We all know that there are many, many options for window treatments for bay windows. You're only limited by your imagination!

These are the most popular options around, but my most recent client wanted something just a little bit different.
Here is the bay window in her breakfast area.
My client has a lovely modern vibe going on in her home. She prefers clean, tailored lines with an uncluttered look while still having an inviting feel.
We ruled out cornices, valances and roman shades. She liked the idea of drapery panels, but didn't want the expense or the look of window treatment hardware running across the entire top of her windows.
We decided to go with narrow drapery panels mounted on medallions. Instead of traditional drapery medallions, my client chose to use oversized, hammered nickle cabinet knobs.
Here are the installers at work.
(By the way, if you need a terrific installer, let me know. Rodney is beyond awesome!)
And here is the finished look.
What do you think?

These are basically narrow, tabtop draperies. I'll put together a tutorial on how I make tabtops in a few days. I'm not sure if time will permit this week or not.
I'll be sharing at these parties:

Those draperies definitely softens up the windows… Great idea to use cabinet knobs instead of medallions, very creative!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabric and it does soften the window and bring in some color and pattern. Thanks tons for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI don't have any bay windows in my house, but I LOVE the valances in the second picture. I love the style, color, everything about them. Great job!
ReplyDeleteSuzy...love it...We need to talk...Is that Vanessa from P.B. in the first picture?
ReplyDeleteHi Shirley. Let's talk tomorrow! ;) See Nancy's comment below which is a reply to your question.
DeleteI used to have bay windows in my old house but I didn't know how to do that for window treatments back then. Very pretty pictures and fabrics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful window treatment!!! I'm looking forward to your tutorial since I need some tab tops & would prefer to have something different!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ... they were just what that space needed, and I'm sure your client is thrilled!
ReplyDeleteReplying to Shirley's question. Yes this is PB's Vanessa. I bought the duvet set but used the shams and a silk Dupioni panel in blue smoke for Suzy to make the cornices. Blue Smoke Silk panels were also used on both windows flanking the bed. We hung them high which added a lot of height to the sitting area Suzy did a fabulous job on the cornices to tie the sitting area and bedroom together...very professionally done!!! She's a sweetheart!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey definitely soften the space and make a huge difference! You do great work! I loved looking at all the window treatments you showed.
ReplyDeleteThanks for praying for Olivia!
Hugs!
I have a bay window so I will definitely keep your great options in mind!
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll stop by my blog. I am hosting a giveaway for a $50 Kirklands gift card.
We have two bay windows in our home and have always had a hard time trying to figure out the proper window coverings for them. I like the cornices in the first picture. Thanks for sharing these helpful tips at my party! Have a great Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! We also have a bay window in our formal living room and it was very hard to choose the right drapes. Until today, I am not sure! LOL
ReplyDeleteYours looks so pretty!
I love your solution, it looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteCindy
Beautiful window treatments! What a difference fabric makes!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the transformation. Drapery softens so elegantly.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous window treatments!!!!

Yes, one is only limited by one's imagination. I love the window seat idea, too. Your client did well. The narrow drapes soften the space without taking away from the view and natural light. Beautifully executed.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, and CLEVER!! They turned our wonderful! Thank you for linking up to Uncommon! Bonnie ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your solution very pretty and VERY clever!
ReplyDeleteSmart option and another great look for your portfolio That image of the black and white stripe roman shade also stole my heart though. i will be "pinning" :D

Such good ideas for window treatments for bay windows. I've always found them a challenge, so I appreciate the inspiration. I'm a new follower, Mary Alice
ReplyDeleteValuable post, The most important advantage of using the window treatment is protection. The shutters, blinds or curtains, whatever you choose will protect you from the heat of the sun.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful window treatment...How the fabric make it so beautiful..like it.

That is really nice and different to use cabinet knobs. I hope you will link this up starting Wednesday at The CSI Project. The challenge of the week is kitchen makeovers and decor.
ReplyDeleteCome on over each day for a tutorial then the competition begins Wednesday.Each week is a new challenge.
Come on over!

It has definitely created a good image to the room where the drapery curtains are used to the windows.
ReplyDeleteRolling Shutters
Wow! The window treatment transformed the simple room into a classy and elegant one. It is very beautiful. I love how the draperies dimmed the room a little bit. Its color also matches the wall painting and the furniture in the room. Terrific job. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLeif Clancy
Since the window is already fixed for privacy issues, the window treatment is added just for style. And what a stylish-looking area does the breakfast room look now! The windows no longer look bare, and the draperies don’t clash with the modern vibe that your client wants. It’s just perfect!

Sandra Ludwig
