Window curtains Pictures and Tips

• hanging a translucent curtain over a window to frame a view


• a curtain can easily make a lovely doorway to separate eating, dining or entertainment rooms. It enhances privacy while maintaining décor


• long curtains can often give a false impression of a higher ceiling, making the room look larger and more elegant
