A clever double pole design means you can hang both a sheer and a curtain around the bay window, but draw them independently.
Brackets normally get in the way of curtain rings being pulled around a bay, but this design uses passing rings that allow the curtains to be drawn all the way round.
A standard heading tape left ungathered on both curtains creates a soft, informal effect. Keep the sheers sill-length for a neat finish and go for floor-length curtains to create real impact in a bay.
Stylist's tips
Team a bold, modern, floral curtain fabric with a floral patterned voile for a modern take on a curtain and sheer.
A double bay pole with passing rings is the neatest option if you want a curtain plus sheer.
