Bay windows make a pleasant addition to any home. Because of their distinctive configuration, it can be difficult to find curtain rods and headings for drapes to cover and adorn bay windows. You may want to buy different sets of poles and rods to cover all windows.

However, if you prefer heavyweight draperies, think in terms of spare patterns, because the natural elaborateness of bay or bow windows make further decoration superfluous.
