I'm remodeling a 30X22 foot room. It's a kitchen and living room all in one, but not my main living room and no TV.
The challenge with this room is the windows. There are 7 windows plus french doors. 4 of these windows are 6 feet tall and only 2 feet wide. They all currently have 2" wood slat blinds. I think I want to dress up the windows, but don't know what to do with the skinny windows. I'm not crazy about valances in general. My style is casual contemporary leaning toward traditional, but the kitchen is going to be ultra-modern with a 9X7 foot island.
What can a person do with this many windows PLUS having these narrow windows?

Roman shades are simple to make and can have a very clean, contemporary look. They can be customized to your windows very easily. Mount them on the inside of the framing (which is probably how your slats are mounted anyway) for the neatest look. These can be made with interesting fabrics and matching ones could be made for the french doors to give the whole area a uniform, streamlined look.

I hate (with a capital 'H') vertical blinds. They're very old-fashioned. Install three window panels (I pick panel or grommet best). This means, you'll transfer the curtains out of the best way whilst wanted, and canopy the window adequately whilst wanted. Good good fortune!

If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you should use, it's something that you would be insane not to. Go here https://tr.im/6p4J8
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.

my mom had some off size windows in her house and the problem she faced was that any kind of covering blocked most of the light. she had been learning stained glass art for a while and decided to make some fittings for her windows. they were beautiful and with all the colors she used the light coming in became part of the theme of the room.
wish you well,
