Need professional decorating help!!!

I am looking to add drapes, for decorating purposes only, over my existing cellular blinds. The rod I have can extend to 21” but I don’t have to use the entire length. I would like the drapes to only cover 2-3” over the existing blinds. My questions are:

  1. do I use the entire 21” of the rod or, shorten to only what is needed to hold the drapes?
  2. do I center the rod - with the middle point being the end of the window castings? Or, do I place the majority of the rod on the outside of the window frame with only 3-6” on the inside (over the existing window)?

Any help/advice and pictures are greatly appreciated!
