When furnishing a home (and I'm speaking from experience here), it's easy to feel like it's finished once the larger furniture pieces are in place — a sofa to sit on, a coffee table to style, and a rug underfoot.

Curtains are like piping on a cake; it might not be the first thing you think of, but it's a detail that can ultimately tie a design together. You want the style of curtains you choose to complement your broader scheme, serve a functional purpose, and, of course, add decoration. Choose too heavy or too short, and your window dressing goes from cherry-on-top to absolute flop.
