Bay Windows•Bay windows are a beautiful feature of homes. Unfortunately everyone wants to cover them up with curtains.

•Bay windows are generally found in older homes, they have usually been well considered and the windows have lovely proportions and design features but these homes tend to have little or no insulation, therefore we need to decorate the bay window with curtains to reduce the draughts and heat loss.

Bay Window solutions bay windows are generally decorated with a

curtain pole or rod, track that follows the line of the window.

Sheers can be used if privacy is a requirement, otherwise, leave these out, to see the windows and their view, and to keep the house warm at night.

So floor length curtains are best, hung from a ceiling mounted track or pole / rod and drawn back to each side away from the windows.

A variation on this and a good solution if you don’t have any fixing areas to use a ceiling mounted track is to ignore the fact that the window has a curved form and use the wall as the line for the curtains, in other words, use a standard curtain track or pole / rod, this will only work however if the bay window has a lowered ceiling.

To hide the track or rod / pole and add decoration a window valance can be used.
