Lostinwoods, Covering the holes should not be a problem with a small dab of painters putty. If you are lucky or have planned enough the frames may cover the area left behind by hanger or clock. IMO, you should use colored photos with white frames as the room seems a bit dark as described by you. You may need some focus lights for the frames. Have a look at some of these photos.

Pawan, The function you are describing is of a Awning Window. Yes , you can still have an exhaust. You need to get an opening cut according to size of your exhaust and mount it on the top part. You have described it as being made of cardboard. It doesn't look like a cardboard though. If it is indeed a cardboard then mounting an exhaust on it may not be durable. Use UPVC or Alum composite sheet. Changing the top part to Awning may still be feasible. But you will need some local help. Thanks, Nitin Cornerstone Designs, Bangalore.
