I think curtains hung such that when they're open they don't cover much of the window would look nice in this room, but I would also have some sort of blind underneath as well unless it's a northern exposure. Any amount of visible light causes fading or discoloration of flooring and upholstered pieces. There are many options - do you have a retailer nearby where you could see all of them? I prefer something that is adjustable like wood blinds, but you might like something else.

The drawback to a roman shade is that it is either up or down - there is no in between. You can have one whose purpose is more decorative than functional, but the windows are already tall and skinny, and a roman shade would emphasize that.

I have Roman shades throughot both of my homes. Love them. They are NOT either up or down, there’s lots of in between. If you’re concerned about fading , I have most of my windows done in a clear window film which blocks 99% UV rays. I like my windows open to the view as much as possible. I like the tailored , uncluterred look of Roman shades, but I realize that’s not for everyone.

Thank you both so much! I was thinking curtains would look to cluttered as well but need some help convincing the husband lol😉

We might just recommend using roman shades if you want any type of window treatment there. Please see our designs included here:
