Even a barn of a church can be made to look nice with the “Benedictine” altar arrangement. I do like nice curtains behind the altar. I think that is because the church where I grew up in Augusta had very nice burgundy curtains behind the pre-Vatican II altar. Later it was changed to gold, which I did not like. And then much later, prior to the new church being built, the curtains were removed and the cinderblock behind the curtains was painted red or gold, I can’t remember.
But this is from the Deacon’s Bench, Greg Kandra’s new church in Florida ( St. Ann Catholic Church in Haines City, Florida)
My home parish of St. Joseph Church in Augusta with red curtains at my sister and brother-in-law’s July 9, 1966 wedding, please note too the recently installed “new altar” placed on the three steps leading to the old altar but with enough room behind the new and in front of the old to allow the transitional Tridentine Mass, somewhat updated, to be celebrated facing the nave:

That's a shower curtain with a hole cut in it.
It looks sloppy.
If on a frame, this would be more successful.
To me, this is a fail. Bad design.
The Priest tuning to the (liturgical) East would be the Real game-changer.
The candles need the height that they have in the wedding photo (isn’t this a family photo of yours)
