Home Decorating Windows

Curtain rod question

last year

Hi All, I have a really long window ( aprox 9 feer) The shade is automatic. I am looking for a curtain rod to fit both length and diameter. A 1" diameter seems too small for the scale. My question is, can I get away with a 2" or should I go 3" diameter ? Pic of actually window and inspiration below.

I have 2" on a larger span with higher ceilings, so I don't think you need to go bigger.

I went looking for thing in my house that were round/cylinders in similar size to get an idea of scale! The 3" size is a big step up once you see it in real life.

Okay, that's what I was thinking too. Thanks for the help.
