Window treatments become tired looking after several years of sunlight and use. If your window treatments are due for an update, replacing them is one of the easiest home improvement projects you can do yourself, and it’s also one of the most noticeable and least expensive. By swapping out the old for the new, you can give your home an update without breaking the bank.
