Older flats and rented rooms: start with what you can change
Rooms in older buildings tend to have modest windows and few sockets, and many of the people living in them are tenants, who should agree with the owner or building management first on where a track or headrail may be fixed. Once the limits are clear, choose. Plain curtains come in fabric grades from standard to premium, so the budget is easy to control. If you want motorized but there is no socket by the window, a rechargeable battery motor needs no wiring at all. The thing to check before ordering is window size: motorized rollers start at 50 cm wide and 100 cm tall, and anything smaller means looking at a different type.
