The Window Treatment Guide: Choosing by Light, Not by Name

Start with the room's orientation and how you use it. South-facing living rooms usually want light filtering that tames glare without losing the view. Bedrooms want blackout. Offices want glare control for screens. Only once you know the light behavior should you choose the product — roller, roman, honeycomb or drapery — that delivers it. The material and fold come last, and they're where the design lives.
