Designing for Challenging Windows - Two Story Windows

Two Story Windows

Two story windows are another difficult window configuration to treat.  Like the specialty shaped windows, clients are often confused about whether to treat them or leave them exposed.  Again, this is a difficult question to answer and depends upon other factors.  I often ask how the room is utilized or how the client wants the room to feel.  Bringing the eye down lower and treating only lower windows tends to make the room feel more intimate and inviting.  Incorporating upper windows accentuates the height of the room and can make a big impact and elicit a feeling of grandeur.  In either case, the effective use of window treatments in these setting always provides softness to the room and can often help with noise reduction since these rooms tend to echo. 


As with bay windows, adding window treatments can often unify the space and make sense of the grouping rather than looking at individual windows.  Adding window treatments doesn’t mean sacrificing a view, it just makes it prettier!
