- Consider using blinds instead of sheers to avoid excessive
fabric bulk while maintaining light control and privacy.
- Opt for curtain rods that are at least 1 inch in diameter to
ensure they are sturdy enough for heavy drapes like
velvet.
- Avoid a white-on-white kitchen to prevent mismatched tones and
consider adding contrast with a different color for the island or
other elements.
