plates are damask as well.

Anyway if i was you i would do two panels on the big center window with tiebacks. And then on the two smaller sides, get a panel for each of those and put the tie backs towards the center window. Does that make sense? Just my one little baby idea. I dont think that would look weird.

yup, mine are target too but they are the sheer ones cause those panels that you got are EXPENSIVE! so i just got 4 panels of the sheer because they are half the price and they actually look really rich and elegant and i get a lot of compliments on them. But yours were my first choice...

I have the exact same window situation, and I went for a shorter curtain, and I did one in each side window and two in the middle. With a bay window and couch like that, I don't think you really need anything hanging down that has to hide behind the couch. Mine hang about 1/4 to 1/3 of the way down the window. All four are the same, and I like them a lot. They are red, and they match my red couch covers. I really like that damask, too. My opinion is free, so take it for what it's worth. I could email you a picture if you want. Good luck.

I think you could do valances on all the windows, but that would take away your curtains....and you clearly love your fabric, so....

Damask - good idea, BUT the damask curtain u have posted doen't match ur inetior design.
Primary u have to decide what style u want, because today damsks are used not only in classic interior, but also in conteporary. In my opinion it looks more stylishly.
So when u have decided what style u'll use in ur apartament, sure thing it founs a decision what "kind" of cutains u'll use. So if u'll use a contemporary style, i recommend u to make single curtain-rod, than one cloth in the left side, 2 separate cloths in the middele and one in the right side. And i advaice the curtain on eyelets as the way to hang the curtains.
P.S. Sorry for my english.
