Sorry, me again! Another option could be a French style curtain pole, which is fixed either side of the window, and the curtains drape very nicely each side, excluding light very well. Not sure whether you can see it clearly on this photo, but I think you could fit one just below the beam, yet still high enough to do the job.

I do not see velvets and silks for a kitchen sink window sorry. There are plenty of gorgeous fabrics around with beautiful damask or geometric pattern that are striking, that could be found in a faux silk or linen. Velvet is something that I would never put in a kitchen. But it is your kitchen.

You could use roman shades and panels on the sides or room darkening curtains, the first set of draperies are available at Bed, Bath and Beyond :-)

How to fit curtains when windows are over radiators?
Q
Comments (0)
Hi all! Hope you can help me. I’m renting a house and doing small decor upgrades do give it a bit of my taste, so I’m changing the curtains. The problem is all the radiators are located under the windows. I like the full length floor to ceiling style but I’m afraid it will affect the radiators efficiency. I was told to fit the curtains just below the end of the windows, but it doesn’t seem right to me. Could someone help , please? Thanks! 😊

Fix a curtain rail to the ceiling.

So the ceiling is completely uneven and you can see there is a beam/box in the way

A blind would be your best option. You could also have some lightweight curtains on a cafe rod fitted to the top of the window.

I think you could resolve the unevenness by fixing a batten to the ceiling, then a curtain rail to that. If you have the curtain rail butting up to the beam it could extend a little beyond the window to the left. Maybe you could draw curtains back to the left where there's more space. We have a ceiling rail for a window which is set into a bay and has wall each end. Works very well and curtains barely cover any window when drawn across.

Just looking at your photo again, I wonder whether the batten idea could be extended to include the beam, so you’d have a lower section but going wider than the window frame, so you could have a ceiling mounted rail with curtains hanging either side. I should think a handy person should be able to do something for you.

One option would be to have a side draped curtain

I agree with Jonathan above. Personally, if I were designing the room (depending on the overall style) I would do a blind on the inner recess (roller takes up the least space) - this will allow the light to be controlled or blacked out if needed ....and then a single side curtain or voile to give the look you like.

A lovely Roman Blind is your best option I feel. I know you don’t want a blind but it seems the best idea. It can be placed in the recess or outside it. You can get some beautiful fabrics to suit your lovely window. Roman Blinds are very elegant. This one is from Dunelm.

Agree a Roman blind would work best.
