"My husband and I purchased our very first home a few years ago, settling for what I considered a lovely fixer-upper on the east side of Los Angeles. The small two-bedroom home, perched upon a hilltop among other micro-sized homes, is just shy of 900 square feet in total - it felt palatial to us, given that we spent 15 years of living exclusively in cramped New York City apartments."
"Because our home is tiny, builders originally installed quite a few micro-sized windows, too. The worst part? To make matters more awkward, the living room, kitchen, and dining area are all one big room - with differently sized windows. The window in the bedroom is wide and short, and all of the windows already have blinds, but none of them have curtains."
""For these windows, I recommend installing curtain rods that extend well beyond the window frames to make the space feel larger and more open," she says. She recommends floor-to-ceiling drapes in a light, textured fabric, because it will add both softness and height to my cozy little room, all the while maintaining a clean vibe."
A compact two-bedroom, roughly 900-square-foot Los Angeles home contains multiple micro-sized, mismatched windows within a combined living, kitchen, and dining area. Builders installed small windows; the bedroom window is wide and short. All windows have blinds but no curtains, creating an awkward visual arrangement. A designer assessed the space holistically and recommended curtain rods that extend well beyond the window frames to visually enlarge the room. The designer also recommended floor-to-ceiling drapes in a light, textured fabric to add softness, height, and a clean, airy vibe that unifies differently sized windows.
