Hmmm. Lots to consider. Yes, that's a closet door with wonderful storage space behind it. There's a similar one in the upstairs hall that currently houses four of my machines. I'll be setting up the sewing room soon. I have to, don't I? Must sew my curtains and blinds in there.
For this window I thought of a blind, not a Roman, but a roller. I had a Venetian in my last house with a pole above that I never did make curtains for. I'd still like the softness of a curtain though. I have to watch what I spend as the home is temporary. The landlord said he'd contribute to the cost of the fittings. I don't intend to take those when I leave. I don't want to spend heavily on fabric, either. So glad I can create furnishings myself.
I'm also in a quandary about all the different tracks and poles out there. Do I go fixed, extendable, steel track, aluminium track? I've been researching and reading different reviews but I'm still undecided.
Thanks for your suggestions.
