ᐅ Mount curtain rods higher or let the roller shutter strap show?

I am currently considering curtains or curtain rods for the living room. Now I’m thinking about the best way to install them. I noticed that our roller shutter cords extend quite high. Is that normal? This only became obvious to me when I started thinking about the curtains. If I mount a curtain rod at the usual height above the window, a piece of the roller shutter cord sticks out at the top. I wonder if that looks good? I could install everything higher, but then the curtains would basically start right below the ceiling.

How have you solved this (for those who don’t have electronic shutters)?

I still need to buy the curtains a size longer; I think I measured a bit wrong. But overall, I like it.

Why is it so dark inside the house in broad daylight?
Nice curtains.

Nice curtains.

Windows are too small. Not enough windows. Windows not facing south. Windows covered... Curtains?
But no, it’s all just the camera’s fault 😉

That may be true. When I focus my phone camera on the window, the rest of the photo also becomes darker.

That was a joke. It IS dark, you are right. The lamp is even on.
