softyjain, If the windows need to be replaced I recommend looking at fixed steel to maintain the narrow profile of the windows and small window lites. Using fixed instead of operating will be a cost savings if you don't need to open them. Another option for hanging from the ceiling is a decorative light or chandelier. That way you still have light into your ceiling at night. We offer Renaissance solid bronze windows that don't require any finish or finish maintenance. Architects designers love the rose bronze color, which closely matches copper gutters. http://www.houzz.com/projects/152134/Renaissance-Solid-Bronze-Windows---Doors-by-Progressive-Solutions You may also be interested in this ideabook- http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18543834/thumbs/Bronze--Copper---Steel-Window-Ideas

The house is a lovely double-wide manufactured home with a gorgeous view of the golf course, a pond and excellent tropical vegetation close to the lanai. I want a relaxed look so I might try linen shades rather than your other ideas.

Depends on the windows. If they start from the floor to the cieling then to really enjoy the view you can place movable furniture a little away from the windows facing the windows. If the windows are starting from a little above the floor then you can think of permanent fixtures like bay windows, study area with table etc. There are lots of options on house you can search for both types.

Hello ramarao, This is the outline furniture plan of your given layout. Some measurements needs to be rechecked. If you can do some structural changes like the door from the drawing room to some other room and few minor changes, we can plan it better.
