One of the most inexpensive ways to decorate any room in the home is to provide a bright accent with curtains, a cheerful note or something so lively as to start conversation just as soon as someone sees your curtains. Just in case you think curtains havent changed much, just look at some of the new designs and colors which are available, to say nothing of the new styles in curtaining. All rooms in the home have been exposed to the new things in curtains kitchens, living and dining rooms, entrance halls, bedrooms and game rooms. Just as refinishing furniture can Improve it, so can curtains be used to hide any number of construction faults in windows. They can en-- . .hance the view if you have one, or replace a poor view just in the way tiie curtains themselves are treated. Remember the days when curtains were mostly white or ivory? These are sometimes used, but the use is quite different from what it used to be. Curtains have plenty of color and design now, and they can be used to bring out room colors by harmonizing or accenting them. There are even certain types of prints available which will help to carry out furniture or decorative themes. These, used in curtains, can often be the most effective note the room has. When rooms have sufficient color and design interest, then add no more conflicting accents, and use plain sheer curtains. . non-sto- dreaming of a white QUIT youve had your rude awakening from what to some of d us was a nightmare.
