During trips to Europe, I have seen lots of different window coverings. Many of them are on sliders like barn doors on the outside of the house. Most windows in Europe open inwards (french door type or tilt and turn) so they can access them without getting stuck. Some nice ones are painted metal with stars or moons cut in them to give a nice dappled light when closed then just slide open when you want the light. Very low tech but works well.
