However, one problem with curtains is that they can be too expensive. Especially if homeowners are using drapes and large silk cloths for several windows, cost may be a major problem.

• If you have tall windows or glass sliding doors, use a vertical blind to further accentuate the dimension of the space. When closed, these blinds ensure that no light can come in because the panels overlap each other; and once they are opened, light can just flow freely inside the space while they stay compact and perpendicular to the window. They are operated either through string or a switch. Vertical blinds come in different widths and lengths, in different colors and materials such as composite blinds.
• If you want your bedroom to look dark enough for taking naps even during daytime, you can choose roller blinds. They roll up out of the way, especially the blackout variety which can cover the entire window preventing any light from coming in. Fabric louvered blinds are those variety that work best for this type.
• If you opt for a more natural and clean appearance, panel blinds are the best choice. They look simple and uncluttered, and make perfect sense for the modern minimalist look. They can cover large windows and doors, too.
• A room can also be transformed into an elegant looking space by using roman blinds. With strings, they can be drawn up neatly and appear tidy and flat when closed. They come in different materials too. There are faux wood blinds that add a touch of sophistication to the room.
• A venetian blind can also add elegance to a space. When hang on windows, venetian blinds can roll up horizontally by operating a string or a turn switch. There are a variety of these types that can range from plastic to wood blinds. Vinyl horizontal blinds are also available.
