Do kitchen and living room window treatments have to match?
There is no hard-and-fast rule that kitchen and living room window treatments must match. The decision on whether to match kitchen and living treatments depends on the rooms’ proximity to each other, the style of the home, and of course the design tastes of the homeowner.
