These are the windows. Sorry it's so dark but it's very overcast. On a sunny day it shines on my cloth furniture which is going to fade them over time.
Ideas for window treatment on tall chalet windows for our cabin

I don't want vertical blinds. And I want to be able to see the view. I don't want anything modern, looking for something more rustic. they can be stationary or able to open. I can't spend more than $1,000.
You could try the clear white fabric blinds which have the chain on the side to open them. They block the heat of the sun and you can see out of them. You will see them occasionally in restaurants.
Our in-laws have a wall of windows on one side of their home. They have a fabulous view, but, too much sun can make the rooms hot. They installed shades that can be raised or lowered electronically from the top or bottom. They are very minimal and non-intrusive. Check out Hunter Douglas and Blinds.com. They can be lowered to the bottom so your view isn't blocked. Home Depot also advertises them, but, I'm not familiar with them. Lutron made the ones my relatives have and they are fantastic.
Great ideas but I don't think either idea will work.
How about a reflective window film. You can see out but the sun is diffused coming in.
I think I would rig up something like a sail on each window. Fasten it permanently along the slanted tops. Have it cut to shape and have grommets in the inner lower corners with cords attached and run up to space above the windows through an eye hook there run over the the right (or left according to the window) thru another eye hook and coming down to where you can manipulate it and fasten it by wrapping it around a cleat to hold it in place.
i had the same concern. I went with window tinting. I no longer have to cover upholstired furniture due to the sun.
Have you had any trouble with the window tinting peeling or bubbling?
I would leave the top windows as they are and put up sheers or lace panels on the bottom ones.
