Please show us all four walls of your room.

I generally prefer ” fabric ” window treatments rather than shades. Since you have a clear view of a neighboring house i would surely want something for nighttime privacy. A soft look would be sheers and drapery panels.

In certain circumstances, yes, it is fine to opt out of window treatments.

I don’t have them in my kitchen for example.

But in your case I thi k you need something.

While I live seeing panels and romans on other people’s windows, I don’t have them.

For my Florida home I have all plantation shutters. In my NY home I have wide enite venetian blinds.

In your case you need something. At night people will have a clear vision into your home.

i have cordless blinds on each of the windows that i draw for privacy in the evening. will post other angles when i get a chance. thanks for taking the time to respond everyone!

I know you asked about window treatments, but I find that the wall slat treatment and your oh! So! Beautiful sofa, do not work together. Back to the window treatment. Sheers, because I feel that works with your sofa really well.

I'd embrace the quirky a little more than you are doing. Taking your coasters as inspiration.

I will sya those slat walls and the style of the sofa are not working in my head. As for the windows it heat or UV an issue at all? I like solar shades for control of heat and UV they allow you to keep the view during the day and give you daytime privacy I usually mix them with drapes for nightime privacy .

You have two different styles going on. Do you use both sitting areas? There are no chairs? Did someone give you the checked sofa or is that your style too? I'm confused as to what style, color of the window coverings would work best. Beverly's suggestion might be best but it could look too heavy behind your dark sectional. BTW, if you clean your camera lens you won't have all that haze in your photos.

Now that I see the other side of the room, I would look for window treatments that are drapes in the same color as your walls. Add blinds if you need light control. Match the same window treatments on both windows.

thanks everyone for the input and suggestions!
