Window covering suggestions

I have these too cover and there is also 2 square windows on another wall. One sits above the sink and the other is just on the wall with nothing below it.

I would like to have matching, but wouldn't want to fit into the upvc or have a curtain completely across the back door and 2 windows as its often used and would be a nightmare to keep pulling back.

There is no headroom above the door to fit anything without it stopping the door from opening.

Is there a solution???

    TWO curtains - one either side. The you can draw curtains across both windows and leave the door free. Just a thought.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but i would like to cover the glass in the door as well. Thats the predicament.

    Meaning i wouldn't want to have a curtain covering the door in the evening as its often used and wouldn't function very well.

    I like roman blinds. I have three separate ones on one window and they look good "staggered"

    I also like venetians in a kitchen with narrow slats. In your situation if you needed to open the two windows, could be tricky through the venetians.

    Roller blinds can be very attractive with a scalloped edge and braid for example.They would be cheapest option.
    If you go for blinds, ask for a "stay" on the door blind, i.e when lowered it is fixed at bottom edge so it doesn't flap when you open door.

    With so much glass, you could opt for blackout blinds which protect against sun and cold.

    There is room above for any of these options.
