Maybe you could do a valance along the top and get some shades?
Hi Brenda, you can pull this off, they make these in a variety of colors too!

Put one long round decorative rod above both windows--just one rod--not two. Buy grommet curtains or curtains that you can use sliding clips with and the curtains can slide on the rod to open and close the curtains night and day. You could also use tension rods in the window openings for sheer curtains to give you more privacy during the day along with the curtain panels. I would hang the rod past the windows so that when you slide open the curtains they don't cover the windows so much and they will let in more light when they are opened up. You will probably get used to the short curtain look even though it's not your first choice.
You can put the curtain rods inside the frames of the windows and hang the curtains from there. Alternatively, you can hang 1 or more rods above the windows and hang short or long curtains across all the windows.
I put my curtain closer to the ceiling, about 3 inches. The extra height made the curtains look longer.
Thank you Iris now if I can get my husband to understand that.
Hanging curtains high will always make your windows look larger. You definitely need to at least go beyond the windowsill molding.
Roman shades can look nice and can look nice when they end just beneath the window. Also, regular curtains or drapes look okay when ending just beneath the window, especially if you place a piece of furniture in front of the window.
