How to Be Your Own Decorator Curtains for Windows
Helen Koues explains curtain solutions for rooms with windows of varying sizes. For a single large window and a smaller casement, use different length curtains hung from the same top line, with glass curtains attached to casement frames so openings remain smooth. For a triple window group above a sideboard or window seat, use three short pairs or opt for full length curtains with a valance, drawing the drapes at night to conceal the space while keeping the window seat accessible.
