Lounge interior design help!

Not sure if I'm posting this is in the right place....

I have had made some Laura Ashley roman blinds in my lounge. There are 3 large windows, all the same size.

I have extra material - enough for......
- cushions for my sofa
- hard pelmet to put at the top of the roman blinds (the blinds sit in the recess)
- to cover 3 large square canvases to make some wall art.

I like all of these ideas, but only have enough material really to finish one of them. Which would you do? I don't want to use up all the material to wish I'd had done one of the other things! I do like the idea of hard pelmets...., but just wondered what others would do with the extra material (or indeed any other ideas!!)

Thanks. x

    No problem....don't apologise! I'm interested to hear what other people would do. I am tempted to do the hard pelmet as I feel it will finish off the window. I just don't want to make an expensive mistake. The material itself was v.expensive! x

    I'd go with the cushions, then when you want to ring the changes you can mix the originals with different colour cushions and match the pelmet to that. Personal opinion I'm no id expert :wink: .
