Quick - Roman blind or pencil pleat curtains?

[DitaVonCheese]

This evening I am supposed to be making something to cover our bedroom window (a job I have been putting off for months).

I am using Sanderson Dandelions fabric and due to brokeness thought it would have to be a Roman blind to use less fabric. However, I have just realised that (1) it will be a bit tight in terms of seam allowances so will only be a couple of cm below the window (stupid big repeating pattern) and (2) I do actually have enough fabric to do actual curtains (though not quite double the window width - 2 x 137 cm rather than 2 x 148 cm). (I have also put a 20 cm cut in one of the bits of fabric before realising that curtains were an option but reckon I can magic tape this back together and shouldn't be too noticeable ).

So slightly too short Roman blind or slightly too narrow curtains? Does anyone care? I don't think DH or I do, I just want to get this done

Oh if it matters, there is a smaller side window in the room too which has a plain coloured Roman blind on it (though I guess if I do a Roman blind on the big window then will have enough fabric to do another for the smaller one, if I don't lose the will to live).

Thank you if you have actually managed to read this most boring of posts :)

Think I'd prefer a roman blind to short curtains. (I like curtains that go down to the floor!) Especially as you already have a roman blind on one window.

Thanks for the reply, I think this is comfortably the most boring thing I have ever posted (and I've had some crackers )

Curtains would be marginally too narrow rather than too short but they wouldn't be floor length - tbh I think that would look a bit weird in the room anyway plus there is a radiator under the window so wouldn't have floor-length there anyway.

No prob, am having the roman blind / curtain dilemma at the mo anyway. Can't believe how much thought have put into it . Have always had floor length curtains even over radiators. But had new window put in bedroom and not sure how to dress it. Hmmm

I was completely paralysed by indecision the other night - waaaay too much thought going on here! Roman blind now underway, god knows when I'll actually finish it

Have a longish curtain in DD's room and always have to tuck it behind the radiator when the heating's on, which is a pain, so going to change it I think ... one day ...
