Swap curtains and blinds for sliding panels to create a modern look.
Using screens and panels is a great way of controlling light.
When hanging panels infront of windows try using fabrics with different thicknesses to enable you to create a range of effects depending on their position.
Alternatively, use panels to create a new room. Beautiful panels of fabric will also screen off sections creating new spaces with little effort.
