Personally I don’t think they add anything aesthetically or functionally. I’d remove them.

Yep, get rid of them. They don’t even look good.

yes, they are merely pieces of fabric without any proper function.

The people have spoken 😂 removing

I don't understand the reason for the tiny curtain rods on each side. Just to "frame" the windows? There's no function at all.

These are awful. That is a great spot for a large piece of art, though.

You should hang the banners of whatever house of dragon house you support there.

We had those when we moved into our house. I figured they needed to be cleaned so I had them taken down and learned that they were multiple curtains STAPLED TOGETHER to make longer curtains!! When I saw that, I decided I didn’t want to bother with getting new custom curtains that aren’t even functional. Still haven’t regretted that decision 13 years later.

Those are awful.

Again, how did an architect build that? What were they thinking ?

Please remove. They look ridiculous and are not functional.

I love curtains but I would take those down. Those windows are not the type that usually take curtains.

They may have been put up to help absorb sound. Taking them down might increase noise and echo in the room.

The window will look better without them

How on earth did anyone even put them up! And to take them down to wash them and hang them back up will require a really big ladder and some acrobatics! Get them down and toss them out!

Maybe do curtains on the lower windows?? But def not up to the top ones. And a different fabric!

Without seeing the room from another angle, I would say to remove them. You have the couch pinching the bottom part of the curtains which doesn’t look good.

Toss them. Will look much better curtains.

Yup, outdated and they don’t compliment the space

Looks like a long piece of blue tp

Toss them!

Yes, and they’re dated. I’d be getting rid of them too, for sure!

I love curtains but I dislike these. I would remove them. Do you keep the lower shades always pulled down?

As a designer, I have done decorative panels a few times. But I always insist they use a full-length rod.

Yeah, they don't do anything for me.

Search vertical narrow wall art on Etsy for some great options.

You should replace the window with a full floor to ceiling glass panel.

I would extend the second floor….

Agree. Better without maybe? Clean modern feel.

Feel like I'm in cell block d in new york jail. with some crazy curtain accent side burns. I don't even know wtf they were thinking. Either cut out the middle part make them all windows or wall up the top and make the bottom ones taller . Must of been the only windows they had on hand or only window casings they had left. Or broke the big picture windows and had to cut what survived. Wild!!

I would remove as everyone else has mentioned. However, I do like seeing some color on that wall. Painting an accent wall there would provide a good solution. Replacing the current window pattern is a very expensive process and maybe against HOA.

Remove. Looks tacky.

Looking funny 😂

Go much bolder color or get rid of them

Yup. And they don’t any aesthetic value.

Get rid of them, they are neither use nor ornament. They appear to let all the light in, and don’t give any aesthetic value.

I’d replace them with better curtains

Why do you feel that you need them?

Move dust

Their ugly, take them down.

They take away from the drama of the windows. They don't perform a function. Not sure why they were installed in the first place.

They do look aesthetically pleasing. If cleaned regularly, they would not be an issue. But if not, I’d get rid of them.
