At Bespoke Blinds & Poles, we’ve helped countless customers find the perfect curtain pole solution for their bay windows. And trust us, getting it right makes all the difference.

Why Are Bay Windows So Hard to Dress?

Bay windows are often oversized, with tricky angles and a large expanse of cold glazing. There are at least 14 different bay window shapes we commonly see, each with unique challenges when it comes to fitting a curtain pole.

That’s why off-the-shelf solutions rarely work. Standard poles often leave awkward gaps, create unsightly joins, or cause curtains to snag when drawn.

The Right Curtain Pole Changes Everything

A well-measured, well-fitted bay curtain pole can:

• Eliminate annoying gaps, keeping warmth in and light control optimal

• Ensure smooth curtain movement—no frustrating snags or catches

• Enhance the beauty of your bay window, adding a polished, elegant finish

At Bespoke Blinds & Poles, our systems are designed for seamless functionality and style.

We offer:

• Single-piece or two-piece pole systems (no awkward joins!)

• Motorised options for the ultimate in convenience and luxury

Bay windows are meant to be admired, and so are curtain poles. A high-quality pole not only supports your curtains but enhances your entire décor
