How can I dress this bay window?

last year

I’m struggling to find a good solution to dress my daughter’s bedroom window. I thought of roller or roman blinds but it is difficult not to have a gap at the internal angles. I’d like to avoid floor length curtains because we are planning to fit a window seat/storage in the bay. Any suggestions?

What about individual no drill blinds on each window? they clip inside the frame minimising gaps at the bottom.

Agree with you re: roman binds - they do look wonderful but not so practical for either daily use or a child's bedroom.

Not sure what age your daughter is or if you require total blackout for sleeping purposes which will impact on your decision.

I love the window over looking the garden (and maybe a little jealous) and suggest wood type venetian blind in a light colour and dropping to the sill.

Rachel, I guess it depends on your definition of 'modern'. If you want sleek and stark and contemporary, then this piece isn't for you. But I agree with Saratoga that to me this is very 'modern' for its time. It's beautiful as is (which is how I would probably use it if the veneer is good) but its not a priceless antique so it be changed up if that's your style and would go better with other pieces in your house to give it a new life. Either way it has soul that contemporary pieces lack in my opinion. It's a little piece of history and a statement about the industrial time it was created. Including the beautiful mirror.

You could hang drapes so the window looks centred (i.e. more panels on one side). Any photos?

Thank you Courtney. The challenge is going to be not scratching the powder coated frame. Since posting I have heard that thick solvent based strippers are best, but I'm going to try and remove as much as possible by lifting the loose paint and carefully scraping and scrubbing as you suggested.

At first I thought Roman or roller blinds but they may let too much light in at the joins. Shutters may be another idea but an expensive option.

Blackout Honeycomb blinds might be an option. There's only a tiny gap between the individual blinds so they're quite practical for bay windows - as in the photo. Joy

We can offer made to measure Bay window curtain poles. It looks like you could easily use ceiling brackets but custom brackets are possible and it could offer returns into the room allowing a wonderful curtain that doesn't then have to be floor length. Our passing brackets offer the chance to allow a pair of curtains to draw past easily.
