Photos of the room? Not sure I understand the question?

What does this mean: "A sheer means the top and bottom will be covered at the same time, which isn't ideal." ?

I believe our OP was referring to a set of long sheer panels hanging to cover both sets of windows?

Why, thank you mrsstem! :)

ranlava: you either need longer curtains here or the rod lowered (as your said).

I think it is a good idea to have window treatments only the window you want covered. One window not covered & one window covered will look very nice. click here for photo:

You could go a completely different route getting of no curtains, plantation shutters on the bottom window ( or top down bottom up pleated are so handy!) to go with a more southern coastal look. Top window- if there isn't a privacy issue... Get an e coating or the remote control shade as mentioned before. Then get some colorful or interesting art to fill I the space between the windows to tie them together. Seems like the decor may be contemporary so you could even have something (s) hanging from the corner ceiling or curved coming up from below like a tree branch.

Hi Ranlava - You have a beautiful space. I would suggest plantation shutters on both top and bottom windows for the first layer. Then, I would add floor to ceiling drapery panels to draw your eye up. This way, your eye doesn't stop have way up the wall at the lower window level. Hope that helps! Good luck!

I like krisdesigns idea... Go with shutters that can add a little something extra aesthetically in a classier way than curtains.
