window treatment dilemma

last year

Over the kitchen sink I’d like a window treatment or shade. The curtains are there for now which actually aren’t bad as if they get dirty then can go right in the laundry LOL
Not sure if I should go white to match the trim or the wood color of the cabinets—
I prefer woven shade
Need remote since I’m only 5 feet tall and may be hard to reach if manual

What about a flat roman shade to bring in color/pattern to the room?

Thank you Fenstermann! I didn't go with the roller shades because they don't provide as much insulation but I am going to get them for our Florida home. Thanks for the advice! My husband will love adding the app to his phone. What I did decided for the Bethany condo on is 2" vertical honeycomb that will open from the center. I can push them back like curtains for the summer and will get a good level of insulation for the winter. I will post a picture after they install. Thank you so much for your advice. I love this site!

All three windows should have blinds or shades on them. Shades are available with narrow headrails for shallow depth windows or you can mount them outside. Windows like that look better with panels on the outsides only, but they need to be wide enough (or hang more than one at each end) to at least look like they can close. The rod needs to extend out much further, not just to the end of the window. They also need to touch or almost touch the floor. High water curtains don't look too nice.

I think curtains all around would be overwhelming. I have solar shades on my slider. I put a wooden valance over them give a neater appearance. The roller doesn't show. Something like these pictures. My shades are are white and so is the cornice
