What should I do about window treatments?

Prioritize privacy and light control first. Consider blinds, shades, curtains, or a combination. Cellular shades offer insulation benefits and energy savings. Measure windows carefully before purchasing. Temporary options like paper blinds or tension rods with curtains work well while you decide on permanent treatments. Layer curtains over blinds for maximum flexibility.

Why It Matters

Window treatments affect your privacy, energy efficiency, and the overall feel of every room. Choosing wisely enhances comfort and reduces utility costs.
