Having large windows in your home helps make your interiors feel brighter, airier, and fresher. While privacy might be an issue, you can always solve this by installing picture window curtains. These window treatments are made with taller dimensions that can span from the top of the window down to the floor. Aside from their function, they also frame and soften the view, especially if you have a stunning panorama outside.
