Half curtains
Again a big no no for me unless it is a kitchen window, a bathroom or you have a wall mounted unit because of which you cannot see the wall at all. I know a lot of people with smaller windows stop the curtain at the end and not all the way down. Please don’t , a few more rupees to your cloth cost can just change the entire look of the room. Of course this is a personal preference and some may differ but one I nevertheless believe strongly in.
Note how the window on the right looks more formal and the window a lot larger than the one on the right just by bringing the drapes down to the floor.
Here the windows look bigger, the room looks larger and more formal with the curtains all the way down.
