Vicki, I think a roman shade would look very nice! You could install it inside or you could hang it just below the crown molding on the cabinets. Depending on how much fabric you have and how much you want to spend, you could also make a mock roman shade that doesn't function. On this job I have mock roman shades inside the window in one area and then on the outside due to window depth limitations on another area.

By using off white blinds -- vinyl or faux wood to withstand the moisture of the kitchen -- the same as or similar to the color as your cabinets, the blinds will all but disappear visually, enabling the emphasis to be on the light entering the room there rather than the window treatment. Adding blinds or shades of any other color tends to emphasis the small size of the average kitchen window. If you are looking out your window at the window of your neighbor, you might consider adding a either a pair of posts w/lattice in between -- or three posts to create a free standing angle w/triangle planter as their weighted base. https://www.amazon.com/5-5-Foot-Outdoor-Triangle-Planter-Trellis/dp/B01CSCQ0TM/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_86_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=MVP5MKNZ7CYXTHPX96AC Alternately, you might consider a rectangular treated wood planter box w/lattice: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/78461218487502661/?lp=true It helps if you can find a pair of 4' plastic rectangle shaped planters and then build your box around them with your lattice over the box and in between the planters rather than need to line the wood box w/thick plastic. Adding either treated wood feet or even wheels to your planter will make it more mobile. Depending upon your planting zone, something like English Ivy in your planters could soon provide year round privacy. English Ivy is invasive so you might not want to plant it directly into the soil of your yard.

I have pretty much the same setup as you and have 1 inch blinds. I want to go with something else but with the shallow windows I’m having a hard time.

Hey there: the only problem with the existing shades is that they are black-out. The black-out fabric makes your corner dark and for privacy you have to fully close them. You don't want to put lipstick on a pig. Anything you do without replacing the existing shades will be only half-way.
