KMS Woodworks on May 23, 2012I've seen some where a shear fabric is draped up to a high center point to result in a triangle type display. With some relaxed curves in the fabric it looks pretty good.Helpful Reply

Culpepper Carpets and Interiors, Inc. on May 24, 2012There is no easy way to dress a Palladian Window. They make flexible hardware for draperies but you have to order them. The least expensive thing to do is fabric sheered on a flex rod. You can create one yourself using PVC pipe. Another idea is to hang a curtain straight across & leave the arc open but this will not give full privacy. I hope this helps.Helpful Reply

Lynn T on May 24, 2012Depending on the height of the window, you can leave it open or if you are looking for privacy spray a clear coat of poly and the. Apply a stencil of vine Or your preference. Very inexpensiveHelpful Reply

Culpepper Carpets and Interiors, Inc. on May 25, 2012Kelly O, that is a great idea, the paper shades are sold at Lowes, they are used as temporary shades and can be cut and installed with tape.Helpful Reply
