After recent comments on another thread, I got to thinking...
At the moment I live in an upstairs flat, with no one overlooking me. At the moment I have curtains up in the lounge, but have noticed that they don't really match the room's decor. With this in mind, should I remove them and leave the windows bare, or should I purchase drapes more suitable?
I await your responses.

Just use some newspaper or old cardboard boxes.

None of our windows have curtains and haven't for the last 10 years.. our bedroom has a roller blind which is more to keep the light out than privacy... Leave them bare... |

I would recommend beef curtains - if you can get hold of them

Is it genetically possible for a man to have an opinion on curtains, cushions and soft furnishings in general? I don't think so.

I've tried and nope, I just can't do it. A complete blank. What kind of 'man' notices the curtains don't match the rooms decor? Herthab must definitely be gay. |

If you want something in the window, just get some wooden blinds.

I don't get the third option. Who hangs curtains on a fence?

Oh yes, feigning opinion is a necessity when talking to the other half, but I'm not married to Hethab. Couldn't find the clip on opinions on fabric samples, so he's the defacto man opinion on cushions:

Just spent a week in a cottage with fantastic sea views and it was a privilege to wake up in the morning with the curtains open. It seems wrong that people even think about pulling curtains when they have views like that. We have a roller blind at home in the bedroom to keep a lot of the daylight out early morning but don't use the blinds downstairs.
