Hi Am following this thread with interest - I have windows like this throughout my house and am finding it really difficult to decide on suitable treatments. On the upside it means the house always looks light and airy! We currently have a series of temporary roller blinds downstairs which work pretty well, but in the bedrooms we have curtains - although they now cover the radiators so not keen as a long term solution. Would also like to have blackout in the two main bedrooms. Does anyone know if extra wide roman blinds are available anywhere? We'd like an unfussy look. Suggestions and pics most welcome. Thanks.

Ditto! Lol. Carpet is much quieter and safer (I've slid down my previous 'all wooden' steps before now!) but I hate it too. If you have good treads, I'd go for a stylish runner which looks nicer. Get a busy pattern ie stripes or funky geometries to keep the dirt less obvious.

cover the tiles with something thin such as Amtico

Hi there, You could go for glass alone: Or employ a glass/steel, crittall-like design:
