In every house there are windows that need some type of window treatment. Window treatments can make the windows look better, they can make the windows tie in with the décor of the rest of the room, and they can also be used for privacy issues, and to block unwanted light from entering the room. You can hire someone to come to your home and put these window treatments up for you, or you can be brave and do the job yourself.
DIY window treatments can be as simple as a single curtain rod with a factory made valance hanging on it, or they can be as complicated as a set of draperies that has sheers, curtains, and a valance. Before you decide what type of window treatments that you are going to install you must first decide what you want your window treatments to do for you.
If you want your window treatments to be purely decorative in nature then you do not have to worry about the thickness of the materials that are used. You can hang simple short valances made of gauzy materials, or you can hang Roman shades. When you are installing decorative treatments the look is the most important factor.
