Currently doing up the kids bedrooms. I am thinking of putting two roman blinds (one for each window) with curtains.
The reasons for the curtains are:
(a) to assist in blocking out light seepage from the sides of the blinds
b) assist keeping the room cool in summer and warm in winter
c) help even up the lopsided window placement / hide the small wall segment on the right side of the window.
I have been working on having the recessed because originally I was going with roller blinds (but couldn't find fabric I liked) but now I am wondering if is this the right way to go.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated
Window basically takes up the entire southern wall
Small section of the wall visible on the right side
There is none on the left side
There is not much between the two spaces
Dimensions I am working with are:
This is the blind I am thinking of ordering: (the ceiling light will have a drum shade in dark/navy blue with star cut outs = blinds and light shade match)
or would this be better?

Hi Karina S
The recess romans and curtains dont work. Roman blinds are best when they are face fitted for 2 reasons:
1: To stop light seepage from the sides
2: The roman stacks when its up and mounted in the window blocks daylight. I would not recommend recess fit for roman blinds.
Curtain stacks in your case will block the window sides when in open position and hard to draw next to the bed. Never use shortened curtain lengths either- they never look good. You could consider roller blinds face fitted with a wall to wall pelmet to conceal the roller brackets etc.
Best wishes
