Question
-- Like so many others I am struggling with what to do about the windows in our great room, dining room and kitchen, which are essentially one big room. We live in a rural environment and prefer to keep things very simple and earthy. Do I cover the transoms, or just the lower part of the windows?

Answer -- Like choosing
colors for your room, what goes on the windows is a very personal decision. I am not a great fan of curtains and hang them only when necessary for privacy. But there are many great options today, and I suggest you do a bit of investigating on well-established websites such as www.hunterdouglas.com. You can see how their wide range of blinds looks on different window configurations. Blinds come in wood, metal and sheer fabrics in a range of
colors. When you are dealing with one large room, it is advisable to stick to a single type of window treatment. If possible, don't break up the large windows with the transoms above by hanging curtains over the lower section only. It interrupts the architectural integrity of the windows.
