Tina, I just went through a similar dilemma. If cost and my dog wasn't a factor, I would of went with vertical panels or a set of 3 roman cordless shades. Since I didn't want to spend 600+ on window treatments, I opted to hang a curtain rod with a support at each end and 1 directly in the center. I then purchase two 100x84 panels from Kohls, as they had a big sale. I paid 90 shipped for both curtains. I chose light filtering instead of blackout for my shades but both options exist in that size. Good luck.
