Need help with window covering

13 years ago

I am wanting to cover the bottom portion of this window with a blind but wanted to try to keep as much of the window clear as possible, so no deep valances, for example. We would like to have a soft filtered light by day (though we would be keeping the blinds open most of the time during the day) but with as much privacy as possible at night as we don't want people passing by to be able to see in. Thanks for your ideas!

Does window film give privacy at night?

Window film gives privacy night and day, but does not block out light (day or night).

Duette makes a shade that can open from the top or the bottom which would be great here. I've got them in my bath & love them. Privacy below, light coming through above!

Oh boy! What a fabulous window. Original leaded glass? Craftsman house? This picture is not meant to suggest colors or fabrics, but just what to do.

I would run a rod across and have panels on either side which you can close at night and open, would frame that gorgeous window.

These are all great ideas, but I would like to avoid curtains unless just over the bottom portion but can't think how a rod would look/work that would allow us to open the curtains fully to give full visibility. As for the Duette shades, I really don't want the cords hanging down in this window (I have them in other windows and they look great). And film is a good idea but we do want full visibility during the day. Thanks everyone so far, though. Anyone else have any suggestions?
