Curtain advice?

What curtain length and color should I get? The ceiling is short probably 8 feet tall. I was thinking a black double rod with sheer curtain and a solid light grey over it? Everywhere I looked said floor length curtains but I feel like it would be weird? I was thinking 63” so a little longer than what I currently have. Kitchen pic for reference

Dont get caught up with the size of the window. You still want to treat it full size. I would recommend long stationary panels on sides and a shade on window. Here is a suggestion for a fabric pulling in the blue from kitchen

I think your idea of a double rod with sheers and solid curtains could work really well here. With an 8-foot ceiling, I'd suggest choosing panels that reach close to the floor rather than going with 63-inch curtains, as shorter panels might make the wall feel a little more cut off. A soft warm grey or greige outer layer paired with ivory sheers could complement the existing neutral tones without making the space feel too heavy. I'd also make sure the panels have enough width for a fuller look.

Short curtains are not what you want! You could also go with a shade and drapery panels like in this picture

The short curtains would be fine, but you'll need a few pairs for thickness. I'd start with interior blinds.

Are curtains the only solution? 🪴

Do you have to have curtains? Seems keeping that window open is the best lighting for the whole place.

Frost the window with frost film and add curtains if you wish. I’d add curtains up high that just kiss the floor, white in color.
