Windows are the wall sockets that let light and wind into a house. Therefore, they are an essential ingredient of the design of a house. Its ideal location and its length is an important facet of a home and a room. But the question posed here is: “Should they be covered, treated and decorated?” Of course, the windows must be covered and that, too, beautifully. Just for a moment try to remember the last house you visited that had the windows uncovered. Can’t think of one? Why not try to imagine being entertained at a friend’s house, but erase the curtains, rods or blinds in the room? Did this wild imagination make you feel welcome or uncomfortable?

A bare window makes a room feel incomplete. It does not allow an inhabitant of the house to feel safe. It gives everyone on the outside a chance to look within. Definitely does not make a guest feel comfortable. A bare window is mainly a sign of a neglected house or a house that people have just moved into; or the stereotypical home of happy-go-lucky bachelors secure in the fact that girlfriends and mothers won’t visit. It goes without saying that a well-covered window keeps privacy intact, allows the building to control light and wind, and is one of the most important factors that make a house feel like home.

The other important factor that no housewife can avoid is to treat the windows in style. Dressing a window requires the use of curtains, blinds, curtain rods and other accessories. Designs and fabrics are what differentiate a modern room from a formal one. Colors and finishes add to the look one is trying to create for a room. It makes the most sense for a room owner to use wall coverings and accessories that make them feel comfortable and are in tune with their personalities. If one cannot express his need for a window decoration by himself, he can always seek the help of a consultant or interior designer so that he will have beautiful and fashionable window accessories.

It’s easy to see why window covering treatment and style are of paramount importance in a home. It is obvious that window coverings are necessary to convert a building into a house. The finished style ensures that family members appreciate and enjoy their habitat. A well-covered and aesthetically dressed showcase is essential for guests to feel comfortable. A window decorated with decorative blinds or elegant draperies or designer curtain rods will enhance the look desired by the owner of the room: cozy, manly, feminine, official, fun or colorful.
