Curtain pike question

[soupdragon321]

Hi, we’ve had our loft converted and need curtains. The French doors are 220 wide by 115 drop. I’d like voile during day and curtains for night. Do I get a double curtain pole, or double brackets with separate pokes or completely separate brackets? Need to keep costs down as only me and DH up there and we’ve spent far too much as it is! I mean, is there a huge difference in IKEA type curtains and made to measure ones? I need helps as I keep putting this decision off and we can’t keep scooting down past the window ! Thanks 🙏

For a voile + curtain combo, I'd go for a double pole/bracket, which seems to be the neatest solution. Not sure how two separate poles would work - one fitted above the other if you have enough head room? but they would have to be different depth to prevent the voile and curtains from clashing?
Regarding cost differenct between ready made and made-to-measure, you're potentially talking £££s. But can you pick up ready made ones in the size nearest to your measurements (137 cm seems to be the shortest standard drop) and get the hem taken up (DIY if you're handy or by a local dry cleaning/clothers alterations service)?

You could just use a tension rod for the voile, that’s a cheap solution
