If I have blinds on the windows, do I still add curtain? It seems I should since there is space between the edge of the blinds with the window frame, the light could still come into the house when I don't need it.
Mies did a lot of nice things with curtains that ran from floor to ceiling.
A thick curtain, of velvet or a thinner decorative fabric with a thick opaque secondary backing, is standard equipment in most hotel rooms for the purpose of creating full darkness at any time of day. Some people put them in their bedrooms at home.
window treatment: blinds, shades, or curtain

I was always told that it is very important for your curtains to match-your drapes. This is for some reason important when selecting a husband too?
Yes it is a good idea, I really like it.
I wish I had an answer for this issue but I went to architecture school so...…..
