What's the name for those curtain / shutter things?
Discussion
I think they are called vertical blinds, after a bit of searching.

Nope, not them...
Imagine a hinged shutter, except it's a curtain - that's the idea. The top corners of the window each have a pole that reaches half way across the window, meeting in the middle. The curtain hangs from the pole. But to open the curtain, rather than the fabric sliding along the pole and bunching up at the sides, the whole pole swings into the room on a hinge, so the curtain (still flat) ends up against the inner wall of the dormer.
Hope that makes some sense!
