When to choose glass curtains

The glass curtains are the most classic that there are and for this reason they adapt to almost all environments and furnishings. It was once the typical model of more intimate houses (while in those with large spaces baroque curtains with sticks and valances were preferred), instead today this curtain also lends itself to lofts with a very high square size, as well as to salons with very high ceilings.
