Traditional Bay Window Nook with Green Floral Curtains

A bay window is a built-in frame for a breakfast table, and curtains finish the picture. Use a bendable or angled rod that follows the shape of the bay so every panel hangs in line, and place a panel at each corner rather than one pair at either end. That keeps the glass clear in the middle and the view open. Pinch pleats give traditional structure, and a green and white floral print brings the garden indoors. Line the curtains so the pattern holds its color in strong morning sun. A pedestal table suits a bay because it leaves legroom for every chair.
