Hi everyone! I am hoping somebody out there can help me with a decorating crisis!!!

I want to buy some curtains for the living room. I have 2 windows with the same measurements: 36 inches in width and 58 inches in height. If you are wondering, the windows are not on the same wall....they are no where near each other. What I would like to know, is what type or style of curtians I should buy. Please keep in mind I do want to let light in. I also do not want nothing fancy....simple suits me just fine.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreicated.

Look for a heavy materal if you want to keep out the light. Depending on your decor you could go with a cafe style or a full drape. If its casual the cafe will do nicely. I like the tab style myself. The drapes come in different styles some more elegant then others. Tab and pocket style are casual with pleated being dresser. Drapes can also give the illusion of wider windows.
