Before starting with window treatments we need to think of the reasons we have for putting the bay window in. Where is this window located in the house? Is there going to be a seat hooked to it? What kind of cushions to use? What is it going to be used for a reading spot or in a kid's bedroom? Or is it going to be in the living room to look out on cold days? These are the questions that are going to determine the ways of design.

To remodel your home in an antique way to match the bay window you need to consider a change in drapery. Instead of the heavy fabrics of that era you can choose newer, lighter, more airy fabrics. The angles and look of the window will be softened by the lighter fabrics. If you want the bay window to match the room and blend in you will need to get fabric that matches the room. If you want it to stick out and be seen real quick you can add jewels to the drapes and make it look more dramatic without being too dramatic.
