Do you need window coverings for privacy? I’d do motorized Roman shades for middle and manual shades for side windows. You might find you like them only slightly closed.

Privacy at night would be nice. I like your idea but I'll have to see if they can make Roman shades for that size window. Thank you for your input!

I would do solar shades 10% in a dark color like bronze or charcoal to enhance the ability to keep the view during the day and then hang roman shades for nightime if privacy is a big deal.

Interesting perspective. I'll have to see if solar shades are available for the narrow windows.

I actually LOVE the shutters
I’d keep and spend money elsewhere lol.

I would certainly keep the two side shutters and the middle one maybe a pretty patterned Roman shade (I’m picturing blues, maybe some birds and flowers. Some rust/burnt orange. Creams....)

You can also try completely opening the shutters. Meaning not just lift the slats. But open the “door” during the day...

HU - it's a bit far back to open the "door" but we would love to be able to do so to let more light in.

lucky - long chains will look a bit messy, hence the motorized.

What about woven wood shades?
