Kitchen Window treatments tie in with family room window treatments?

Hi all!
Iâ€™m a little embarrassed to admit I donâ€™t have any window treatments in my house Other than bedrooms and bathrooms.

I have three angled windows in my kitchen, and similar windows in the adjoining family room. Iâ€™d like to have a lot of light on the side of the house, and we donâ€™t need privacy because thereâ€™s no one behind us. What should I be thinking about as far as window treatments? Should they be coordinated in some way? I usually tend to go neutral with all my finishes. I think the kitchen may need some color though. We are in the middle of a refresh so the finishes will be similar but neutral. Havenâ€™t decided about the finishes in the family room yet.

Showing the windows as they are today , enjoy the snow!

Since you have the cranks on the windows and need access to them, I wouldn't put anything there. Valances can be old fashioned and your windows are more contemporary. If I didn't need privacy, I would forego window treatments. The views are nice, but if you don't want to see the deck and its furnishings, try an inside mounted semi-sheer cafe curtain on the tall window. That still allows a view of the trees, but will block the deck and railings from sight. Add color to the kitchen with some colorful hand towels, pot holders, crocks/cookie jars/canisters, a kettle or small appliance. If you limit the items to a few decorative accessories, you can change them out when you feel the mood or the seasons change.
