Anglo, I agree. Why say something so rude instead of scrolling on by a thread that you can't be helpful on? It seems to happen fairly often. I think finding just the right shade of either color to match paint might be a challenge, unless you find the curtains first, then match the paint to them. So I'd go with whichever curtains you find that look most like what you have in your mind. Are you opposed to a print? I think there are some great fabrics that mix those colors. I keep picturing vintage barkcloth, but don't really know if vintage fits your style...I found some prints I think would look good with those colors:

it looks very cool bare as it is unless you want to regulate light/need something for privacy-i'd skip them completely if you need them-I'd go for smth minimal like woven shades..only on the lower ones there are also transparent white cellular(I guess) blinds..that seem to dissapear) but if it;s only question of aesthetic-I'm for leaving them as they are

The whole hang it to the ceiling thing really depends on the room. Back in the day we used valances. Hanging a valance up to the ceiling hit the rod and gave one the illusion the windows go to the ceiling. You didn't see the gap between the casing and the ceiling. W/o the valance there is no kidding anyone. If your ceilings are sooo tall it tempts you to hang art above the window casing and below the rod then you have hung the curtains too high!! Because you have less space not more between the door and the ceiling I think it would look fine to hang the rod high. It's about how weird the gap between the casing and rod look!!!! Most sliding doors work best when you stack the open curtain all to the side of the immoveable pane. With your little wall space this will cover most of that glass. Do you need more light than that during the day? That's a much bigger issue to consider than how high to hand your rod.

Thanks for responding. I have a bay window with three arched leaded glass windows (the two side windows are each 22” wide, the center window is 62” wide). I plan to have a continuous road hung high with only a single panel on each end. The panels (when I finally get them) are hung via grommets. I don’t want the black rod spanning the center window to appear obtrusive against my Wool Skein wall color. Thoughts?
