How can I dress this bay window?

last year

I’m struggling to find a good solution to dress my daughter’s bedroom window. I thought of roller or roman blinds but it is difficult not to have a gap at the internal angles. I’d like to avoid floor length curtains because we are planning to fit a window seat/storage in the bay. Any suggestions?

What about individual no drill blinds on each window? they clip inside the frame minimising gaps at the bottom.

Agree with you re: roman binds - they do look wonderful but not so practical for either daily use or a child's bedroom.

Not sure what age your daughter is or if you require total blackout for sleeping purposes which will impact on your decision.

I love the window over looking the garden (and maybe a little jealous) and suggest wood type venetian blind in a light colour and dropping to the sill.

Okay, this is a kitchen but it has the same window/door layout. I agree with your idea of doing Roman blinds for the window and curtains for the door And some other photos

Can anyone advise how to dress this window in a bedroom please. There is also another normal window in the same room which I would prefer to have curtains on. This window is a tilt and turn operating window which I'm told means I can't/shouldn't put a curtain pole on as this will stop the window from being opened. Advice with pictures appreciated. I'm at a loss.

Morning You say that privacy isn't an issue so I would dress the main window and the small window on the left hand wall with roman blinds. I would mount the blinds outside of the recess t make more of a feature and not steal any of the light. Regarding the two narrow windows I would leave them undressed and get two matching vases, ornaments etc and place them on the window sill to make a feature. I think that blinds would be too fussy and would detract from the rest of the room. If you wanted privacy you could always add some frosting to the two narrow windows The furniture you've chosen is beautiful I'm sure it will look fab! Really hope this helps, good luck with the rest of your project!

Thank you for your suggestion....one option that I had considered was something like the below - having double curtains (one voile,and one heavy curtain). Do you think that this could work in my space? Also, just to note, the curtain pole (and everything else in the room will be going, as this is the previous owners furniture), so I am not restricted to the curtain pole that is currently in the original picture. Thanks!

At first I thought Roman or roller blinds but they may let too much light in at the joins. Shutters may be another idea but an expensive option.

Blackout Honeycomb blinds might be an option. There's only a tiny gap between the individual blinds so they're quite practical for bay windows - as in the photo. Joy

We can offer made to measure Bay window curtain poles. It looks like you could easily use ceiling brackets but custom brackets are possible and it could offer returns into the room allowing a wonderful curtain that doesn't then have to be floor length. Our passing brackets offer the chance to allow a pair of curtains to draw past easily.
