- Sheers can be replaced with open weave linen or thin cotton
for a more elegant, light-filtering window treatment.
- Avoid tension rods for window treatments as they reduce natural
light and are best suited for showers.
- For rooms with a centered front door, create distinct zones using
smaller rugs and purposeful furniture arrangements to avoid a
divided look.
