If this was mine I’d probably go for one of the quality curtain track that holds plain full length curtains in uniform folds. I’d have it in one piece and keep the curtains stacked against the walls completely clear of the glass and I’d match the wall paint to the curtains as closely as possible. To create the soft wave fold effect would require much more fabric than necessary for the windows themselves but think it would give the modern clean “softness” that I think personally would be fab.

Perhaps wooden shutters installed outside would work. They'd look amazing and fit in with the look of a barn conversion too. Then, you could still consider the louvre drapes for the inside, but keep them open, only closing when you want privacy. So in this way, they are really being used for 'dressing' purposes only. The reason I'd put wooden shutters in, is that you wanted to dress your window, and since this is a barn conversion, the window rests on the floor and is not conventional, it calls for unconventional dressing. So, shutters will add interest and depending on how high they are from the bottom, outside, they could be used to close up for privacy, but if too high up, then used only for effect, and the louvre material drapes inside to match your décor. You could use short curtains, but as I said before, you'd have to tie them back so that your window can open, which would work find as well. perhaps draw it out, using the various options that you've been given by everyone, and see what appeals to you? You could make this window a feature, which is what I'd do, instead of 'just a mere small window' and really make it a 'wow' feature in your room! don't be afraid to be brave with your décor on this one. have fun with it!

Hi there, First of all, that's a really lovely window so I'm sure you'll want to show it off! We'd recommend a number of different solutions. As Hampstead Design Hub suggested, shutters are a popular choice for a bay window, as they really do make a feature of the windows. They're also great for privacy, as these types of windows are often at the front of a property. Alternatively, Roller blinds or even Vertical blinds are a popular choice too. And although you say there isn't room for curtains on the left hand side, there may be room for dress curtains. This could create a really luxurious effect. If you'd like to read more about the different options available, we have a handy bay window guide over on our blog - http://www.hillarys.co.uk/inspiration/2014/03/how-to-dress-your-breath-taking-bay-window/

I agree: these windows look good as they are! If there are no privacy issues, the only other factor that may be worth considering is how the windows look from outside. So, for example, it there a similar rectangular window in the room to the left, which you may wish to dress similarly to maintain the symmetry from the outside?

We agree that a modern look would work best. A wave pleated curtain creates a luxurious boutique style due to the uniform pleats. It is created using a wave track system and is best used for larger areas or to decorate a wall, so going across both windows like your husband suggested could work well with this style.

An alternative could be contemporary roller blinds which create a dynamic and sleek finish to any window., which can be hand or electronic operated. They can be either sheer or blackout depending on your requirements.

We hope this helps! :)
