How to choose Room divider curtain?

Hi, I live in a studio apartment with very very old kitchen appliances and Ebony color cabinets. I wanted to shield the bad view of the kitchen from the living space and installed a brown curtain rod (12ft length) at a height of 7ft from carpeted floor. The side walls are cream color painted but one wall is brick. The other area of the room is modern with lake view balcony. I like modern style, warm look. Please help me answer the following questions. 1) What height of the curtain is perfect? 7ft, which brings it all the way to the floor? 2) What color to choose? It has to be clean in the day as well as romantic(yep for special occasions :) )in the night preferably with yellow lamp lighting. Personally I like red. Will it work? 3) What kind of fabric to choose? 4) Plain or design? Thanks, Krish.

1. I think for you a layered look would be good. The best thing to use is good quality sheets. Good quality sheets are hemmed already. You can use the ring clips to attach them to the rods. Use one color on the kitchen side and another on the living room side. Use two king for each side, four total. Cream for the living room side and a brick red for the kitchen side. They will compliment the colors in the living room wall and the kitchen cabinets and that brick wall you have.
2. I would recommend checking into. Hufcor Incorporated, Janesville, Wi. They make room dividers for all types of situations from hospitals to Conference room to having done dividers for the White House. Just do a yahoo search and it will bring up the phone number and address. Good Luck
3. I would go with a design -it is more fun. Here are some cute prints: http://www.interiormall.com/cat/ndisplaycoll.asp?c1=Fabric&book=1495
