Blinds/shutters for 1930s bay window

Hi, I’m at the end of the renovation of a 1930s terraced house in SE London. As such, I have about enough budget left to buy bin-liners - but only if the are own brand,

I’m looking for window coverings for a 5 window curved bay, for the ground floor front room.

So my options are:

Sell my firstborn and get Venetian shutters. Does anyone have any recommendations of an inexpensive SE London company and price estimate?

Get 5 separate blinds from blinds2go or the like - bit of faff having to lower and raise 5 separate sets.

Use Windowlene, until I’ve saved for a few months! Then just get used to no covers, or privacy.

Does anyone have any other cheap options? Nb there is a radiator directly under the window, so curtains are out.

We have 5 separate cheapo Venetian blinds from b&q in our bay. Originally until we could afford shutters but we're going to sell up instead. They were something like £8 each and it is a faff opening 5 blinds every morning but they offer privacy and still let light in.

Do those IKEA blinds offer ANY privacy at night?
Here's a pic of ours from outside this evening Smile Pretty good right?! I was surprised too!

We used a company called shutterlab, I highly recommended them. Definitely worth it! www.facebook.com/ShutterLabUK/
