What are we voting for? Problem isn't the windows. Problem is the color of the wall above the windows.

To avoid creating a problem, don't crowd the windows with cabinets. Consider leaving these cabinets off altogether, or at least make sure you have enough clearance to install e.g. horizontal blinds or Roman shades. I would NOT have the cabinet company design a window treatment unless they are specialized in that skill as well. Get a window specialist and make sure he/she tells you the clearance you need to have a choice of window treatments.

May I also respectfully suggest purging and decluttering your cabinets? Clear glass fronts are best used only in cases where the contents are attractive, like art pottery or neatly arranged uniform dishes. To store the usual clutter we all have, I recommend frosted glass.

I think a trimmed out boxed valance in same finish and height as cabinets would look good. It would allow hardware for wood blinds or roman shades to hide and should give the appearance of taller windows.

A good idea might be to have to cabinetry continue around the corner. Take a look at some of the kitchens on our site for some ideas.

A print roman shade mounted close to the ceiling would look good on both windows. I'm assuming you are making the trim white on the windows and crown to blend with your new cabinets more. You could also find beautifully colored plates and mount them above the windows to add color and interest. Maybe 2 above each window.

I agree we will replacing the crown above the windows to match the cabinets and painting the trim around the windows. A print roman shade would be nice however I just want it to fill in the area of wall and will never put it down.

I've attached a picture of the cabinets similar to what we will be installing. They will go to the ceiling with crown molding to match. We are just trying to come up with an idea above the windows to fill in the space and would like for the windows to look like they go to the ceiling.

I like the idea of the roman shade. If you mount them outside the window molding, you could attach them well above the windows, bringing the eye up to near the tops of the cabinets. That way you can have them come down only a little over the windows, so you don't shut out the light.
