Thermal curtains or blinds for giant window?
We've just moved into a lovely cottage in Scotland. It has a gorgeous room with a huge window overlooking the garden - but even though the window is double glazed, the room is still very cold a lot of the time. The sun shines through it in the morning but not the afternoon.
My husband and I are between getting a giant curtain pole along the top and huge thermal curtains, or trying to put some sort of blinds in between the columns. However, what type of blinds would work? Would they still provide some insulation for the room?
The middle doors are sliding doors so would not open inwards.
The whole window is about 5m long. They are just under 3m tall.
I have never had to deal with a window this big before, so any advice is much appreciated!
We are also not looking for decoration/colour advice - more about what would work best for keeping the heat in overnight and would also block out enough light for someone to sleep in here on a sofa bed when needed.
Thanks so much!
