Many houses are designed with tall rectangular windows. These windows not only add beauty to a house but they also make it look grand. Some people add semi circular arch windows on top to make tall rectangular windows look grander.
Normally, most windows are not left bare. You have to put window covers because naturally, you would not want people outside to see whatever you are doing inside. You also wouldn't want to have too much sunshine during the day. Window treatments will give you the privacy that you need as well as enough protection from sunlight and heat.
