yvonne, yes i guess we can use it in the dining. The dinining room is small and doesnt have any windows. the kitchen has a lot of natural light that will come across to the dining due to the open kitchen plan. We will be buying new furniture for the dining. We could buy a glass top table with wood chairs / wood table with wood chairs. The room will be painted offwhite similar color as the base of this fabric. All walls will be painted the same color by the builder, Afer taking possession of the house we can repaint it where needed for accent wall etc. Its an appartment, we live in India.

Agreed. and since windows make an essential and large part of a space, Curtains/ blinds become an important design element.

Hi. I think you should put four blinds up, hung inside the windows, with curtains in the middle and on each side -- when the blinds are up you'll get a full view of your pretty windows. It's a pity to hide them. I'd keep the blinds quite simple so that you can use any fabric you like for the curtains.

Take advantage of the asymmetrical quality of the window by placing diagonal fabric from one ceiling corner to the opposite floor corner and do the same on the other side, but do it at different heights. Another option is window treatment panels (over the entire wall) that look like screens. Put in search box Hunter Douglas skyline panels to see what they look like.
