Windows are usually the last thing on your list to deal with when you're taking on a room makeover. But trust us: You don't want to skip over this detail or hastily choose a "make-do" option. Instead, give your windows proper flair with a dressing that makes a statement and pulls a room together. The right treatment will make a world of difference!
The black, vertical stripe on these semi-sheer curtains can give a living room just the type of modern detail you didn't know you were missing. Bonus: These repel dust, pet dander, and other air-borne irritants.

Here's a great option if you're either A) no good with installing hardware (no judgement), or B) looking for something temporary: This blackout blind has a self-adhesive strip, making set-up crazy-easy.

While we've always been fans of industrial-inspired hardware, this window idea has recently moved to the top of our inspiration list. Could it be because we keep seeing similar styles in celebrity homes? We think yes.

We came across these pretty pom-pom-adorned curtains in Walmart's kids' curtains section, but, tbh, we'd totally put these up in our home office or bedroom.
