How to blackout light on arched window on vaulted ceiling in bedroom?

Looking for some advice on how to add blackout window treatments to this tricky arched window on a vaulted ceiling in bedroom. Front runner ideas are 1) horizontal curtain rod the width of the window, 2) custom arched cellular shade + rectangular shades below or 3) angled curtain rod that goes all the way to the top point of the vaulted ceiling, so we could extend curtain width beyond the width of the window.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

What did you end up doing? I have a similar problem with an arched window and sloped ceiling. Ideally I wanted a straight curtain rod across the top of the arch but because of the slope I thought it would look funny if drapes didn’t extending the typical 6” or so beyond the window. I’m considering a roller shade or woven shade to cover extending from the top as if it was one large rectangular window but I’m not 100% positive I even have the room for that with my slope. May have to go with two separate shades.....
