window covering

Drapes the glass

A window covering is anything used to cover a window—curtains, blinds, shades, shutters, or drapes.

The term is broad and functional, favored in real estate listings and home improvement contexts: The apartment comes with window coverings in every room.

It emphasizes utility over style, grouping decorative and practical options under one label.
