Update the cafe curtain
Cafe curtains, which traditionally cover the lower half or bottom third of a window, offer privacy while admitting light from the top. To make them look fresh and elegant, modernize the proportions. Instead of hanging the curtains halfway up the window, he raises them one mullion higher. (Mullions are the wooden strips between panes of glass.) In a window without mullions, raise the curtain roughly a foot above the halfway point; experiment until the proportions look right. Consider curtains of white linen with a simple pinch pleat, using pinch-pleat hardware from any fabric shop.
Tip: Align your curtain rod with the mullions, or the window treatment will look disorganized.
