I just moved and I’ve finished the guest bath except for the window (covering in picture is from previous owner). It’s bubbly and not clear. I think I should cover the whole window but not sure what to use. Thanks!!

I have no idea what the cost is or whether it is a viable solution for exterior windows, but they seen glass used in showers which becomes opaque through some kind of switch. Regarding the UV filters - they don't help with glare or even with damage fron sun. I have a western exposure which gets extremely strong sun in the morning. I had them installed on my windows when I remodeled along with shades. During the pandemic, the shades in my bedroom didn't work and so I had the full blast of the sun using only the UV film and fabric which had the sun beaming on it became severely faded in what was a relatively short period of time. Of course there are all levels of UV film and I didn't opt for the highest level since I didn't want it to be very obvious. I think the ones that look like mirror on the outside but are transluscent when viewed from inside offer strong protection.

I’m a bit challenged trying to visualize this room as a whole. I think that how much use for going in/out the sliders needs to be factored in. The front slider next to the window is the most challenging IMO since there’s no room for any window covering to stack completely off the glass on the fixed panel side of slider. I agree the same fabric & treatment should be used for all windows. I think I would hang separate drapery panels over each window. For the front slider & window I’d use the same length panels for both slider & window for a better look when closed. That slider - I’d have drapes that open in middle & pull to each side. The corner fixed panel will always be partially covered with the open panel on left. The drape for panel that slides should stack completely off the glass so that door handle can be easily accessed. The window would be traditional drape open in middle & stack completely back off glass on both sides. Two rods for each window - sheers on inside rod & drapes on outside so the 2 coverings can be open closed separately. When closed, this wall would appear as a complete wall of drapes. As for color - don’t know if you’re wanting dark blue or thinking that’s room darkening. Room darkening drapes are available in many colors. Slider in dressing area should have same treatment but sounds like with 16” space on each side the drapes can stack completely off the slider on each side. Whether that slider has sheers or not depends on the privacy issue. Maybe only drapes on that one - no sheers.

I would put a solar film on the glass above the trim that goes across the 4 windows and then solar shades on the 4 lower parts. They can be adjusted up & down as needed and don't block the view.
