what kind of window treatments should I use on extremely small windows?

Question by secret: what kind of window treatments should I use on extremely small windows?
I live in the basement and I have a total of 3 windows which are extremely small. The ones in the study and the kitchen are 1 ft in height X 2 ft in length. The ones in the bedroom are 1 ft in height X 4 ft in length. These windows are located near the ceiling and not in the middle of the wall if that helps. Putting up regular sized curtains seem inappropriate and I’m scared it may overpower the look of the room.Not to mention it may look weird. What are some ways that i can cover up the windows for privacy reasons? Are curtains the only way to cover the windows and if so, what can I use? What are some alternative ways if there are any?

If you keep it simple by using a valance the small window will not be over dressed. Use a roman shade or blinds for privacy.
