“To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.” – Henry David Thoreau

Shades, blinds, curtains, or drapes: Where do you begin when even the very treatment goes by so many names?

Updating your window treatments can provide a stunning makeover for an entire room. However, finding the perfect set can be a challenge. If the set is too small, the room can look bare or unfinished. But, if it’s too much, the room becomes crowded and busy.

You’ll want to begin by measuring your space. Then the fun starts, and you’ll decide the style, color, fabric, and even its surrounding decor. With all of these decisions, good thing there’s so many ideas available.

Now, let’s take a look at some of our favorite curtain ideas to help you decide.

1. Bay Window Curtain Ideas

When dressing up your bay windows, decide between framing the entire bay or each individual window. The size of the windows and amount of light desired can help with your decision. If you enjoy plenty of natural light, then you’ll want to opt for hanging the drapes across the entire bay.

The location of the window will help you determine what styling of curtains to choose. Floor-length curtains work best if the bay window is in the living or bedroom; but, a valance style is better for the kitchen or bathroom area. You can enhance the elegant feel with tiebacks and tassels.

2. Bohemian Curtain Ideas

If you love the look of macrame, you’ll want to consider a Bohemian style for your bedroom curtain ideas. In fact, the curtains are one of the main features for achieving the look.
