When you are deciding on the style of the window treatment, consider the type of window you have. Some window treatments may not be suitable for the for the type of window you have. Some windows slide up and down, some slide sideways and still others swing in and out. You need to select window treatments that will not interfere with opening and closing the windows or the hardware that operates the windows.
Roman shades are ideal for these casement windows especially in this bay window. During the day they are up and out of the way, letting in the sunshine and views, while at night they can be closed, or lowered, for the privacy needed. Made from a neutral linen, the black banding gives that dramatic contrast and architectural interest. A matching roman shade is hung over the kitchen sink.
