Hmmm not sure if I posted this correctly as no one has commented 🤷🏻‍♀️.
Does anyone have any suggestions for these windows??

Hi Christine,

I love your windows too! You have great light in your room.

To answer your question - no, all windows don't need curtains. Plenty of homes with great views don't cover up the windows at all. From your photo, it doesn't look like you need curtains for privacy, and your shades can probably take care of that anyway.

It sounds like you're interested in drapery panels just for the texture, pattern and visual warmth. You can absolutely do that!

You can hang draperies without a curtain rod that span all three windows. If you don't need the panels to operate, plenty of people have rods that are just wide enough for the panel itself. You would buy four rods a little wider than the distance between your windows. Stationary drapery panels about twice the width of the rod would give you enough material to gather appropriately. (This can vary depending on the fabric you use.)

If you want the curtains to operate or at least close over the windows, you could look at three separate rods. You'd need a simple finial that wouldn't draw attention to the rod separation. Then you would have six panels, two per rod. With your window spacing, the rods might need to abut each other.

Buying pre-made drapery panels will save you money, but if you find a local drapery workroom, you can customize the length and width of the panels. The workroom can assist you with the measurements you need to take as well.

Also, make sure to look at how much space is behind the door adjacent to the windows when it's open. That might affect your plan!

These are just some ideas. I hope they help!
