LOVE the colors.
since the room isn't that formal, i think bamboo blinds would blend well. i would leave the arched window bare.

Nothing on the arch?
What are plantation shutters?
The old owner had like a swag type thing on the arches and nothing on the windows...

the arch is a really nice design element that IMO, should not be hidden or embellished. i like privacy so i would add something to the windows.
search the smith & noble site for ideas. as i recall they have pics of similar window styles.

Yes, I somewhat agree with not hiding that window but here, I found a pic of what the previous owner did...
Side windows...

i LOVE toile but the toile and the lace, UGH! yeah, IMO the arch swag is really too much, not needed and doesn't look right. perhaps a different style would look better though. not liking this at all.

I wasn't a huge fan of the lace either but the toile swag was interesting...
But maybe the plantation shutters are a good idea, I like them... maybe I will keep the arch as is, thanks Skew!

i like the idea of plantation shutters but wondering if it would be too much white. obviosuly the room is accented in white (trim), just not sure if the shutters would be too "OMG white". KWIM?
the bamboo or woven blinds would work well w/ the style of the room and add a subtle touch.

Not sure either, I am going to go to the Curtain Store and see what they have for me to look at...

Re: Help with Window Treatments (pics)...
Yikes, that was overkill - what the previous owner did.
Plantation shutters come in a variety of colors/stains, not just white.

i don't really like what the previous owners did. i would leave the top window with nothing on it. the plantation shutters seem like they would look great on that window!

ITA on both points!

I know, thankfully they took all of their fixtures
OK, so I was looking at pics of plantation shutters and I think I am going that route with the arch uncovered, thanks everyone for the great suggestions, will post pics after I get everything hung!

i don't think it is needed but you could also add a decorative fan style shutter on the arch.

Beautiful room. I would do plantation shutters on the lower half if you need privacy or a sheer scarf if you don't.
