Sounds like Roman shades is the answer. Look at all of the Roman shades on Houzz. I am sure you will find some inspiration.

PS- This is what I meant by both roman shades and curtains (obviously I wouldn't have three sections like in this pic).

I would just do fabric roman shades with a blackout liner and be done.

Post a better picture of your room. Something we can see large with a click

I'd go to Home Depot. Measure your windows as ONE. OUTSIDE left casing of the left window, and over to the outside RIGHT casing of the right window. Then height. Top of casing to just below sill

You treat that combination as your privacy and blackout. USE ONE Shade for both.

HD has great cell shades, black out, in cut to fit width. Cordless! Honestly They're great. Get white : ) They cut them right there in the store.

Then you do your decorative and stationary panels to the sides. On rod and rings. You won't need to close the curtain panels at all

Question for where to hang the roman shades? Outside the molding? On the molding?

On the molding if you want ONE shade, Why raise and lower two if you need not do that??

Definitely one shade. Just wasn't sure if there's such a thing as hanging on the molding :)

Are the roman shades I showed the right type for the curtains? Am I right to go with solid white? I'll check out the cellulars also

You can use either type of shade. I would want easy up and down. Once and cordless. Much depends how much money spent, and how much quality you need. For outside mount? You want the least amount of head rail depth possible.

Or you mount inside......and be stuck with TWO shades and light will escape and no way to get a really good look unless you must do it that way. I would not.

You can do a natural woven wood shade as well, add a black out lining to it....then add curtain panels. Get style and texture. More money : ) Weightier to lift and lower.

You don't need them down in the day time.....

If cost is issue?

Oh I so agree with easy up and down. I won't buy anything that I have to tug and tug. I can't mount inside since the window case is flush with the frame. Strange, I know.

I feel like roman shades may be more insulating than the cellular. The window is a bit drafty...

But I think the cellular shades have a softer look to them as opposed to the roman shade which is heavy fabric plus heavy curtain....

For outside mount romans, I prefer them to be mounted above and outside the molding. Some wood molding has curves/contours, making it difficult to install the hanging hardware evenly. For blackout purposes, you will want all potential light sources to be covered.

Roller blinds or shutters (if budget permits) are easy to open/close and are good at blocking light.

Look, the cell shade, often maligned has a definite place in three ways:

I's insulating ( read "cell" ) which traps air

It lifts with a finger

It can be mounted on a molding, or just above a molding/outside mount

When it's completely up, and its white? it just "disappears" into that molding....virtually not noticed

@ Home Depot? Very inexpensive, and a great value

The point here is to separate blackout/privacy from the DECORATIVE aspect which are the curtain panels. "Cost consciously"

Unless you want to spend more money. : ) while trading some ease of up/down for style.

As suggested, all selections will have a pro/con

( shutters are never "black out" .Darkening yes! Black out? No.)

The real point is you can have any combination of things you want; style, coverage, etc..........that you are willing to pay for.

The shutters look gorgeous but will definitely cost more than I'm looking to spend. The roller shades is also an idea, but I think the cellular still has a softer look.

I like flat Roman shades with an outside mount. Hang it higher than your window, even with a high curtain rod, and let them sit right at the top molding during the day. You can get them in a cordless lift up to a certain width; your window looks like it would be within the dimensions to do cordless. I've used Blinds.com for fabric Romans and woven shades and have been very happy with them. You could layer it with curtains or just do the Roman shade in a nice lined material.

Does anyone have links to actual shades that would coordinate with the curtains I have? They're about 65" wide including the molding.

I don't understand. Coordinate how? What are the curtains panels, fabric, color ? There is no "about" in shade coverings. There's a measure in inches and fractions of inches, especially for width, and HOW you plan to mount them. You stated you have no depth to window casings, so you are outside mount for shade, no matter one or two, and two makes no sense really.. Your curtains over that neutral shade, ( hue ) in any selection? Virtually don't matter. They are the decoration over a simple and neutral element. They need not match....just harmonize

I posted the curtains in my first post.

I meant style-wise. Like the @stiley showed a beautiful combination in the first pic she posted.

I know there is no about in measurements, but I didn't want to bother people with sending links if the shades are only available in a much smaller size.

@ Stiley posted a natural woven shade, with no black out ability. It's more decorative and light filtering. Forcing you to add black out to the curtain panels, and to yank them closed in the evening, covering the radiator you do not want to cover.

As I stated.......you can DO that, with a custom sized natural woven shade, backed/lined with black out lining on the woven shade.

You can probably do that online with blinds ,com, or Smith and Noble. YOU must select the woven wood, and it probably will have a cord, due to weight. A combination of the face material, the lining. = more weight and a cord. With no cord and guessing length? That's about a grand on Smith and Noble, WITH blackout and cordless, at 65 inch width.

Go there, select and add your EXACT info.

Understood, I just meant style ideas in general, not necessarily that specific idea.

You have all that above. Only you can clarify/ modify to meet your needs and budget. And final style. There is a "give and a get" to any design, a pro and a con for anything: ). Including NO curtain panels, just a black out roman shade. That can be custom made locally for you. Any fabric you like, any good custom window treatment emporium. LOCAL.

Just a note that any shade, including woven, can be lined with blackout liner. And if it's an outside mount it should do the trick to cover the light spots. But the picture I posted with the woven shade was mainly to show how I would hang the shade/curtain combo.

@M. S do you already own the grayish grommet curtains and you're trying to coordinate?

Oh, that's good to know.

Yep, that's correct.
