Comments (8)It’s really more of a window treatment (or lack there of) and proportion decision. Typically, you wouldn’t want to cover that type of a window with any coverings so are you ok with early morning sun streaming in that window? Privacy shouldn’t be a concern? Typically the transom would be high up (your bed obviously low down) - but what about the headboard? If it’s lower as well and that creates a big void below the new window then I question just the overall look.

Comments (4)to light it perfectly even, you would need to back it with something similar to a light box (like what graphic designers use for tracing). it would need to be custom made so it looks attractive from the back. unfortunately this would block the window so you'll never get to see it from the inside. a different idea would be to hang a frosted white glass globe pendant about 1-2 feet behind it. I stress frosted glass, which will diffuse the light. it will only appear perfectly centered when you're standing right in front of the window, but it will light it better than a LED strip, and you will still be able to enjoy the stained glass from the inside of the house. to get an idea of how this would look-- how does it currently look from the inside with that porch light on? it will be similar to that....See Morebikesr2tired
