There are many ways to cover windows, and although much of the time we want to let the light in, if you want some privacy or in the evenings when it gets dark you need to be able to cover the windows of your home.

Curtains and blinds are of course the way to do this for most people and there are lots of different types and styles out there to suit every need and budget. Making the right choice for your window coverings comes down to a few things however…

Use – The room that the curtains will be in and how that room is used will also be an influence in the choice.

It is also worth considering whether the room can be easily looked into from other homes or the street.
