Tutor's Comments: This is a very good window treatment - simple but stylish! The fabrics for your window treatments are contemporary in colour, style and finish. By adding a pelmet and contrasting bottom border, you meet the brief of "classic contemporary". The contrasting edge at the bottom of the curtain in the deeper green adds colour and interest to this treatment. Your rendered sketch is very good and you have rendered the light and shade well.
Including the blinds in the treatment is a good decision on your part. The brief states that the windows face west, so in the late afternoon it will be very bright in the room. The blinds will soften the sunlight coming in and prevent fabrics from fading, although this heavy white silk may not be the best colour in terms of practicality. The sheer woven fabric no.4 is a good choice, but perhaps it would have been better in this treatment as a sheer panel, positioned in front of the doors, rather than gathered curtains under the main curtains. In this treatment, it appears your intention is to have them pulled back so thay are just seen under the main curtain. This means they will be gathered, so we won't see the lovely woven pattern. As sheer panels they would sit flat in front of the French doors, diffusing the light and casting interesting shadows on the floor.
