Modern Curtains

Bay window curtains come in various styles, to complement the bay windows in your home. Bay windows make a special fashion statement in your home, and the proper drapes can help make them stand out even more effectively. Bay window dressings can be found in many prints and solid colors, to help make those windows stand out even more than they already do.

The styles of curtains used for bay windows include Priscilla curtains, valance sets, swags, tab top and rod pocket curtains and pinch pleated drapes. You can select drapes that are non insulated or insulated, depending on your climate and privacy issues, or even one piece panels.

Pinch pleated curtains are specially designed at the top, and they don't have a pocket in the top like many drapes have, to insert the rod inside. Pinch pleated drapery panels and drapes can be hung easily with drapery hooks or rings and slips, depending on the type of bay window curtain rods used.

Many roman shades curtains window treatments will offer you various valance treatments that coordinate with your curtain choices, and may usually be purchased separately. These add to a unique look for your wide windows, long windows or sliding glass doors. Pinch pleated bay window curtains are available in a good selection in sizes that runs from short to extra long.

Tab top curtains are a great way to show off bay windows. They are very easy to hang, and they will give you an inexpensive designer look. These curtains use tabs instead of a rod pocket, to slide the curtain rod through, and they hang from loops or tabs on your curtain rods. These look especially elegant when you use them alone or with a valance top that's also hung with tab tops, for wider widths. These curtains are helpful in showing off long or tall windows that you need to cover. Tab top drapes come in many prints and solid colors, and you can get them double-wide, extra long or insulated.

The valance window set and three piece ruffled swag are a great purchase to make your bay windows stand out. The three piece ruffled sets include a pair of ruffle swags and a filler valance that is also ruffled. These are generally sold in a complete window set, and the ruffled sets only need one curtain rod in order to hang them. The ruffled sets also have an added feature: they can be used for wider windows by adding filler valances or sheer curtains that are hung between the swags. These sets of curtains, window treatments and drapes all add to the elegance of your home.

Ruffled Priscilla interior decorating curtains are another special way to show off your bay windows. They've been a favorite with homeowners and designers for years. These curtains have wide ruffles along the bottom and inside edges. You will probably hang them with the sides pulled back with tie backs, to create a unique and elegant look. Ruffled Priscilla drapes come in sheer fabrics, country prints and solid colors. They sometimes have a top ruffle attached, and this can eliminate the need for separate valances. Other bay window curtains of this type have valance top treatments that coordinate with the drapes.
