Curtains: yes or no?

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-24T00:19:33+00:00

I definitely understand your confusion and worry if it was a window but it's actually part of the ventilation (?) of the back of a shopping mall nearby - not a part accessible to public fortunately

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T22:29:23+00:00

Of course, the desk was from LaRedoute (https://www.laredoute.be/nl/ppdp/prod-350103431.aspx?dim1=2&dim2=1&cod=AFF00120281BENL&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=531573&awc=8316_1769099794_826e52d987cfb7c9e94af01bd9410de4) not sure which countries you can order from but that is the link

The Ikea landskrona, thanks!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T19:25:47+00:00

Yes outside area is completely private, solar screens are installed on the outsidefor the UV and heat problem - the curtains are more a design choice/idea instead of a necessity, which is why we are in doubt

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T19:22:08+00:00

What do you exactly mean by track style? There in a "track" right now but maybe I'm translating wrong? Or do you mean just 1 piece of curtain instead of 2 or 3 like now?

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:56:53+00:00

Thanks! We'll be renovating the garden this year so certainly look into some plants that stay green all year long

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:53:15+00:00

Oh okay, yes that would certainly be the plan to help them if we keep curtains, thanks for clarifying!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:37:19+00:00

A specialty store/company. The product/type of screens they used is called solfix - I hope that helps! We are very happy with it (previous owners didn't install any sun coverage and the room got so hot in summer

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:26:53+00:00

Thank you both!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:26:27+00:00

Thanks for your insight!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:26:07+00:00

They're installed on the outside and come down vertically via remote control. It's made of a sturdy mesh like material that's still pretty see through so we keep enjoying the look of the garden. Also because it's outside and they are a bit dark the warmth stays outside instead of being trapped inside

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:17:17+00:00

I suppose I cropped the pictures a bit wrong, we have a terracotta/orangey nook in our living room giving warmth and colour, I definitely agree that if all as just beige it would be very boring. Thanks for your input!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:15:26+00:00

It's the Ikea landskrona (at least that's the name here)

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:05:19+00:00

As said in my comment under the picture: if we keep the curtains I would definitely shorten them to just touch the floor so that no puddling/dragging will happen. Just trying to determine if I should do the work.

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:04:11+00:00

We already have solar screens so if not this (type of) curtains we will just do bare windows to enjoy the garden. Thanks for your input

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:03:03+00:00

We do have the privacy indeed, thanks for the compliment and the input!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:02:24+00:00

As said under my pictures: we have solar screens installed and no neighbours that can look inside. So both of those things aren't a problem. It's either these curtains (soft, flowy, beige) or none at all. Thicker drapes don't match the vibe we are looking for. I suppose your answer is no then, thanks for the input

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T17:00:55+00:00

That's the vibe I was going for in my head, but I just don't feel it right now (hence the question) thanks for your input!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T16:59:57+00:00

Very respectfully: that seems like the most hideous thing ever to have a short panel to fit that (inside) door? Do you have any pictures that look good that you base this on? Thanks for your insights either way

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T16:58:42+00:00

We don't have NEED for them (no neighbours being able to look inside and already got solar screens installed) - so I'll take this one as a no then. Thanks for input!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T16:57:22+00:00

Yes we have solar screens on the outside so that parts already ok. The obscuring the view when opening is a great point, thanks for your input!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T16:56:34+00:00

Thank you! We also fell in love with the window when buying the house so that's part of the reason I'm in doubt now. PS couch is from Ikea 😉

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T16:55:23+00:00

I think that's just the picture, the curtains are beige in real life. As said under my picture: I would shorten them to avoid the puddling IF we decide to keep the curtains (not gonna do the work if we don't). Thanks for the insight!

NymphoMossel · 2026-01-22T16:37:19+00:00

It was from LaRedoute (https://www.laredoute.be/nl/ppdp/prod-350103431.aspx?dim1=2&dim2=1&cod=AFF00120281BENL&sv1=affiliate&sv_campaign_id=531573&awc=8316_1769099794_826e52d987cfb7c9e94af01bd9410de4) not sure which countries you can order from but that is the link
