Question
Hi Jenny, We have pushed out bay windows in our living room and dining room, both on the front of the house.  We currently have sheers, and are wondering about your suggestions for draperies.  The rooms are more formal.  Also, where do we obtain angled curtain rods?  If possible, we would rather not have to pay for custom curtains.  Thank you for your help!
Julie

Answer
Julie,

Kirsch Rods (which you can find on the Internet) used to make a curved rod.  You may want to check that out.  Am wondering how your sheers are hung?

If the bay window is comprised of individual windows, you could "treat" the windows separately.  If you are looking to "dress up" the overall look of the bay window, consider using stationary drapery panels (floor to ceiling OR at least 94" long) on either side of the bay (attaching the rods to the wall).

Regards,
Jenny

Visit my web site at: http://www.jennifertaylorwojcik.com Decor: I've written about it, planned it, designed it and colored it, and I've never stopped loving it. It's not what you spend, or who made it, it's how it makes you feel.

Experience

College, advertising, public relations, marketing, free-lance writing and a plethora of creative endeavors have led me here. As an entrepreneur in decorative product design, I learned the hard way how tough it can be to be in business for yourself. A stint at a law firm taught me humility too. Some three thousand questions ago, I wondered if I could really help.
