Paint has a well-earned reputation as the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to refresh a room. There's something deeply satisfying about the instant gratification and the transformational impact gained from painting the walls in your home. That said, what if I told you that there was actually a quicker, easier and cheaper fix to reimagine your space?

Enter, window treatments.

Never underestimate the power that a set of Roman shades, gauzy sheers or classic curtain panels have to up the ante in your living room design. Window treatments serve as a visual focal point and work double-time to express personal style and provide privacy for your family.
