Curtains


A sheer or net curtain is one that is made from translucent fabric, such as a loosely woven polyester voile or a cotton lace. They look beautiful, light, flowy, and romantic.
 Black Out Blinds, are usually refers to a roller blind, blackout blinds have a coating on the rear of the fabric to prevent light penetration. They in my opinion should only be used in business meeting rooms (for when using the projector), or in a home movie theater. I  think they are too dark for regular use in homes.

Shutters, each of a pair of hinged panels, often louvered, fixed inside or outside a window that can be closed for security or privacy or to keep out light. They are a super cute fix and the picture I picked are indoor shutters.

 Finial:
-A distinctive ornament at the apex of a roof, pinnacle, canopy, or similar structure in a building
-An ornament at the top, end, or corner of an object
Tie Back:
- A decorative strip of fabric or cord, typically used for holding an open curtain off to the side of  the window
Curtain Lining:
-A protective piece of cloth attached to the inside of a curtain
Valence:
- type of top treatment for window dressing, the valance is often made from fabric that is shirred on a rod
Grommets:
-An eyelet placed in a hole in a sheet or panel to protect or insulate a rope or cable passed through it or to prevent the sheet or panel from being torn
