Here is another pic!

Why do you need the shades? If it is to block heat and UV rays you are much better off with solar shades that also allow the view and privacy during the day. If you need privacy at night get drapes that do that along with the solar shades. I have no clue why you would want any more dark colors in the space

During the day we keep the curtains open. At night we would like some privacy. The curtains are difficult to open and close bc of the couch’s position. You have a good point about navy being too dark.

Does it look bad to have solar shades without drapes?

Pull out your couch enough that the curtains hang straight without being squished. I have had to put a piece of board behind the legs of the sofa to keep it out from the wall. No one will see it or be able to tell there s something holding it out from the wall. I like your curtains (not fond of shades of any kind)

Bump!!!
