I live in a old drafty house and don’t want to heat the dining room. Last year I used gray curtains and I really needed something pleasant to look at. The colors are beautiful and it hangs on a tension rod nicely. I would prefer that it had grommets thought.<br>The first picture is of the BACK of the curtains a dark room to a lit room to give you a perspective on how much they block light.<br>** THEY ARE NOT PRINTED ON BOTH SIDES which is fine for me and not what I was looking for. This is hung with a tension rod and I would buy them again for $30.
