Certain window coverings provide varying effects to your windows. Sheer curtains can be considered to be a good idea for lovely window treatments since they are mainly good insulators and filter any excess and unwanted sunlight that may enter a room; they also add softness to the existing frames of the window and also provide privacy.

I am sure that the windows you are talking about are not that deep and that the current window treatments take up the recess of the window. Also if it is like places I have lived they dont want you to remove the provided window treatments.

take some time, really look at the window and frame and wall…
maybe even make something that is freestanding from the floor.

Then design something that suits your needs.

Most importantly… patent your design and try to improve on it then sell it… There are probably a ton of people out there with the same problem as you and you could make money off of finding the solution. Then you can stop renting and put whatever kind of curtains you want up on the windows that you own.

What treatment I should take for my old door, window frames?

Question by Chad: What treatment I should take for my old door, window frames?
My doors and windows are all kinda natural maple wood color. Now they looks pretty old with a lot of dust. I want to clean them up, and apply some kinda transparent paint or something to make them look nice. I don’t want to apply some other color, because I do like the natural wood color. Can someone help me on what steps I should take, what type of paint, stain or other stuff I need to use?
Thanks.

Hi!

The best thing to do with them in my view is to seal any knots, fill the cracks and holes, prime and paint them as per your wish.Choosing your paint wisely will determine how well it will last and wear. Whether to use latex or oil-based, alkyds or acrylics depends on the surface to be covered, the conditions it will face, and any base paint underneath.So select the paint type as per the requirements.

The alternate solution is you can go for the wooden blinds.Due to the comfort factor people are extensively using wooden blinds for their windows. The curtains are losing out in the race as they have to be regularly changed and cleaned. In terms of wooden blinds it has to be said that they require least cleaning.
