Difficult bay window in MB, I'd like to use drape panels

Erika Jurado-Graham

10 years ago

This window is just challenging. I'd like to use draperies (panels) hanging all the way down to the floor on each side. However, the wall comes out in a way in which the drape would look too far from the actual window. Any ideas? Any pictures of a similar window?

Cool view! I like soosun2 #'s 4,5,6. Roman blinds, custom bench cushion and Wainscotting to give some contrast below the new cushion. Tough window though, I agree.

One big Roman shade, outside mount across the flat front of the bay, would also be very nice.

I really like 4 and 5, but what about the bench? The curtains would not be able to hang all the way down. Thank you all for your great ideas!
