blinds for BIG windows

[maz]

Ive been doing some research and need to bounce some ideas of people other then my husband who jsut says do what you want....

ive been looking at getting new blinds for out windows that face the street (lounge and boys room) their 2.8m wide and about 1.5 drop. In both rooms I have verticals that I HATE with a passion cause they are continuously breaking. I have lace and block out curtains in the lounge room but only lace in the boys.

I blinds need to be matching so...........

I was looking into panel blinds but OMG $270 for the track alone then $40 a panel to which I would need 7....and that was for one window PASS

Now im wondering if Holland blinds are available that big and im worried if they are...would they bow int he middle after a while

Im also tossing up on Roman blinds...ah to many things in my little brain atm!!!

so please do my head in more and give me your thoguhts

TIA

Hun I would go traditional curtains on those. They tend to be a bit thicker for light blockage too.

Oh Id love to BUT WIlhelms bed is right next to the window and the whole room in long but only 2.9m wide so curtains make the room look tiny.

Im gonn ahve to get one of those people in to measure i think

Go for a pale colour, it will diminish the effect of cramping IYKWIM. The darker the colour the smalller the room looks. Traditional curtains are also easier to wash can u post a poc in the morning so we can see the amount of room there is between Wilhelm's bed and the windows?
