xp: decor help needed.
These are pictures of our living room and kitchen that we'll be moving into in 2 months. I need decor help especially witht he curtain situation. I know we don't need them - but I think they really help to finish a room. The wood blinds come included - and this is a rental - so I can't make any major changes.... Here are my questions:
1. Would you hang them above the squared windows over the windows with the blinds? Or between the two?
2. I'm also considering just getting the fabric hung between the windows - not having them actually wide enough to extend over the window. I know I've seen that, but I can't seem to find any good example pictures - and I'm not sure how it would look in 'real life'. Good idea? Dumb? Bonus points if you can find a picture to support this idea.
3. Curtains are supposed to be floor length, right? Can you tell I've never bought curtains????
4. Our kitchen. I would like to add extra seating by getting a barstool or two, but I'm wondering if that lip on the high bar is too small to have a bar stool look right there?? Thoughts? Also, how high would you estimate that bar to be - so I can look at bar stools that are appropriately scaled.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Re: xp: decor help needed.
Let it be known I am not an interior designer. But for what it's worth.... I don't think I would do full curtains in that living room. It is really bright and I think that makes the space look bigger, IMO. We have big windows in our apartment living room right now and all I have are valance curtains similar to these below for color purposes but not hiding my windows. And I think in your situation if I was going to use those I would put it on the big windows and not the little ones because I think those are neat and should stand out.

If you were set on getting curtains then I would do something similar to this:

And use curtains that are thin, sheer like material. Again, I wouldn't cover up the square windows for this either.
I'm guessing the bar is as high as mine and we have 30' high bar stools. Hope my unprofessional opinion helps! :-)
