Plantation Shutters- Will this look strange?

Hi everyone, I wanted to get some shutters for our bay windows and got quotes for the 2 bay windows and the other window in the front which is my son's bedroom. As it's a box room and we can only fit a loft bed, I've just realised it wouldn't be safe to put shutters on that window as his bed frame is in front of the window so wouldn't be able to open them fully to access the window in an emergency.
Would it look strange having 2 bay windows done but not the other front window? The bay windows are one on top of the other then to one side, we have the front door and above that is my son's window which is about 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. I was thinking I could do blinds in his room so it has a similar look but not sure if that would look worse than nothing at all.

How about wooden Venetian blinds for the small room. I don't think it would look strange even with a really nice Roman blind either.

I think plantation blinds are either all or nothing, so I do think it wouldn't look the best.

Can you not have that one adapted? Additional hinges or just hinged differently?

if the windows are both on view out the front I think it's an all or nothing deal with plantation shutters. But if it's a small window hidden by hedges/trees then meh!

Thanks everyone, I think you're right. It's quite a big window and not hidden so may look odd. Good idea about having them adapted though, I'll ask about that.

We had shutters installed by a company called ShutterLab. Might be worth contacting them for advice on different options. They were great during our design, offer excellent recommendations to suit our requirements
