For Bay Windows Bay windows are some of the most elegant windows and draping them can be quite tricky due to their style of architecture. They are characterized by the set of windows that protrude outside the main wall. There are a number of ways in which you can decorate them. You can insert a rod in front of the window and cover it with a complete curtain or divide the curtain in the middle. Adding a valance will make it more elegant. If you install divided curtains, you can tie them back. If the windows are large, you can insert single drapes for each window. See that the colors that you choose complement the other colors in the living room. For Arched Windows Arched windows are luxurious window patterns. Many people, with the intent of enhancing their beauty, select drapery that has intricate designs and details. You should never do that! Instead of enhancing, it will degrade the décor of the living room. Use simple drapery with minimalist designs. Choose a designer curtain rod that has an emblem with detailed features at the center. If you do not want to show the arched portion of the window, then you can hang the drapery above the arch. Use a long valance to improve the look of the drapery. For Sliding Glass Doors Sliding doors have one fixed frame or panel and other moving panels move on the track for being opened and closed. You can add full drapes, to lend a stylish and pleasant look to the living room. These can be rolled away when not in use, to allow the light to enter the living room. And when you need privacy, you can close these drapes. They can even be hung on the rods or you can go for modern track assemblies that open and close with the help of a pulley system. You can also go for Roman shades that cover each panel of the sliding door. The width of the Roman shades should be equal to the width of the panel. You can obtain better functionality with the use of Roman shades. French doors are quite similar to sliding glass doors, except that, these doors open outside and do not slide. Thus, drapery ideas for French doors are also same as that for sliding doors. While choosing the fabric for the drapery, see that it serves all your requirements. Choose a pattern that will fulfill your needs and also enhance the beauty of the living room decor.
