People still do it here all the time...(Poland). In fact, people often have their "winter curtains" and their "summer curtains"...the winter ones are heavy insulated ones and their summer ones are lighter.

and I was just in a home yesterday where they basically curtained (floor to ceiling) off a whole section of the house--with a lot of windows in order to help the rest of the house stay warmer.
