Which window dressing suits your room?

Besides the decorative aspect, window dressings can benefit your home and each room in many different ways: provide privacy, offer draft exclusion, filters daylight, assist with acoustic levels and allow us to control light into our home. 

Window dressings come in a variety of forms and materials. Which one suits your room?
