1. Are your sofa or chair cushions showing signs of wear? If it?s leather, maybe the seat cushions are discolored, lighter in the seat area than the rest of the sofa or chair.

But the range of choices is so wide, including blinds, shades, shutters and curtains, that some homeowners have a hard time deciding which they prefer, or whether they can mix their window coverings according to the room where they are installed.
