Window treatments
Speaking of lighting, natural light is a double-edged sword – it looks and feels wonderful, but if not controlled, it can do major damage to your furniture and your artwork. And in South Florida, a western facing window with sun light flooding in will blow up your electric bill in the summer! Window treatments filter out (or entirely block) natural light and are an important element of any room. In addition to the look, consider how much light you want at all times of the day, and plan your window treatments accordingly.
