Why not, you can use cotton kitchen curtains as they are durable, lightweight and easy to wash. Pay attention to the wall color when changing your kitchen cafe nets.

So much can happen on an exterior...trim, exposed rafters, doors, windows, siding, stone, brick, stucco, roofing, gutters and downspouts....hire an architect or a design/build firm to help answer these questions prior to building....like hiring an interior designer for help with furniture, these professionals will help decide the style of the exterior of the house and how that style interacts with the function of the house.

Agreed. and since windows make an essential and large part of a space, Curtains/ blinds become an important design element.

Steel - it is heavy but most durable option but it is costly and may catch rust in a few years, However, you can treat it with chemicals to protect it from rusting.Heating capacity is fast. Aluminium/UPVC - Its light weight and durable, it is cheap but very bad against fire. UPVC would burn in seconds if it happens to catch fire. UPVC windows come with limited color options and same with aluminium ones. However, there are few companies who have now started providing wood looking UPVC windows.Moderately resistant to heat. Wood - Wood windows look very rich and you can mould it to any intricate details. It all depends on the quality of wood used, Old Burma Teak is the best wood. You get various options with polishing and painting. They are best to give a vintage look. Wood will cost you more but its worth the investment since they are maintenance free and with right wood chosen and treated, it will remain durable for years. Resistant to heat but catches fire.
