Energy efficient window treatments can help keep your home cool during the summer and warm during the winter. curtains for windows are typically the same width and height as the window itself or slightly wider and taller—depending on whether they are fixed inside (Recess) or outside (Facefix) the window's reveal (i.e. the wall recess within which the window itself is fixed).

Short curtains can be used in kitchens where you need more natural light to come in. Then there are room-darkening curtains or blackout curtains—as the name suggests, these are meant to keep the room dark and are mostly used in bedrooms or the entertainment area, perfect for when you want to catch a movie without interference from outside light.

In this context window blinds include almost every type of window covering, whether it is a hard or soft material; i.e. shutters, roller shades, cellular shades (also called honeycomb shades), wood blinds, Roman shades, standard vertical, and horizontal blinds (also called Venetians).

A number of horizontal wooden slats are joined by corded pulleys which can either gather all the slats at the top of the window to reveal the view or simply angle the slats while allowing some light to travel through the blind yet retaining some level of privacy.
