I have a bedroom window where the lowered ceiling makes it impossible to hang curtains that completely cover the trim on the left side of the window.
Would a floor length curtain still work there even though the left side of the trim will still be visible? Or should I go with a curtain that just matches the interior dimensions of the window?
Or do I need something completely different like roman shades for a window like this?

Honestly I think a floor-length curtain could still work if it feels intentional overall. I’d rather do that than something that looks too short or overly “fit around the problem.”
You could do a tension rod in that space, and do floor length curtains!
Get some nice fabric from Michael’s and pin it up to drape/cover the window. When I lived in my parents basement they had the same style windows and I took some cheap lace fabric and draped it over the window to cover the window but still have light come through. I think a Roman shade would be nice if you want to block out the light and have the option to open it, but if you’re looking to avoid installing something I think getting a pretty fabric to layer and pin up would look nice!

For example this is a photo of my bathroom, and I used the same fabric from my old basement room to create that curtain drape over the top, it’s the same way I styled them for the basement window but since it was small it covered the whole thing and I was able to put it up and down when I wanted. I think something like this would look nice with the style of your bedroom!
Extend the window to the floor with a mirror. Have one cut to size at a glass shop. Then hang full length curtains
