For me ... I get very little direct sunlight in my sewing room, so when I am there, I throw open the curtains on the patio door and windows, so it can be open and bright and so that I can enjoy the view! When I am not there, they are shut to keep any outside eyes from peering in. (and that's not a problem, just a precaution!)

I agree with this reply completely. I have a 12x20 utility building turned sewing playroom and
it only has two small windows. The a/c takes up most of one of those and the other one is
partially blocked by a shelving unit.
I have bright lights on both ends of the room and the walls are a very light color so my
curtains are more decorative than anything.
I also have a door that is five foot wide and I put drapes over it bc I love the color/design
and they are much nicer than looking at a huge door, although I do have something
in front of at least half of it.
Who needs five feet to get in or out of a sewing room. Thankfully not me, lol.
