We went with a fun color scheme since the rest of the house is pretty neutral. </p> <p>We painted one wall a bright turquoise, and the other three walls a lighter beige. The furniture in the room is all dark. We have some black book shelves, a black desk and a dark grey couch. All the furniture is around beige walls. Nothing is against the bright wall, so it stands out. </p> <p>There is a pretty big window in the centre of the turquoise wall. Originally, we were thinking of getting some dark curtains, thinking it would help make the wall pop. But now that we got our couch in (last night) I think there is enough black in the room, and I don't really want black curtains. </p> <p>What accent colour do you think we should consider? The couch is directly across from the window, so I think getting some throw pillows to match the curtains would be a good idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1334544 Fri, 10 Jan 2014 07:35:31 +0000 looch 1334544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I figured there had to be some childproofing going on, I was thinking that at first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1332184 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 16:59:45 +0000 plantains 1332184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: they open on the side outwards.

Even thoug it is freezing right now because of the cold snap, as@spaniellove: mentioned it can have serious greenhouse effect because we get a ton of sun and natural light so the option to open the window is a must. We will definitely get a ceiling fan, but summer hasn't been too bad to be honest. The draft in winter is the real pain. </p> <p>@spaniellove: I think you are right, comfort (and my pocket:)) has to come first so I will look into getting some thermal curtains up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331769 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:32:43 +0000 looch 1331769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about adding in some ceiling fans, to help circulate the air?</p> <p>I think in the winter, the window sealing kits are your best bet...but you can't open the window for fresh air, not sure if that even matters to you or not! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331759 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 15:31:10 +0000 spaniellove 1331759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: We rented in a similar building a few years ago and actually had to move out because the floor to ceiling windows turned the unit into a greenhouse! I actually had photos documenting that it was 80 degrees in the middle of winter. Our unit had blinds going all the way across, while many of the owners had thermal curtains that they pulled across. In a situation like that I think your comfort (and utility bills) have to come before aesthetics unfortunately :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331547 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 14:53:15 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1331547@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: love your living room.

Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331190 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:25:36 +0000 kiddosc 1331190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would put blinds on all the windows, and curtains on the outer two. Something along these lines, where there is a separation between all the window panels, but you don't have to try to pull curtain panels over the window unit. The extra layer of curtain over blinds will help with the insulation. </p> [attach=1439/14/mz5cip.505x360.windows.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331178 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:21:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1331178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't have a lot of room on either side of your windows so I would pick shades over curtains. You could do bamboo blinds. Or if you want some color and pattern you could do roman shades lined with a heavy or blackout liner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331171 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:19:45 +0000 plantains 1331171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: the thermal curtains are probably my best bet I guess. We won't be moving for the next 10 years or so hahahaha. Maybe I can do the liner under nicer curtains as you suggested because yes, they are pretty ugly. Thanks for letting me know that your blinds didn't do much for insulation. I would have been annoyed to fork out stack of cash for nothing!</p> <p>The bay window problem looks like it will only be solved with curtains:( I bought curatins for my DD's room from this Etsy seller, and they are incredible. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/127423506/pair-of-grommet-top-curtains-in-cloud?ref=shop_home_active_11" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/listing/127423506/pair-of-grommet-top-curtains-in-cloud?ref=shop_home_active_11</a></p> <p>She has easily the warmest room in the house. I guess I just have to bite the bullet and get it done. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-a-window-solution#post-1331156 Thu, 09 Jan 2014 13:15:29 +0000 plantains 1331156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: The annoying thing of course is that when it is warm the apt is a sun trap too because of the windows, so it is hot in there in the summer hahaha. Good thing the views are so yummy. </p> [attach=1440/14/mz5c1u.442x332.view.jpg] [attach=1440/14/mz5c1v.442x332.view-2.jpg]
