Excessive Drapery
It’s time to face reality. If you’re still covering your windows with heavy, overly fussy drapery complete with window boxes, valances, and elaborate tiebacks, then it makes you and your house look woefully out of date.
Home decorators these days gravitate toward lightweight and airy window coverings. When in doubt, opt for plain white curtain panels paired with wood blinds or natural woven roman shades.
