Purchased two pairs to use in my two story foyer window. Wanted privacy, eliminate draft and yet allow light to come thru. It does all of that. I used two pairs on a 55" area because I like more fullness. The one pair might have been enough and allowed more light to come thru but I loved how it looked. I used a hand steamer to "iron" them while they were hanging. Much easier than ironing! You won't be disappointed in these.
