Hi,
Have just visited a client with a really ugly square recessed square bay.
The ceiling height into the bay is only about 190cm, and they currently have a ceiling mounted white track going round the bay with sill length curtains. They want to make more of a feature of the window, but a top treatment inside the bay will cut even more light out of the room. They used to have a pole on the outside of the bay but this cut the bay off at night and wasted all the space. The sills are really quite deep and if we wanted to have full length curtains in the bay the track would have to be mounted even further away from the window than it already is to avoid the sills. This will give a really deep side-on return of curtain, which if full-length could be secured with a tie-back, but if short will look really bad. Romans are not an option as they have a busy pavement just feet away from the window, so need to keep a sheer curtain there at all times (the flowery net will have to go!).
I had thought that a pelmet or valance on the outside of the bay might be an option but was worried it might look detached from the rest of the window treatment as the bay is quite deep (1M).
Have scoured all my books and cannot find the look I want. Help.
Sue.
