I agree - I’d maybe do matching hardware and then pick the same curtain material/style but in different colors that coordinate with that room.

Do you think I can do 84 in long curtains on the big bay window and then just do valances in the 2 DR area windows?

It’s not that big of a room and I just don’t want it consumed with long curtains on every window

I get that - some rooms are made for big curtains and others aren’t. I’ve never had bay windows, so I’m not really sure how to dress them. But what would you think of Roman shades??

Roman shades can be expensive, but it seems they could bring more “design” while not being too heavy.

It seems like you only have 3 windows. I'd make them all long. Hang them wider and taller than the window trim. About the height of the green stripe above one of the windows. That makes the ceiling height appear taller and by placing the rod brackets about 3 - 4 inches wider than the window trim gives you the most light and makes your windows seem larger. Check out the Ritva curtains from IKEA - super price and nice curtains.

Ok, thanks for the insight.. Right now I’m thinking about doing all long on every window. I have a solid blue/gray curtain for the bay window and then was going to look for a complimenting design curtain for the other two windows. Am I onto something or does that sound too busy? I just can’t see putting the same blue/gray curtains on every window in this one small room 😬

What is the color of this room? It looks green in the photos

I'd use the same long white curtains that Jesse Fay suggested on all three windows. Treat them as one as they are in the same space. All should be hung "high and wide" and hang to just a half-inch from the floor. Home Goods has lots of reasonably priced 84" and 92" sheer white curtains at reasonable prices. Then invest in good sized rods they have those at Home Goods (also Target and Walmart) as well. Dinky rods will cheapen the look. Can't wait to see it when it's done! Good Luck!

Hope this helps!

Great information! Thank you so much. The room is currently getting painted Anew Gray by SW and the trim is white. My couch is a grey Diane sectional by Raymour. I’m trying to bring in some color which is why I chose the blue/gray curtain.

Wow...you really have 3 very different windows. The reason people are suggesting doing all 3 in the same long white panels is to tie them together and also make them become part of the background. For those reasons, avoid colored panels or different lengths. It will chop up your room. I know you want some color, but bring that in through art, throw pillows, throws, and maybe a fun accent chair. Pillows are much easier to change out than curtains if you get tired of the colors. With a gray and white backdrop, you have a blank canvas.

Agree with above. All white curtains and all long. Get pops of color from pillows, art, and throws.

I’m going to be an outlier here as I really hate long drapes on short windows. I think the drapes are fine for the big window but it will look so much better if all the small shorter ones have a Roman or cellular shade installed up to the ceiling.
