So, how does one go ahead and provide appropriate window treatment for bay windows. Before realizing that, let’s recall the design of bay windows. Basically a bay window has three sides or let’s says it is one large window that contains three windows built within it. The window in the middle is the largest with two windows, one each on its either side joining the larger one at tapered angles. The idea of having such windows in the design of any home is to get a larger outside view, though one also benefits by getting more of light that livens up the room and gives the feeling of extra space in the room. Often, the homes built near beautiful places are designed to have such windows and offer the pleasure of getting a wider view of scenic nature from within the house.
It’s not uncommon to leave bay windows uncovered to show off their beauty. Yet, circumstances may demand their being provided with appropriate covers, especially for the purpose of having some level of privacy within. Choosing appropriate curtains for such windows is a bit more difficult than for other designs of windows. That’s because you are looking for something that fulfills your specific requirements without affecting the aesthetics of the window.
While trying to assess the best kind of window treatment, you need to consider the features that make your window special and exclusive. For example, your windows may have beautiful frames that you would like to highlight. Under the circumstances consider using Roman shades or other types of inside mounted cafe curtains and shades.
However, windows that are rather closely spaced, a broader effect can be achieved by using drapes. Such curtains may be pulled over the wider portion of the glass. It helps to have simpler shades or blinds by choosing light shades of the drapes. You could use rod, pocket or ring based curtain for the purpose. You should be aware that installation of window treatments on such windows requires a bent rod or another flexible support system to properly cove the windowpanes.
Getting curtains for bay window is not so difficult as it sounds. The wide choice of colors and designs available in the market helps getting the perfect material.
These drapes make a marvelous combination and it will be worthwhile using a little of both the schemes. Omit the option of window curtains and consider blinders instead. Of course, a long drawn out curtain on a bay window looks more appealing, but at the same time it affects the available space in the room. The main point is how many bay draperies should be hung. Having multiple window treatments enhances the privacy, while hiding the not-so good quality of the frames installed.
Generally, a pair of drapes is used for wide-angled windows. With draperies parted in the middle and draped on either side, a bay window acquires sleek looks. But, if the window frame has dull or boring looks, consider having colorful curtains.
great looking bay window indeed two thumbs up!
