How to Decorate With Tier Curtains
Tier curtains, also known as cafe curtains, add a decorative touch to any room and are especially popular in the kitchen and dining-room area. A half curtain covers the bottom of the window. A valance goes over the top of the window. Unlike other types of curtains, the upper part of the window is left open. This allows sunlight in while allowing privacy. Does this Spark an idea?
