Today’s homeowners have a huge variety of window treatments from which to choose when they are decorating their properties. Whilst the increase in choice that has occurred over the last few decades is most definitely a positive development, it does mean that people living in the 21st century need to put a little more effort into the task of choosing appropriate window treatments for their homes than did those who lived in previous centuries.
