Window dressing

Right then, firstly I'm no doubt going to be posting quite a few topics like this, as we've finally got into our new house, so it's a blank canvas, and my ideas/creativity is rather limited. Also, we're having to re-do every room, so hopefully there'll be quite a few before and after pictures.
So, dilemma 1: What to do in this bay window ?? I think that the only option is either blinds or curtains.
I think that with (vertical) blinds it would be rather 'office-like' however I'm open to be convinced. Horizontal blinds is also an option.
Curtains - I've looked around Houzz and most of the curtains in bay windows are full length. Yes, they look lovely, but because there's a raditator in the bay, it'll stop too much heat coming into the room.
At the moment there is a single chair - that's not staying - we're going sofa shopping this weekend - probably end up a 2 seater and a small table in that gap.
Here are some pictures - one with the curtains closed so you can see what they are currently like (FYI I have a feeling that the curtain option will be the choice, but with a different material), and the other picture with them open so you can see the window style.
Also, I've added a floorplan of the room.
Colour - we'll probably stick with some degree of neutral for this room, and a neutral carpet. There is a fireplace (surround in dark wood), a mirror on the chimney breast (dark wood). The sofa I have a feeling will be of a grey'ish colour, maybe brown.
