Privacy Is Not An Issue

Curtains are an essential part of any home, as they help to add style, privacy, and insulation to a room. They also help to block out light, which can be important for those who work nights or need a dark space to rest. In The Netherlands, however, they are not considered as important as other home fixtures.

Back in the day, Dutch windows were floor-length and people would not add curtains to at least have some privacy. Well, they probably didn’t have anything to hide from their neighbors. These days, many still don’t have curtains by their windows but others often use blinds or shades to provide privacy.
