Great question.Choosing the perfect curtain and blinds for your house will totally depend on the room and your personal liking.I think you should get vertical and roller blinds.Light curtains for safety, privacy may be the better choice.Curtains should be hanging on each side of the opening,letting the light in - for the showings.Also important - to make your windows clean and sparkling.I would like to recommend blinds over curtains.Blinds were always favoured over curtains from the start-anything to keep a fresh appearance.I hope that's helpful!Keep sharing.

Thank you so much for replying.

What color should I go for?

Two layers of curtains may be your answer- sheers against the window and thicker curtains on the outer level. The sheers can be pulled shut during the day for privacy and the thicks left open. And do extend the curtain rod or pelmet at least 6 inches beyond the width of the window on either side to let maximum light in. It will give the illusion of wider windows. Finally, let the curtains length be down to the floor. It adds a lot of style at very little extra cost
