I know the decorators will say it is perfect at the ceiling, but personally I don't care for the look. I would lower the rod to window frame.

I don't care for rods to the ceiling, but if you lower it now, you'll have holes to fill in and paint and you'll have to shorten the curtains. Personally, I'd close them just a little bit, maybe an inch or two on each side, so they look more balanced and it's not enough to take away too much light or maybe you could extend them out a couple inches each side.

Very nice serene bedroom. Have you tried using rings? I really don’t think the bench looks very good there. Something more substantial with a comfy, plush cushion.

I hadn't thought about the bench but I'll consider lowering the rod. Shadylady the wall repair makes me cringe but want to get the look right!

I feel like the bench and stark white band at top of window throw it off.
