Do you eed privacy? light control? define 'shades'. Are you thinking of roller shades or something else?

Please post more pictures from further back so we can have an idea of what the room looks like and see the decor you have in the room.

#1 Shades are ugly and give a temporary and cheap look to a space.

#2 What do you want to bring to the room drama/function/both?

Covering all the walls floor to ceiling is a very expensive rich look. After all the expense of curtain panels-pinch pleats on traverse rods I don't see any reason to have shade too!

To pull off that look you need a deep stack space right and left of the window. You aren't showing us if that possibility exists.

For the average suburban home I would place a curtain rod between the stacked casings, put the shades on the top glass if sun control is an issue and only then.

A lot depends on how much sun you get . I use solar shades to control heat and UV but let me keep the view and they give daytime privacy so I use drapes with the shades if night time privacy is an issue. UV rays can do huge damage to flooring and furniure so it needs control . I love the look of floor to ceiling drapes as long as they are at least 2.5 x times the width of the rod and you can do motorized ones for that tall space . I hate blinds that block the view always . I use solar shades in 10% to control the heat and UV and the darker the shade color the better the view so either charcoal or bronze depending on your decor.

The window treatments that look the best fit the style of the home and room.

I disagree with arcy that they look cheap, sometimes they are the perfect answer for a space.

This hardly looks cheap to me and feels perfect for this room:

These drapes are more appropriate in this room:

and this is appropriate in this room.

Thank you all so much for the suggestions!

I was thinking woven wood or linen shades, but I am open to other ideas! Especially if they are outdated or will give a cheap look.

Privacy, at least on the lowers, would be ideal as there is a house behind ours. Sunlight could be controlled in the uppers, but hasn't been too much of an issue.

I don't have a lot of room on either side for a deep stack, unless I take up space from the glass, which I am open to.

This living room is really a blank slate. We are in the process of remodeling, adding built-ins and purchasing new rugs, furniture, etc.

I would describe my taste, at least in this home, as transitional / modern organic. The walls and casing are SW Shoji White.

I'll try to get more photos here soon to give a better sense of the space.

Thank you, all for your input!!

A full picture of the wall would have been helpful.

Yes go full height.

This might be beyond your DIY abilities.

Here is an AMAZON link to drapery panels up to 130"

The Shade Store can also do custom height drapery.

IKEA used to have some sheer very tall panels at one time. Not sure if they still sell them.

This is great inspiration! Thank you for the resources!
