If you're ok with the permanence of a film, that may be the best option. There is a really great, inexpensive method to frost the windows too if you're looking to save money. You could leave the ...

I know some people have been knocking cellular shades, but I think for your room, given that you have street traffic outside and you want to let light in, a top-down / bottom-up window treatment is...

I don't know about the curtains... if you hang a rod along the ceiling line and then open the curtains it will look strange because it will expose the bare wall above the window and the window. Wh...

Keeping the curtains drawn is a great way to reduce your energy bill. In my home I have sheer curtains as shown in the photograph at the top of the post. Under those sheers I have mini blinds, wh...

It is difficult to tell from the photo, but I agree with rvalexa, I think a series of shelves would be a nice touch. If you did want to cover it up, I'm not sure I'd go with a screen... maybe a ve...

It looks like you have spectacularly large windows... how great. I'm with the previous poster, dark paint will darken up the area... don't let all the ambient light deter you. If you need to damp...

I agree with the earlier post about solar shades... they aren't too difficult to clean and are almost always the best option for large windows in lofts (with a desired clean and simple look). The ...

In reference to the first commenter, your problem is a common one... if you'd like to use lighter curtains on windows that get a lot of sun, you might consider having the windows tinted. This can ...
