O.M.G. I grew up in VN. I never saw windows like that. Our old house in SG was a French colonial style villa with large French style windows. I never saw a mattress or carpet until I left VN. :-D Things have changed so much. Is this attic room in one of those skinny rowhouse that pop up everywhere in VN? Where are you in VN? Okay, sorry for my excitement. Now, back to the topic at hand, I probably would go with woven bamboo shade, or make a fabric roman shade, or the easiest way, simple panels on a rod. Can you open those windows for fresh air? Please show more pics of your house. I'm so curious to see how the decor has changed! Growing up, our house decor was very French colonial, lots of dark teak, and bamboo, sheer drapery panels. Though my GF had a French iron bed and some French antique furniture left from her French brother in law . When I came back for a visit 15 years ago, they still have all the decor intact, exactly as when I was a baby! Such a big difference from America where things are more disposable, and trends come & go so quickly. I wished I can come back to VN again before there's nothing left of the past. Things probably changed too much & what's there now is nothing but a shadow of the VN I remember & love.

This is an inside view. I currently have faux vines around it to help a little. Bear in mind that I plan to paint the kitchen a color similar to SW Copper Mountain over Christmas vacation and those checked curtains are gone. This is an exterior view I love the idea of a roman shade but how expensive would it be? I did consider getting a sheet of luan cut to size and getting my very talented sister to paint a mural on it.

The shades on the doors and windows don't necessarily have to match, but they should be coordinated. If you go with a woven shade or a Roman shade, you can get those products in a vertical application. Hunter Douglas Vignette shades and Woven Woods shades are available in both horizontal and vertical applications, so you can use the same fabric on the windows and door.

IMO there is no space for awnings with that roof line and certainly no shutters I love the idea of custom window boxes that fir the whole window . Plant them with seasonal plants and do something on the wall between the windows. Some really great lighting at night. A wall mural would be kind of fun in that space .
