Options for blinds for bay window

    Hi I am looking for suggestions on what blinds and/or curtains we could fit on the window (attached images). The part on the left opens inwards (two different ways, swinging, and leaning in from the top), as opposed to opening outwards, which is making things tricky. A few blinds specialists we visited suggested putting the blinds on the wall itself, rather than in the wall frame for the window. But they noted that where the two blinds would meet in the corner will look bad, and there will be a noticeable gap in the blinds. Do you have any suggestions?

    The window is called a tilt and turn window.

    Best option is top-down-bottom-up blinds from luxaflex. Privacy with a View - luxaflex.ie .

    These blinds attach to the window frame itself, and they move with the window. Like this:

    To be honest these are the only real option if you want something neat, and also want to retain full functionality of the window without the blinds being in the way. But they are also quite expensive.

    Mounting the blinds on the wall instead will look odd IMO, but also it's a bay window and the corner is going to look silly.

    Other alternative is just have no blinds and get curtains instead.
