Is there an easy window covering for living room windows besides curtains and mini blinds? I have 1 large window and 4 small (2 are opaque). Large is approx. 4.5 ft. x 4.5 ft., in a rather modern apt. Silver metal window casings and windows push out with handle at bottom. There are no panes in them and they are recessed about 2 inches. The small ones are about 3" x 1.5". I am looking for something that is not real expensive, easy to install and attractive. Are there adhesives that are opaque? However, then I couldn't see out during the day. I'm stumped. I could always use mini blinds I suppose. Any suggestions?

Any ideas for a RUSTIC window covering? I am redoing my bathroom in a rustic style - Earthtones - twig-shelves, some barnwood, etc. (Not hillbilly-rustic, but more Rocky Mountain Lodge rustic.) I'm going to use sticks from trees in my yard to make a curtain rod for the window. The window already has wood shutters on the lower half of the window. We live in the Mountains, so I don't need any type of "privacy curtain", just something stylish. There used to be a valence on that window, but I think I'd like to do something different. And, I'll probably make it myself. Any ideas?

What window covering would be best for a window that is behind a couch? No, there is no other place in the room to put the couch. Other sides of the room feature a door, a fireplace, a staircase, and an opening to the dining room. For the short term, we have thrown up some ugly burgundy drapes that we acquired cheaply for a previous apartment. I am thinking that blinds would look better behind a couch than would curtains or drapes. What do you think?

How difficult is it to apply this plastic tinted window covering? My car has had this tint applied to side and back windows, but is starting to peel off, so before I make my mind up to apply new stuff, just thought I would ask if any body else had used it and how difficult is it to put on, and is it realy worth the money? Uncle Fester, thanks for reply, I am intending to just tint the rear window, the very back side windows, and leave alone the front passenger windows, and windscreen, your link is very helpfull as to keeping on the right side of the law. Cheers.

What is a good window covering for a bay window (walk-in bay)? i.e. Not expensive. :) Thanks for all good answers.

Will covering my window with an electrostatic A/C filter reduce dust while maintaining clean air exchange? I think that I may be sensitive to outdoor dust near my apartment but I want to maintain fresh air exchange (otherwise it gets "stuffy"). Recently I've thought of putting an electrostatic air conditioner filter (3M Filtrete) to cover my windows (it only costs $8 per filter and it's said to last 2 months). While the filter should reduce airflow somewhat I think I'll still be able to get enough air exchange with it. Question: If any water/humidity comes into contact with the filter (the filter was originally designed for an air conditioner) will that cause it to lose its electrostatic properties (ie. will it become less effective at trapping dust?). Is there anything else I should consider before putting in the filter (any undesired effects?)??

arched window needs covering? were do I go to get half-moon window coverings in dallas

Question on floor to ceiling bay window covers? OK DH and I are looking at a remodeled home that is great-it is move in ready and it is goregous. There is one big issue though in the living room. It has the original bay window with about 20 square single pane glass panals and it starts maybe 8 in from the floor. We have a toddler, 2 cats, and a 40 pound dog. Yikes. I am trying to think of ways to cover this window that won't be awful to look at but will give some safety. One recomendation was to put a 1/4 in piece of acrylic inside the bow of the window(just run it across the flat part) that goes up say 36 in. Then install shutters across that portion and a seperate row across the top that way we can open the slats on the bottom to let in light and still have the safety and the top shutters can befully opened or adjust the slats what have you for light and looks. I love the shutter idea and just didn't think they would give enough strength to add safety, but with the acrylic it might. Does this sound like a possible solution? Oh-I should say that we know the windows need to be redone at some point. The folks who flipped this place replaced all the windows but this one due to the scale. As soon as it is in our budget we will do that but for the present time we need a workable solution. Also, anyone know of shutters that increas the R value of the windows? I know honeycomb shades can do that but doubt that they would last against my gang.

Vinyl lattice as window storm covering.? I live in South Florida, after the hurricanes of the last couple of years and other factors, I have become extremely claustrophobic. I cannot even be in an elevator anymore for more than 2 floors. The thought of being behind plywood boards for days on end, totally freaks me out; so I am looking for alternatives that are 1) inexpensive, 2) protective against flying objects and 3) allow light into the house. I have come up with the idea of vinyl lattice board, they meet all 3 of my requirements. I have looked into lexan panels and they are $4k for my home. (the dealers will do an all or nothing install). Anyone else have any other low cost ideas? or suggestions? in response to my 2 answers so far: 1st - My windows are rollouts, so a permanent covering is out, or I wouldn't be able to open them at all; and 2ndly, I can't move, I just moved in there a month ago. I am a Florida native, I love a good storm, it isn't the storm I have problems with, its the dark enclosed space. And hurricanes don't always come at night. If vinyl lattice is impact resistant to 150 psi, why wouldn't they work? Please validate your response.

son's window covering? Every time we put a new blind for my son's window, it is ripped or yanked. The curtain bracket kit comes out from the wall. So, he doesn't have any curtain on the window, either. Most of the time he won't have any covering on his window. How can I fix this problem?

Where can I find the metal door and window covers that secure construction sites? I'm in Philadelphia and I work on several row-homes.

I need a good window covering color, small room, blue carpet? Ok, boy, do I need ideas. I have a very small living room, with a woodstove right in the middle of the wall facing you when you walk in, there is a window on each side of the woodstove. The woodstove is also surrounded by dark brick. I have a dark brown leather sofa and recliner, as well as coffee table, and med blue carpet. The walls are a wallpaper of a beige, the adjoing kitchen has wooden floors, a wallpaper with a small blue pattern. I also have a dark green recliner in the room. My problem is window covering. Currently, nothing matches, and I can't stand it, however, I am undecided on what color window covering to go with, I have a total of 4 windows to cover, so the right color is critical. I can accesorise with pillows once I get the window coverings figured out, I know I want a panel type covering but what color ? Or a print ? The living room already feels very cabin like, but needs color, I know the obvious color scheme would be blue and brown, but is that kind of bland ? Keep in mind it is a small room. Please !Help !

How can I get rid of a bird's nest next to my window air conditioning unit? My husband and I moved here 8 months ago and there's been a nest next to the AC unit in my office window since before we got here. It wasn't a big deal at first, but the birds are very loud and annoying, and I know they can spread diseases, as well. I spend a lot of time in my office, and I have 3 hamsters in here as well that I don't want getting sick! I've already asked my husband to get rid of the nest, but I'm not so sure I want him just unscrewing the plastic window covering and aiming a broom at the nest, in case the stuff gets inside or (worse) a bird gets inside. Any suggestions? And if I call a professional to get rid of it, do you think they'll charge me an arm and a leg? P.S. There are birds living in it, but I don't think there are babies...it's the wrong time of year. Complicating matters is the fact that it's an upstairs window, we don't have a house, and we are renting this apartment, which is over a hair salon.
