Dormer windows can seem tricky to dress, but here you have the added advantage of a little space above your window, which I presume will still partially exist after the renovation.
Depending on the type of room, Roman blinds are a lovely luxurious choice. Shutters can also be made to fit dormer windows which make them a really neat, stylish feature. Generally, curtains are best avoided at a dormer window, as they can swamp the space and block out too much light.
If you're fitting blinds, lots of people like to fit the headrail slightly above the window to make the most of the light. E.g. for a Roman blind, if you fit it slightly above, when pulled up the folds will cover less of the window for maximum light.
Agree you are lucky to have room above. I think go Roman blind on all 18 (!) it will look much more cohesive. Measure the blind for as much each side of the window as possible. This keeps light from leaching in in the morning and looks super-neat when down! Good luck and be sure to show us the after pictures!
