Drape your windows in the best way possible!
![]() |
It time you let your windows steal the show with drapes most beautiful and blinds that might have never reached the eyes. Whether you have a bay or straight window, discover the best way to dress it up with the following tips:
Wave heading
One of the most subtle ways of decorating your windows is to use soft waves of fabric which help create a smart but simple finish that’s easy on the eye. The idea is to employ a wide tempo heading pleat that makes curtains fall in soft, regular waves. This will render just the right affect to the curtains. If you team it with a sleek, modern suspension rail, letting the curtains sit flush with the floor they’ll look neatly open or closed. In order to make it look more stylized, you can also cut velvet patterns with luxurious edges.
Double pole
If you want to dress your window for privacy and beauty, a double pole lets you do both with great ease. A clever double pole design means you can hang both a sheer and a curtain around the bay window and draw them independently. The brackets may get in the way of curtain, but this design uses passing rings that allow the curtains to be drawn all the way round. The standard heading tape, if used on both curtains will help create a soft, informal effect in the room. It will be best if you keep the sheers sill-length for a neat finish and go for floor-length curtains to create real impact in the bay. A bold, floral fabric matched with voile looks absolutely stunning. With such an arrangement you should use a pelmet that is smart to look at and looks neat at the large bay window.
Four Single Drapes
This may be new to you but looks most elegant and suave. Four single curtains for your bay window make up for the most elegant finish. You can hang a pair centrally with one each on each side of the bay. If possible, use a flat-faced pole with a wooden-effect and metal finish. When used with a suspension-rail system, the fabric gathers neatly below the pole. Allow plenty of length on the curtains so they pool on the floor to complete the lavish look. If you repeat the colors in the fabric’s trim pulls, it’ll help to bring in the whole curtain together.
Where these are some of the many tips we have for you, you can always start experimenting with these to see if it really works well for you. The color palates indeed play an important role to ensure that it brings out the best in your home.
