One thing that occurs to me whilst watching all those "Property
Ladder" house renovation shows on TV.

The renovators usually redecorate in a stark modern way -- rooms often
do not have any curtains!

This "lets light into the space" but seems bonkers for the English
climate. Freezing in Winter and not much privacy, either.

Nah, they just scumble over the window glass in a nice black or
purple, it saves on curtains, or box the windows in with a nice piece
of pegboard.
