to have a curtain on one side only?

Not really AIBU but I am totally at my wits end with the lack of curtains in our lounge. We have double doors with a window on each side and built in bookcases. If we have a curtain on each side of the doors then the two windows will be covered up and it will be asymmetrical. I'd rather acknowledge the asymmetry by having a very wide curtain on one side only. Is this possible with a curtain pole? Will it look awful? Can you use passing rings and brackets for this? I'm very confused. Are there any curtain experts out there?

I probably need a photo or diagram but yes, you can use bypass rings.

I’m struggling to imagine this! Could you do a diagram? Or photo?

C curtain rings will bypass a centre bracket but not the join on an extendable rod.

Blinds? Or curtains which push right back so only a small sliver of the windows is covered? You don't have to do the drapy tie-back thing.

It would irritate me to have one window draped over and not the other but I am a bit of a symmetry person.

I will update with diagram at some point tomorrow! Thanks for replies so far... ideally would use passing rings on a normal curtain pole if possible.

You could use a draw rod, and pole tape if you have to use an extendable pole.
