Because of the shape, size and function of different types of windows, there are some window treatment styles that are better suited than others. While many undergrads were taking it easy, Melissa Laymon started sewing her way to her own window treatment business. A few years later, Laymon found herself in a predicament. As a stay-at-home mom with a working husband, she needed to find a way to help support their growing family that would also allow her to stay at home. One evening, visiting relatives commented on a Roman shade Melissa had made.

With an outside-mount Roman shade, you can mount it as high above the window as you want and be able to clear the window entirely for access and opening and closing. A lovely way to accent single- and double-hung windows is to mount Roman shades or add curtains mounted between two pieces of trim. If the right amount of depth allows, inside-mount treatments work well for this type.
Sliding windows should have outside-mount shades, curtains or valances. Anything mounted inside will obstruct the function. If an inside-mount shade is desired, there would need to be about four inches of depth. I recommended that sliding window treatments be hung at least 4 to 6 inches above the frame. The recommended width depends on the style of treatments. An extra four inches of width would suffice for Roman shades. These mounting recommendations will ensure maximum light coverage and privacy coverage when your treatments are drawn.
If the treatments are just for decorative purposes and not for privacy or light blocking, a valance mounted above the frame would be a great option. Bow windows look best with curtain panels or valances on a curved rod.
