I have open shelving between 2 sets of base cabinets that a 10' counter runs across the top of. To hide those open shelves (that are below the countertop), I anchored the long velcro strip to the cabinet by using small screws with washers. The curtain is pleated and I sewed the 'soft' part of the velcro to the top of that. I can either lift the skirt or just rip off the curtain as far as needed and then smooth back on when finished. If you can do the tension rod way that would work, too, but it would be a bit more obstructed to view what you have inside.
