If you’re looking for a reasonably priced home improvement project that dramatically changed the look of your interiors, look out the window. If you’ve got old fashioned metal Venetian blinds or tattered curtains, you’ll be surprised at how much of a difference new curtains will make.

In fact, changing window treatments can change the whole feeling of a room so dramatically, that you may not feel the need to take on other, more expensive projects.

One of the other nice things about curtains and drapes is that they can actually be made at home for a relatively low price. If you or your spouse has basic sewing skills and the ability to measure fabric and windows accurately, you can easily sew up curtain for your home. Homemade curtains can save you hundreds of dollars over store bought or custom drapes.

When getting entirely new window treatments isn’t an option, consider something that’s less complicated, sheer curtains. These drapes cost a lot less than a full set, provided you don’t have to buy a full sewing machine.

Light that’s filtered through curtains is warm and fills the room with a golden glow. Creating this effect can change the entire feeling of your home.
