BAY WINDOW CURTAIN DESIGN OPTIONS
Bay Window Curtain Designs
What makes
bay windows different are the many ways you
can change the look of the room depending on
how you differ the window treatment design.
Once you have decided on the amount of
formality you can start on the various
options for the final design.
There are always three or more separate
windows that are involved in a bay. The most
obvious
design would be to do them as three windows
using three separate but equal treatments.
This certainly can be accomplished
effectively but they can also be treated as
one large window in many different ways. One
attractive method would be to have a tied
back panel on each of the far sides of the
bay and a Valance that stretches over all of
the windows. This creates a one window look
and usually has the effect of enlarging the
room. As one window treatment there is a
greater ease of combining it with a
furniture setting as one whole decorative
unit. It is always better not to feature the
windows separately, as you would with three
separate window coverings but to include
them in the whole room setting. We believe
this is accomplished by treating the bay as
one window.
Using this same one window approach you
could install one macrame ring lace valance
across all of the windows and macrame tiers
in each window separately. If there is a
privacy need you can use a pleated shade or
mini-blind in each window. By combining the
two ideas you can have tied back panels on
each side, a valance across the entire
length of the bay and separate tiers or cafe
panels in each separate window.
With special order curtain rods you can even
have draperies and sheers that open and
close across the entire
bay. A valance can be added as well.

As you can see, the
only limiting feature is your need for more
or less privacy. Actually, if you think
about it, you can also treat two or more
adjacent window on a wall with the same one
window type options. If you have a corner
with a window on each side it can be treated
in the same manner.
