Hi!,
I have just spoken to a new client who has a design problem! She has a 1930's house with a bow window and would like roman blinds and dress curtains. Sounds simple enough, however; she has 6 windows in her bay and would like, if possible, to have 1 blind per 2 windows so ending up with 3 blinds in total. The other problem is that her window sill is very deep, approx 12" deep so the pole for the curtains would need to be ceiling mounted and a long way from the window frame which she is not happy about.
My questions are:
a) is it possible to do the 1 blind over 2 windows that would be slightly curved, and if it is, how would I do that?
b) if I did individual blinds, is it possible to link them in pairs so that they move up and down together, if it is, then how would I do that?
With regard to the curtains, my first thought was that if they are dress curtains only then why would you want to close them and therefore does the pole really need to come so far out? However, I have not yet been to the property so I do not know all the in's and out's but I would like to know if anyone else has come across this window sill problem and what their solution was.
I am going to see the customer tomorrow afternoon and I will take some photos of the window then but If anyone has any ideas in the mean-time then I would be very grateful.
Helen.
