window treatment
Glass frame dressing
Window treatment is an umbrella term for anything that covers or decorates a window—curtains, drapes, blinds, shades, shutters, valances.
The term appears most often in interior design and retail contexts: We're looking at window treatments for the living room.
It sounds more polished than "curtains" and encompasses the full range of options.
