Window Treatment - House Shutters Ideas

A window treatment is an interior decorating element placed on, in, around, or over a window. Often, a goal of professional window treatment is to install the elements which enhance the aesthetics of the window and the room.

Treatments for covering the window may include:

Hard treatments - Hard window treatments are made of hard materials like wood or vinyl.

- Window blinds have louvers which allow one to open to a view without lifting the shade. It allows one to manipulate the light to create a customized feel.

  - Wooden blinds
