Do you want complete blackout seeing they're bedrooms? If so, then the trapezoid will have to be covered as well.

Your windows would be great for the electronic privacy glass

Wow nice place. No curtains.

Classic form over function dilemma. I vote for what Annie suggested. Window treatments of any kind are counter indicated..but the need for privacy and light control were not taken into consideration by this designer.

The only other thing that would completely cover the window would be a ceiling mounted drape...only thing is when the left side is drawn back, the hem would taper up short. Same thing if you tried to do a mounted sliding panel that would lay against the wall, completely clearing the windows. If you did an exact color match to the wall, though, the taper would be less noticeable.

What would've been cool would be to have panels like "pocket doors" built into the walls that could slide shut at night but be completely invisible during the day. Then the taper at the top would be completely irrelevant...but they would have to be floor mounted...not sure there is even such a thing.

Thanks you guys! I originally planned on electronic privacy film, but then I realized that I wouldn't be able to operate the single hung windows (right?!)

Those swing-away shades are nice Olychick!

I'm ok without complete black-out/coverage - the whole point of the house design is to blur the line between inside and out. Given that do y'all think it would look good to have the curtain hung at the break between the single hung and the trap? I should mention that whatever the solution it needs to be DIYable. I can sew and husband and I are both handy.

i do think it would look good to hang the curtain at the break in the windows. That's how I've hung some in my home.

k9arlene i'd love to see, if you have any pictures :)

So is the corner a 6x6 post? Or are the windows mulled at 90 degrees there?

We have a post. I thought about mounting these roller shades below the top transom here but ultimately decided to mount them at the top.

It's 10 feet, but no angle.

jn3344 what beautiful windows and view!! I love the idea of the roller shade - especially with the chain. Do you mind sharing the product information if you have it?

I got these from Budget Blinds. They come to your home. A couple of them were measured incorrectly (didn't account for the baseboards at the floor) but they remade them for no charge. They installed them for us as well.

Their brand is the same quality as Bally - made at the same factory, same hardware, etc. They share some fabrics with the Bally line and have some exclusives.

If you install them yourselves it's 20% less iirc. I ordered blinds for the upper level and installed them myself so it's not a difficult job.

Good luck!

thank you jn3344!

Thinking outside the box, how about adding a small board at the base of each window...have it made out of wood...it needn't be very high...and then do a bottoms up shade. So it would be almost like an upside down valance, but it would allow you to leave the windows plain and unobstructed for day and provide privacy at night. I've never seen it or thought of it before, but it would certainly be a DIY project...I just hate the idea of obstructing those windows at all...and I'm one who likes window treatments in general.

So I just googled trapezoid window blind and...they exist?? I had no idea. But as Annie said they seem to be either cellular shades (which can go top down) or they are flat on the bottom and go bottom up which means there will be tension strings going up your windows.

y'all are fantastic! annie - i love your unconventional idea and i think it has great potential.
