Curved Window Treatment or No?

8 years ago

Hey Guys,

Finally got some curtains up but does my rod placement look odd because of the curved window??? I wanted to keep the same height of the rod as the dining room window. The dining room window doesn't have the curved window above and is a little bit wider. Please help?

    It would bother me. Someone here with more creative ideas than me will help I bet.

    Yeah I'm wondering maybe two separate rods :/

    Is the window to the left, is that the dining room window? It would also bug me that they aren't trimmed the same way.

    What about blinds or shades instead of curtains? Something that disguises the difference in trim.

    Seeing the rod split the arched window would bother me. There are two fixes that I can think of. 1) Lower both rods to the height on the wall just below the arch. That would require you to have the four panels hemmed. If you go this route, measure so they are 1/2 inch from the floor - right now they are a hair shorter than they should be. 2) replace the rod on the right with two rods that cover only the side windows.

    I'm trying to stay out of the gray hole, the curtains appear gray but they are tan with a gold shimmer, I'd like to add gold accents and a new tv console. I'll have my husband lower the tv I thought it was too high as well. Maybe adding yellow or a blue will help

    I would just have two rods on the arched window side, covering only the outer portions, as others have suggested. The draperies themselves look wonderful, it's just the rod that's wrong.

    Depending on the width and weight of the curtains, you might be able to use a rod like this so the inner bracket isn't showing:

    I would suggest two rods on the right hand widow just big enough for each side window, it looks like you are tight to the far right wall so you don't have room to pull the current curtains back off the window to appreciate the view. because of that I would use a set of sheers only on the right window and the same sheers with the current curtains on the left side, I would also bring all the rods down about two inches from the current height, making sure to line them all up the same. if you have the will, i would then make the tv wall more of an accent with barn wood or a cool wall paper between the two windows.

    The dining room window appears to have a substantial shelf in front of it. For me this would mean a different sort of treatment than what you have. The living room rod has to hand below the curved window, but again given it butts up against the wall so tight I would not choose drapes.

    was that originally two separate rooms and the wall between them came down? Those two windows are so different from each other...

    It has been mentioned in this post about the gray hole. Could someone elaborate. I have a feeling I am heading in that direction with my recent remod.

    That looks great!

    5-5-75 is a good rule of thumb you should apply. Things hanging on the wall should be 5" above furniture, centered 5' above the floor if without furniture, and never wider than 75% of the furniture's width. IMO, if you need the curtains to close, they need to be lined, not see-through. Your arch window in the corner doesn't allow for curtains to properly hang, and the little bay window with the ledge isn't suited for curtains either. I'd prefer roman shades. See if hubby will get a wider credenza (not a TV stand) for the TV. Hoping it is now at eye level when you're seated to watch it.
