Our bedroom faces south and has two large windows that get a lot of afternoon sun. Now that it's getting warmer, the room really heats up in the afternoon and takes a while to cool off in the evening. The room doesn't have great ventilation, but we're working on that. We hope to put in double-paned windows and get solar screens too, but in the meantime, I'm thinking some curtains lined with solar fabric would help.
The main part of the room is about 12 x 12, so not very big. There is a small entryway where you walk in that's perhaps 6 x 6, then you turn left into the bedroom. There are a total of three windows; two of them are south-facing.
So, I need some assistance with curtain suggestions. I can easily back anything with solar fabric, so the options are unlimited. I confess not being one for lace and stuff, but suddenly, curtains like these are looking appealing. Maybe a solid white solar panel with a white lace overlay? Is that too boring? Is there something better out there? White lace just isn't something I would normally go for, so I'm a little hesitant to take the plunge.
I want to keep the price reasonable, and I can sew just about anything, so if you have an idea that's a little pricey or maybe not quite the right color, I can probably find fabric and make it myself.
Oh and if you send me any curtain suggestions that look like this site, I will never speak to you again. There will be no gingham or ducks, thank you very much. ;)
