In my opinion window treatments can really make a difference in a room. I have mini blinds in many rooms and I prefer the ones that are cordless. If you have children then these are the better options and safer options in my opinion. Some people just prefer curtains or shades and others do not have anything at all. I like the look of curtains and drapes depending on the room and what the other decor it. Windows and lighting can really make a difference in the way a room looks.
