Buying Guide
The types of curtains used in a room greatly affect the look and lighting of the room. For rooms used during the day that require good lighting, like sewing rooms, get curtains that let in plenty of light. Cafe curtains and sheer curtains let in a large amount of light yet provide some privacy. For rooms used at night or rooms where light may disrupt the use of the room, such as a nursery, consider heavier curtains to block out the light coming in during the day and provide privacy at night.
