Dressing up

Window treatments can define the look and feel of a room, controlling light levels while also bringing colour, pattern and texture to a scheme. Their style and design, however, is also heavily influenced by the room in which they are to be installed. How much privacy is needed? Does the room call for black-out linings? Is the window susceptible to draughts? The answers to these questions will help to determine the right choice of window treatments.
