All of the rooms in these photos are open to each other. I love the way the windows look without any drapes on them but for privacy and sun damage we need to cover them. I am considering either simple neutral linen or velvet drapes. Possibly plantation shutter for the front hall only. Our decor is simple, traditional, and classic. We do not care for bamboo shades. Also problematic is the bay windows that go all the way up to the ceiling so any installation on the inside of the windows has to be on the ceiling part.

I am am open to any suggestions/ideas.
