window treatments
Drapes and blinds
Window treatments are coverings or decorations for windows—curtains, drapes, blinds, shades, shutters, and valances.
The term is common in interior design and real estate, where it encompasses anything that dresses a window: The living room needs new window treatments.
It often implies a coordinated decorative scheme rather than purely functional coverings.
