The living room often serves multiple purposes – a place for relaxation, entertainment, and sometimes even a workspace. For such a versatile room, consider layered window treatments. Combine light-filtering shades with heavier drapes. This allows for privacy and light control during the day, while heavier curtains can add warmth and block out light for movie nights.
