Living room window, traditional style room, the paint color is beige although in pic it looks much lighter. I have black trim in the room.

Angie you have enough space above the window to put a drapery rod above the arch and do panels with lots of trim, alternatively if you want something more traditional, the drapes can be cut to mirror the curve at the top and mounted on medallions and tied back at the sides. You could also add swags on top of the panels if you wanted to go that formal?

Do you have any pics of the rest of the room?

Plantation shutters would look great!

Do you want to keep the top arch uncovered all the time? It is a very attractive feature uncovered.
Before you choose new coverings, decide on the arch first. semi-sheer drapes over the blinds might do nicely. A print drape could distract from the beautiful arch. Due to the proportion of the window I would not use floor length drapes if you keep the arch open.

I don't want to cover the arch, I do think it looks great especially with the blinds up. I was wondering if trim would be best since the window is beautiful . I feel the wall is so large that I need something, it seems so naked.

I have the same window and found a beautiful curved stain glass window that picked up the design of the rest of the room. The rest of the window we put in plantation shutters.

Think you need some additional color/pattern in the room so I would be doing drapes on both windows.

Yes, I agree. I do need an accent color, I have been waiting to purchase a piece of art to pull color from as my inspiration but have not found anything yet.
