You could use a solar shade. They're easy to wipe down, and if you choose the right openness, you'll have your privacy, too. http://www.selectblinds.com/solarshades/extreme-roller-shades.html http://www.selectblinds.com/solarshades/designer-roller-shades.html Good luck!

Hi, Both comments above are what I would do. A Roman blind in the same fabric as your main window will tie the two different windows. See the picture, where I had a small window in an awkward space in the dining room, next to a large window. Keeping the same fabric helps continuity where the windows are vastly different sizes.

Hello, in our home under each window in the wall there is a recessed space. We are looking to pack this out so it is flush with the rest of the wall and also insulate the space. Has anyone else done this? Would love to see some finished work so I can get some ideas about how it will look

I have a weird shaped window that I am having difficulty solving. I need to be able to control the light, while still being able to see out. The room gets cold in winter (south facing), and hot in summer (gets sun early morning and late afternoon). I need to control the light so my fabric and paper don't fade, need the lovely even light for working, and have a lovely view from my desk. Venetians or vertical blinds would be perfect except for the angles. Any suggestions?
