A look at different options for window coverings and how to choose the best one for your home
It’s at this time of year when our window coverings are perhaps most important. Providing not only another layer between us and the cold and dark outside, the act of drawing curtains, pulling down blinds or closing shutters is a way to feel like we’re keeping winter at bay, creating a cosy atmosphere inside.
