Thank you everyone for your feedback! I think my plan is to return these ones, and either look around for a more suitable curtain or sew some. I'll raise the rod to the ceiling and widen it, then have the curtains come just to the ledge. It's not perfect, but we're in a rental, and it will be a lot better than it was! I really liked the look of roman shades, but unfortunately I think they're out of the budget- especially as these windows don't seem to be the standard sizes the shades come in, so it would have to be custom, which I'm not willing to invest in in a place I don't want to be long term. For curtains, I liked the idea of the pattern because it has a nice red/rust colour in it and a blue, which are the accent colours I'm trying to pull in to the room. I find the room to be quite dull- doesn't get a ton of light, has wall to wall beige carpet, and white walls. I want to pull some colour in to it and liven it up a bit! I'll be looking to get an area rug at some point too, so maybe I'll do something with more of a pattern for the rug and plainer for the curtains. So if I've resigned to having curtains, I guess my next question is, do I go a similar colour to the wall (white/off white), or a solid colour (which one?), or different pattern...? Thanks again everyone!

Seeking advice on install of pergola curtains and ideas for keeping them from blowing besides weighting the hem.

I like drapes in bedrooms and in your case probably ones that wrapa round that corner but IMO we need to see the bedroom to advise about what type of drapery.

I think roman shades in a fabric with some pattern would look nice. Otherwise if you prefer drapes, then either sheer, gauzy fabric in an off white tone would work. The drapes could frame each window where you would have panels on each side of window. Or have the drapes stacked on only the far ends of the window nearest the walls, meaning they would only be on 1 said of each window.
