Window Treatment for front-facing window over stairs

Kate E
4 years ago

We have this front-facing window that is positioned over our basement stairs. Only reachable on the right side. We love our windows and wanted to keep as many non-bedroom/bathroom windows without treatments. However - we need more privacy on this one. Part of the plan is to plant a small group of evergreen trees strategically placed in the front yard to reduce the line of sight from the street into our house.

What we didn’t account for... is little kids coming to our door and peering in the front window :) Our son has friends ringing the bell all the time, and sometimes we prefer to just ignore the bell, but when they can see you clear as day it’s not as effective!

The only solution that I think makes sense is a Roman shade or roller shade. Considering the stairs- maybe something with remote control.

I need some help with other ideas to look into! More pics of the surrounding space in the first comment. (Disclaimer: Please disregard decor/furniture placement - recently moved in and still moving things around, experimenting with with decor.) Also- blue tape marks touch ups needed from the painters!
