A Little Tip: Useful Bay Window Coverings
You choose a house that has a fantastic looking bay window. envision} all of the fantastic ways} you'll be able to dress it. Then you think about blinds or perhaps shades, next you start to try a few shops looking prices up. Next it hits you, the reality of dressing this pretty window. There are a few window covering trends which just might provide help.
Ready made drapes simply just will not cut it!
You can not just go and get ready to use drapes or shades. You will have to have all of them tailor made, and exactly how much is that gonna cost. A good deal I'm able to let you know, that is if you don't do your research.
Decision Time: Shades or Curtains
So that the first decision is will it be curtains or shades. Bay home windows could look fabulous with tailor made roman shades. They will appear great and work very well whenever there is home furniture to each side of the window giving very little room in order to hang draperies. Maybe there's a window seat fitted. If this sounds like the case then roman shades tend to be a very simple method to dress your bay window. If your bay is nice and clear all around then curtains are a great way to go. Particularly long to the floor curtains. Long curtains truly dress a window and provides a hint of high class. In addition they help make the area really feel warmer in the winter.
Measuring For Shades
You need to take a lot of care when measuring shades to fit a bay window. If you have that wrong then your shades will certainly go right in to the bin. Quite often they can't always be changed. Especially if they are very narrow or short.
If you're measuring for roman shades then remember to leave an opening of almost an in. in between the shades. This is to allow for the ties being more hulking as they are pulled up. They will start to push into each other.
A little suggestion I find helpful is always to add an additional half in. towards the drop ( length ) measurement. This is simply because and don't ask me why, the shade once made and hung seems to shrink a little bit. So adding it on now usually means it's rather more likely to fit spot on once made.
Measuring For Curtains In A Bay Window Treatment
This is a tricky one so listen for I will be able to only say it once. Well perhaps twice as I ramble on a bit sometimes :- )
The fashion lately has been to fit decorative bay window rods. Especially here in the U.S. My advice is straightforward do not even the really good ones are real discomfort in the backside. They are much from easy to fit right. Then the curtains struggle to open and close using the special passing rings. So what does one counsel, well satisfied you asked. My fave way of dressing a bay is to fit top boards. These are simply six in. by 1 in. timber boards. You fit them over your window on brackets just like fitting a shelf.
Then hang curtains from the underside of the boards on a curtain track. Then finally cover the top board with a fabric covered pelmet or as you Yankees say Cornice. They can be made in all styles and sizes and look ultra modern or traditional.
So the steps to fitting curtains in a bay window are :
- 1. Cut and fit the top boards in the bay over the windows.
- 2. Then measure the width and take the drop ( length ) measurement from the track to the floor.
- 3. Then measure the leading edges of the top boards for making a pelmet / cornice.
So you now have all the sizes you want for making the curtains and top treatment. The next step would be to select your fabric and get them made.
