Can someone help me with window treatment ideas for a bedroom window with vertical blinds?

Question by noelle1821: Can someone help me with window treatment ideas for a bedroom window with vertical blinds?
I will have to get measurements, but I have a window in my bedroom, which is a pretty large size, but has vertical blinds and I’m trying to figure out ideas for curtains/window treatments to ‘pretty’ up the space.

Only mini-blinds or vertical blinds will give you the options of the window glass being fully or partially exposed whenever you want and in an easy fashion. If you want to merely add curtains but retain the blinds for privacy, then you could get a set of double curtain rods. Put a fancy valance on the outer rod and coordinating sheer curtains or heavier slub silk or velvet curtains on the inner rod. When you draw them closed, they would cover the blinds but when they’re left at the sides, the blinds are exposed and you can open them to let in full or partial light. Good luck!! : P

My partner and I had a custom drapery workroom in Louisiana and we paid our installers well. Anyone can hang a rod, but only professionals do the job right. You should be looking at the $20-40 an hour range.
