Inspiring Window Trends

I'm trying to figure out what I want to do with our windows.  Right now it's just standard venetian blinds.  They are high quality as far as venetian blinds go, but I want something with a bit more character.  
I like the look of lush long drapes, but I don't like the fuss of them sometimes. I also really love the crisp no-fuss functionality of roman blinds, so I'm wondering if I should just do roman blinds or if I should layer them...

I feel like if I use a vibrant or bold pattern for a roman blind drapes would be overkill.

I do like the idea of hanging drapes up at the ceiling to create a more open look.
