There’s definitely been a downturn in window covering interest the last decade or so. We are lucky enough that there are blinds of some sort on almost all the windows, but I am an incredibly light sleeper and need room darkening curtains or blackout shades to sleep past the crack of down (also a dead silent room but have given up on that since getting married).

I remember buying lace with my mom when we lived in Germany and my grandmother sewing those into curtains for our home when we moved back to the States. I grew up in a VERY Caribbean house where curtains were the first thing that went up over many military moves.
