[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've always had darker curtains, in every room of my house. Recently though, I've been changing up the look of my house. A small redecorating of the whole house. Mainly painting, curtains, some small furniture, etc. Curtains are a huge part of a home, in my opinion. First these curtains are anti-dust allergy, pet friendly curtains. Also, they're able to easily slide through the curtain rod painlessly. They don't pick up hair or dust. I love the texture and design on these curtains. They could go with any decor. They do an amazing job at letting some sun in, as well as keeping my privacy. I cannot see out them from inside or outside. I also love that they're versitile, I put them in my kitchen after much debate. I love them so much I plan on buying some for my bathroom, and guest rooms!!
