A bay curtain rod, customized in the size of your curtains in the shape of the area, can allow you to hang drapes that will cover all three windows with just two panels. Drapes are stylish because they provide a clean simple cut to the curtain. They come in all different designs, colors, and lengths. If a bay curtain rod isn’t available and you have room, separate rods for each window work with this design also, but you’ll need three or four panels, instead of two.
Some bay windows have a space between each window, so that the windows are not really touching or appearing to touch. Draperies will work well for this type of window because they are not only practical, but they add a decorate accent to the entire room. When there is space between each window, leaving the drapes hanging in the middle of the extra space is perfect. Having the curtains rods placed inches higher than the windows and the drapes longer will elongate the windows and make the space between each window seem smaller.
Drapes and valances work wonderfully together, especially if the look wanted is elegance. The valances can do two things here: they will hide the curtain rod that will hold the drapes and they will add a touch of style to the drapes. When paired together, whether the drapes are open or pulled back, the valance remains in place to give a tasteful and elegant look.
Creating the right look with curtains for bay windows can seem challenging at first, but a touch of imagination and a few ideas can create the mood you want. Thinking of them as one window, rather than three will give you many ideas on what will suit your living area best. The goal will be to make the most of your bay window and to draw the eye to that area, drapes, blinds, and valances offer many different options to make that possible.
