"curtains are only partially opaque"

Not any curtain I've ever encountered - people used to have net screens for privacy and curtains for warmth. But that's going back a bit (i.e. my youth).



Indeed that's what I'm thinking about where the curtains are open most of the day but the net screens are always closed.

It is still a decently common practice in a lot of European countries.

Other option would be to use rolling window shutters on the outside.
