There is nothing like a room that features a bay window.  These windows have the ability to make a room feel grander than it actually is so the last thing you want to do is cover it up.  That is why selecting the right curtains for bay windows is so important.  Bay window curtains should be installed to assist with light control and privacy rather than covering up the windows.

Popular curtains for bay windows include a scarf that simply drapes over a decorative curtain rod.  This actually accents the window with style and elegance rather than provide any privacy effects.  Another popular choice is café curtain panels.  These curtains are attached to the inside of the window frame again allowing the bay to remain open.

Rather than curtains for bay windows, people select blinds or shades.  Again these are very functional and you can add a decorative valence to accent the window.  Blinds or shades that open from both the top and bottom are a great choice for allowing in maximum light but applying maximum privacy.
