Bay Windows
Use custom bay window rods that follow the angle of the windows.
Opt for individual curtain panels for each window section.

Ceiling Track Curtain Rods
Ideal for modern spaces or when creating room dividers.
They also work great in nurseries where complete blackout is desired.
They’re also great for covering large or oddly shaped windows.

Arch Windows
Use straight rods placed above the top of the arch.
Hang straight curtains just above the highest point of the arch to emphasize height.
High or Two-Story Windows
Hang curtains at the highest possible point to elongate the space.
Use double-height panels for a dramatic effect.
Include roman shades on all windows and curtains just on the lower windows.

Short and High Windows
Hang curtains well above the frame to create the illusion of height.
Ensure the curtain length reaches the floor for consistency.
If heigh balance is not needed, roman shades can be used alone for light control.

If you’re feeling stuck or unsure how to tackle a tricky window, we’re here to help! Reach out for tailored advice, and we’ll guide you in getting it just right.
