One solution: treat each window as if they're separate, with two window panels on a rod above each window. I love this look; it's ethereal and softens the look while providing utilitarian needs like privacy and a thin thermal barrier.

Another solution is to use plantation style shutters on the windows. I like this look for its crispness. It could look great in a room where there are lots of other "feminine" components like soft textures, florals, pinks or lavenders, or curvy or ornate furniture. Its no fuss look could balance them well.

This drapery solution, much like in the first photo, softens the look. The color and the volume of the drapes makes this feel more formal than the sheers.

I included this photo in the Pink post, but it offers a unique idea for framing the bay windows. Here, they've affixed a curtain rod across the wall, as if to give the nook surrounded by the bay window privacy if needed. It's a nice solution because it's a bit more simplistic in that it treats the bank of windows as if they are one; just two panels and one curtain rod.

This image showcases colonial shutters, like the type you'd typically find on exterior windows. I think this is really well done and quite crisp and beautiful. Still, no softening like with drapery panels.

Lastly, here is a solution that uses roman shades. This also offers a crisp look, but also provides an opportunity to introduce a fun pattern or complementary fabric to your space.

Without seeing the space and knowing the clients' preferences, I won't make a decision. It's nice to know there are several options out there. I feel confident we'll be able to select the right solution for their space. Updates to follow!
