Bay window curtain rods compliment home furnishings by providing a modern, cleaner and contemporary look for any home. The rods provide an almost minimalist yet bold statement about the person who decorated the interior of the room. These rods provide attractive alternatives to the old fashioned curtain tracks. The curtains are suspended by curtain rings and hooks that attach the back of the curtains.

The curtain rods are exposed just above the hanging curtains, giving you the opportunity to show off decorative as well functional designs. The rod designs are wide ranging and can be developed from a variety of materials such as wood, chrome, steel, silver or plastic. Historically bay windows have lacked enough space to allow the fitting of decorative bay windows curtain rods. New Radical Forgings have developed a unique curtain rod system that alleviates this problem.

Some manufacturers offer purpose built bay window curtain rods that have a flexible track which bends to follow the contours of the bay window. Bending these can be a challenge and requires special tools. However, these continuous rods create the best aesthetics for bay window curtains by allowing the draperies to pull to each side of the bay.

There is an alternative to the more expensive continuous rods and that is to mount individual straight rods over each segment of the bay window. Straight rods are easier to find at retailers or over the internet and consequently easier for a someone to install on their own.

Whichever of the bay window curtains rods you decide to choose, you'll be happy with the choice. They are not expensive and will compliment any room.
