We have floor to ceiling windows that had slat blinds - I hated them. The view is too pretty to block off - these drapes - and I ordered 12 of them, look great. I managed to get an area rug from Wayfair that matches the colors - the whole room, which is a huge kitchen, eating area, looks put together. I did make some ties to open during the day - really wish they made ties to go with these drapes. They had to be ironed in the beginning - the only down side - and 12 made a long night of ironing. They are holding up well - besides looking good, they keep out the sun and cold - perfect for where I live.
