If you have some big bay windows, you may be wondering what kinds of window coverings to use to make them look their best. While they are beautiful and give you a great view, since they are designed in a unique way, finding the right baby window curtains can be a bit difficult. It can be hard to decide what is going to look the best with your large bay window, and you want to make sure you go with drapes or curtains that will enhance your décor while allowing you to enjoy the window and the view as well. Here are a few great ideas that can help you pick out the right curtain options for your beautiful bay windows.
Blinds and Valances
Then is what you see through this window onto the world so lovely that you have no desire whatsoever to look out through any other window?—and that you even make an attempt to prevent others from doing so?
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
One great option for your bay windows is to go with blinds and valances in the windows. Simple valances make great bay window curtains and the blinds will allow you to have some privacy during the evening hours. While you want a nice view out of your bay window, the last thing you want is others having a view into your home. The simple blinds can be closed whenever you want to, and the valances will add a touch of decoration but won't go so overboard that they take away from the natural beauty of the windows you have in place.
Valances and Drapes
When looking for the right bay window curtains for your big bay windows, another option to consider is going with valances and drapes for the window. This is definitely a great option if elegance is the look that you are going for. You'll find that the drapes look great inside and on the outside of the windows too. The valances add to this look as well. The great thing is that it's easy to find excellent drapes in various patterns and colors, so you should have no problem finding some that go along with the rest of the décor in your home.
On the day of breasts and small hips
the window pocked with bad rain,
rain coming on like a minister,
we coupled, so sane and insane.
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
Rod Pocket Options
As you are looking for the perfect bay window curtains, you'll find that rod pocket curtains are a wonderful option as well. They'll definitely compliment the window and they too come in various colors and patterns that look incredible. Of course, if you do decide to go with this option for your bay windows, you'll need to purchase especially designed curtain rods to use along with the curtains.
Although it definitely can be challenging to find window coverings that look great with your bay windows, there are some great options out there. Consider one of these options for your bay window. Whether you choose the rod pocket curtains, the elegant drapes, or the blinds and valances, your bay window will look great. Start looking for one of these bay window curtains in a style and color you enjoy.
