Do your curtains match across the front of your home?
If you have a bunch of windows across the front of your home, do the curtains all match at least in style and basic color?
DH wants to change up the curtains in his office but I told him not to since what he wants won't match the other front windows which are right next to them and it will look messy from the curb if they don't match.

This is the situation at my house also.
I have some combination of curtains/blinds (LR) and Roman shades (bedroom/ office) on the front windows of my house. So I guess the style is similiar but they're not the same.
That said other than Cube's room they've never all been down in the 6 years I've lived here (I don't think my LR blinds have ever been shut..lol). It's the perk of a hayfield and a little traveled gravel road out front.

I like for the windows to look the same from the street, so we have matching bamboo blinds on all of the windows that you can see from the street, but they don't all have matching curtains.
My mom always had lined curtains, so that even if the curtains aren't exactly the same, it still has the same overall look from the street.
We have 2" blinds in all of the windows so the window treatments are in not visible from the street. However, I also line all my treatments in the same fabric so if they were visible, it would still be uniform (I line them to help prevent fabric fading, but the uniformity is an added bonus).

Plantation shutters all match. The fabric curtains can not be see from the outside.
I agree with you, it looks odd to see a house with different colored window tx from the street.
Like others who have posted, I line all the fabric curtains so that from the street they appear uniform, but from the inside, they're all different.
NONE of mine match, and I have 7 forward facing windows. All the treatments are white, however, but for the stained glass door (which I guess doesn't count as number 7. So 6 windows :-)
