I love the contrast of the natural brown against the neutral walls. It’s exactly what I expected. We ordered 5 and one of them arrived defective but Wayfair is taking care of a replacement for us. These shades do NOT provide a great deal of privacy but I knew that when ordering. I’m using drop cloth curtains to complete the look and together they provide all of the privacy we needwant . I’m ready to order more the rest of our windows.
