I think drapery is what I would choose. If you feel you need privacy then add blinds with nice side panel drapery from the ceiling.

I’d wait so can consider furnishings nearby. The sliding door, the grids don’t appear to be aligned. That would make me bonkers.

In that window, to make it work for your husband and you and allow you to control the light, I would use wooden blinds that match the trim (and a shade lighter if you can't make it exact) with attractive tapes. I'd use very light-weight ones, and use the widest slats I could make fit, because it takes fewer of the wider ones per shade, which means that they stack up higher when you pull them all the way up. If that is appealing to you, from what I can see, you will need to add a header from which to hang them, so that they will clear the windows when open. That can be masked with molding stained to match. Some blinds have valances of molding available to match. And it also means measuring carefully from side to side, based on the spot at the top where they would hang, because every additional bit of distance out from the window means their width might have to be reduced a bit, so they will clear each other at the inside corners. (Am I making that part clear?) For the safety of your children, whatever treatment you choose, think about how to corral the cords so they can't get tangled in them.

How about some wood blinds on the sun room windows to control light source. I have that on my sunporch, actually fabric blinds, and they work just perfectly. You could use just three, one over each double set of windows.

@apple_pie_order The all white kitchens in my idea books also have wood floors which help to warm things up. Unfortunately, I was unable to talk hubby into wood floors for the kitchen so I had to go with tile which brings even more white into the mix. The furnishings are mine but the upholstered items will be recovered in a different fabric. I am not sure what to do with the furniture at this point since the furniture wood colors are so warm. I have toyed with the idea of another table and credenza but I am not sure I want the expense right now.

Since you have the cranks on the windows and need access to them, I wouldn't put anything there. Valances can be old fashioned and your windows are more contemporary. If I didn't need privacy, I would forego window treatments. The views are nice, but if you don't want to see the deck and its furnishings, try an inside mounted semi-sheer cafe curtain on the tall window. That still allows a view of the trees, but will block the deck and railings from sight. Add color to the kitchen with some colorful hand towels, pot holders, crocks/cookie jars/canisters, a kettle or small appliance. If you limit the items to a few decorative accessories, you can change them out when you feel the mood or the seasons change. Pops of orange A bit of lemon Turquoise

you can deal with the side sections separately than what you would choose across the slider. main issues 1. how much privacy do you want/need w covering..and 2. how much light filtering/blockage.....no one knows those things. while you figure those things out visit a Hunter Douglas showrroom to see everything...Lowes etc for other brands too. All of these shown differ greatly. You can go in whatever direction you personally desire.

I would recommend curtains! Blackout curtains for protecting the privacy and soundproof, sheer curtains/linen/cotton curtains for filtering lights...etc. And it's easy to pull open and close!

Also, shades or blinds would be nice too. It will depend on your overall decorating style.

Here is some inspo, hope it can be helpful:

How much stacking space for draperies do you have on either side. I see a light switch to the right? And, you seem to have window sills beneath the side lites? This might influence your design choices. How deep are they? I would wait to decide what to do. Do you have a kitchen sink window nearby? That might be in the mix, too. Is this a dining area? A living space?
