Photos? Do you have any view out the window? Use painters tape to mark your options on the wall to see how it relates to everything else.

I keep trying. House will never upload them

Make sure your photos are .jpg format and wait till they are no longer grayed out before pressing the "submit" button.

Is this basically what you're thinking?

Note that they have decorated with a sideboard beneath.

Yes it’s like that. There’s no room fir furniture beneath it

I really would want to see the room before commenting further. There are so many variables here: size of the room, placement of table, other windows and doors...to be able to suggest what to do.

What is considered too low?

Correction, it’s 7 feet wide

I can’t see the idea of the transom with a 9’ ceiling what is the reason for the transom. I too would need to see the space

It’s for light to come in the side of the house because all other windows are on the rear of the house and those often have blinds drawn closed due to the hot sun on that side. Transom would be east facing, rear house is south east. didn’t want a large window because we are set quite close to an ugly neighbor house.

So first get some solar shades on the windows that produce too much heat as for the transoms I think they would be a good idea and as for decor I like the idea of the buffet beneath them

No room for a buffet beneath

Solar shades are the plan

Solar shades are good, but not the best product to deflect heat.

Try cellular! You cannot beat honeycomb/cellular shades for energy efficiency!
