These curtains are exactly what I wanted. They look awesome at the windows in our brand new home. I was looking for a classy style and pattern with a little wow and these curtains do just the trick. Our downstairs gets a bunch of natural light and they provide just enough darkening to block out the high afternoon sun but still keep the room illuminated. They are great quality curtains at a reasonable price. I will definitely be ordering more for the rest of my windows upstairs. I was just holding out to see if I liked them. Yes!
