The first item on the agenda when my partner and I moved into our new house? Take down the bulky shades that covered a third of each window even when they weren’t pulled down. Realistically, though, we do need some kind of covering (our neighbors are close by).
In search of unfussy, unobtrusive options, I stumbled on these simple cloths on Pinterest—an elegant, airy riff on the tea-towel-as-window-cover idea.
Have a look.
