How large are the windows? Are they attached? Do you want drapes or blinds?Your question is a little vague.

Depending on the size of the windows you could use drapery panels and dress each window individually so you don't need a large custom rod. You can also consider a vertical blind (more expensive) or a series of plastic blinds which you could re-fashion into Roman shades (lots of easy to follow tutorials). If you're in a rental and can't make permanent changes, you can hang inexpensive rods using Command hooks/products and hang curtain panels or even king sized flat sheets

On line there are a couple very good wood blind companies very inexpensive, made to size in all colors, sizes, fake and real wood (fake is quite real looking for humid areas like bathrooms) Excellent prices. I did most windows under $40 all custom plantation shades. All delivered within a week, self-installed in hours. Ended up with a whole house that looked thousands of dollars in custom high end blind work for a few hundred. (and increased the value accordingly)

Roman shades area great way to dress a window providing there are separations to fit the blinds into. I have an 8 ft. long window which I made Roman shades for. They are very easy to make. I am sure you could find instructions on the web.

With Roman shades you can purchase any material you want. You can use simple 2x2 wood for the top support and smaller dowel for the bottom. Cheapest and most versatile solution.

If you want privacy for your store front, maybe consider spray frosting the glass? You could tape some designs so it is not totally frosted. Could stripe, make circles or even a logo to advertise. I've frosted 1/2 of a bathroom window and it looks very modern and works well. Keeps me from seeing an ugly scene at the bottom of my window. .

Thanks Janice. I would love to do that. The owner of the building would prefer that I not do that. Thank you anyway.

Another thought would be applying a tinted window cling which could be removed .
