Window Treatments

If the lines and trim of a window are decorative and pleasing, it is inadvisable to hide them behind heavy draperies.

Graceful, arched windows that are simply curtained with one layer of rather coarse net, hung inside the trim is far better than anything heavy and overpowering.

This affords just enough protection without obstructing the view.

In a  dining room a window may serve as background for a low sideboard. No over hangings should, be used, sufficient protection being afforded by a curtain of coarse cream colored net with a border patterned after Italian filet lace. Coarse fringe in the same shade adds a finishing touch

Sometimes it is desirable to conceal the outside view. A net curtain in an all-over design accomplishes this, at the same time allowing sufficient light to filter through. It is more transparent than a closely woven material and yet insures the same amount of privacy.

In a breakfast room or kitchen the French doors should have only one set of hangings of cream colored lace patterned allover in a fine geometric design. These may be looped back during the day. The simplicity of this window treatment accents the window trim instead of hiding it.
