Making windows look better
Question: I’ve had the same pinch pleated drapes up in my living room for almost 15 years. What can I do to make my windows look better?
Answer: The first thing I would suggest is take them down plus the sheers if you have them. Look at the window and see how much light comes in. Light will make so much larger, and brighter. You might want to consider going back with a totally new look; drapery panels with a large grommet that slides on a decorative rod. This is a great look for your living room, dining room, or even the bedroom, plus they are very easy to open and close. Another option for a totally new look could be wood shutters, the wider ones look fantastic. They are available in lots of different woods and stains. The width can vary from 2 or more inches. They are very versatile and can be used in any room.
