Ignore the giant brown leather couch in the foreground of the picture and look to the upper left hand corner at my corner window. This is the only window/windows in my large 10x14 living room. I don't mind it too much since if I had a giant picture window I would be looking out at a moderately busy street.
I have scoped out some hardware at IKEA that will make that corner manageable so I don't have to jam two sets of hardware into the corner, so now the next step is selecting curtains for the window.
Step 2 on my window covering project is to install curtains to layer over my classic faux wood 2inch white blinds. I have 3 options for curtains from the amazing Cost Plus
1. Vivian Floral Curtain Panel is the brightest option with the most color and pattern. I suspect I'm in desperate need of both color and pattern in my living room since I have that huge leather couch but I am a little hesitant to jump in head first with these window treatments.
2. Bird and Botanical Burnout Curtain Panel The second option is a little more moderate as far as I'm concerned, it has pattern and color but both are much more subtle than the first option. I like the light airy feeling of these curtains and I'm not as worried about them clashing with my area rug.
3. White Cotton Voile Curtains these happen to be the best deal financially since you get 2 panels for $24.99 whereas the other curtains give you just one panel for the same price. Again, I like the light feeling of these curtains and I really like the notion that I don't need to know much about combining color and pattern.
To remind you all what the main color and pattern of my area rug is here is a visual :
HELP! What curtains should I get?!?!
