Ana's ideas for blinds and little details
This kind of curtain is a bit heavier and thicker but it could be also a good choice for the bedrooms to make it darker at night. As you can see also combine the a light roller panel/blind.
Curtains next to the headboard to cover the windows on both sides. They can be used combined with the roller paned/blind.
Idea for the Kitchen/dining and any other room ;) Mixing the roller panel/blind and normal curtains (or drapes as I think you call them in the US) looks beautiful here, so you can start using the first ones in a neutral color to cover the windows and later you still have the opportunity to use curtains to give other look and color to the room.
