Or I could ask: Net curtains in general - Yay or Nay ?
I'm working my way through totally redecorating a front bedroom (window onto front garden and roadway, but it's very quite so privacy is really a very minor issue other than daily postman really.
I did have a patterned net curtain, and some cream curtains.
In my mind net curtains are what old people have
And yet, they seem extremely good and practical things.
You get almost full daylight in, and can see out, yet people can hardly see in = ideal.
Then the curtains for evening and night-time.
Yet, as I said, that's old school, so was thinking get rid of those and put up vertical blinds (as neighbor has)
Vertical blinds would be inside the window recess, and perhaps have the curtains up also, as a kind of more decorative second layer.
Now I'm doubting my plan.
I could get plain nets again, is that modern or old?
Of I could scrap both nets and curtains and only have vertical blinds on their own.
I can't decide, can you help me?
This is kinda where I am at the moment, with nothing at the window:
This was what I was like (nets which I'll change to plain even if I went again with nets)
And curtains, which would now be a good light contrast to the new Cookie Dough paintwork:
I fancied the contrast of the cookie dough wall and the yellow/cream curtains and tie-backs.
Or do I scrap it all and stick up some contrasting cream blinds?
Or keep the curtains and replace the net curtains with some brown blinds a bit like this?
(This was my initial thought)
