What type of blind/curtain should use for a high window?

Hi,

What options are available for the window below? I dont want to have the window covered during the day, I want natural light to come as much as possible but privacy is important at night.

My room features very high windows, which I determined not to cover up with heavy curtains. So I opted for a long, toffee-colored window scarf made of a shiny fabric that works with both the marble fireplace and the flat walls. Draped over heavy, carved gold-colored finials (which control the height and weight of the window), the scarf reaches the floor on one side of the window but only slightly above the sill on the other side. A traditional window treatment would box the window in by stopping the visual flow around the room.
Other options I suggested is following:

• Tab-top sheer panels
• A fluted wooden rod and finial with a gold finish antiqued with black
• Panels attached by rings and clips
• A European-looking swing-arm rod topped with a lace or other sheer fabric treatment.

You shouldn't scrimp where drapery rods and finials are concerned: this is one place where you should spend what is necessary in order to get good quality.
