How to Dress Bay Windows Part 1


Combine Blinds with Curtains:

At first glance Bay Windows are a tricky space to dress. The angles can be challenging to work with, not all poles can be bent, the radiator might be in the way of curtains, etc. The list of obstacles is rather long. However, there are a number of very practical, functional and stylish solutions to choose from.

Roman or indeed Roller Blinds present a contemporary and simple solution for bay windows while curtains can add extra privacy and warmth in the cooler months or simply be the decorative finishing touch, framing the window and adding a smart finish.

To add more impact and drama  you can combine a larger pattern with a more tamed tone-in-tone colour.  The curtains can either be left 'standing' or can be arranged hang arranged on holdbacks for a more dressed look.
