Bay windows make a charming addition to any home. These three window-design forms, with their three-dimensional configuration, can also be a challenge to design. If you have bay windows at your house, you may be in need of bay window treatment ideas to make your bay windows appear more attractive.Because of their unique configuration, it can be difficult to find curtain rods and headings for drapes to cover and adorn bay windows. You may need to buy three different sets of poles and rods to cover all three windows.If you cannot afford heavy drapes, use simple blinds or sheer curtains to mute incoming light. If you like heavy curtains, however, invest in simple designs, since the intrinsic complexity of bay windows can make further embellishment appear overbearing.

If you want, you can have stained glass in part of your bay window to add color to incoming light. If stained glass is too expensive for your budget, you can also hang a set of reflective chimes, or stained glass chimes in the middle window.

The idea is to make your bay window appear attractive on the outside, while people on the inside find delight in the play of colored lights that your stained glass can bring in.

You can also opt to add flowering plants to the outside of your bay window, if it is on the ground floor of your house, or if you can attach a ledge on which to place plants. With plants and colored chimes, you might not even have to add heavy and expensive drapes.

Be adventurous and creative, but don??™t go overboard: a bay window on its own is quite attractive, so you may simply be gilding a lily if you add velvet and roses and stained glass into one elaborate, but overdone heap.
