Drapery

Aside from regular curtains that drop from top to bottom, horizontal drapes are used not only as a signifier of beauty, but a cover up of hanging installations of other window accessories. The width of bow and bay windows make curtain drapery a very interesting twist to the said window designs.
Adjacent sofa
