In an apartment or old house it's very often the case that the last place a person looks for decorative options are the windows. It's easy to paint a wall a different color or put a few pieces of new furniture in a room, but one of the most visible ways to really dress up a space is to use a window treatment with a style of shade that's not simply a one-dimensional set of white vertical blinds or a gray set of horizontal venetian blinds. Using decorative treatments like bamboo shades or plantation shutters can add a whole other level of depth to a room.
