I would do shutters,you can have privacy but also allowing light to come in any way you want it. I adjusted mine to give you a visual as to different ways you can adjust them

try a light filtering top down option shade.

blinds.com has them for a decent price. I've used them many times. you have to get the ones rated for bathroom usage, otherwise try the cellular shades for the other rooms. Beautiful windows!

One other thing, I had roman shades top down bottom up installed in my kitchen which got a lot of sun ordered the insulated kind and the heat still came in. Now I’m replacing them with shutters. I don’t know if you get a lot sun but just wanted you to know.

If you have only cafe shutters, and the upper portion of the windows are bare, then there is no sun filtering capability for the upper half without installing window films on the glass. Both Vista and 3m have good quality window films, which would filter out the harmful UV and protect artwork, fabrics, and flooring. Alternatively you can install "double hung" shutters, with a top pair which open over a bottom pair of panels, for maximum versatility in controlling light, privacy, and the ability to have your view. Shutters also layer well with fabric treatments if later you would like to add some color or softness at the window.

If you want the view with daytime privacy, wood blinds give you that, because the human eye does not see well from a brighter space into a darker space. You just have to close them at night. Wood Blinds date back to the Renaissance era (hence the term "Venetian blinds") - Thomas Jefferson imported them for his home back in the Federal era, so they are historically compatible. I am currently remodeling and redecorating the Virginia Suite at Anderson House in Washington DC, home of the Revolutionary War Institute, and wood blinds are going in as a part of the window treatments.

For view plus daytime privacy plus sun filtering, Hunter Douglas - Silhouette, Lafayette - Tenera, and Comfortex - ShangriLa are all sheer shadings which give you a view out the whole window but which filter out a lot of the UV coming in. Hunter Douglas - Pirouette is similar but with a more modern profile. And Lafayette's Allure double roller shades will give you view through wide bands of fabric, again in a more modern look. You can pull all of them all the way up for an unimpeded view if there have been a lot of gray days, but they are most beautiful and worth their cost if you have them down most of the time and look through them.

Are you in the Metro Washington DC area, or in another city? I am in Fairfax, VA, and serve the Metro DC area, and I can put you in touch with members of the Window Coverings Association of America in other cities if you are looking for window treatment professionals who can help you sort out the best solutions.
