Curtains for Corner Windows
Short Rod Corner Window
These windows are amazing in Beth by Unskinny Boppy home. Wanting to dress up these windows with curtains doesn't look like it was an easy task to accomplish though.
Beth's curtain rods are shortened and the curtains themselves continue from one rod to the next where they meet in the corner. This is a great trick to hide where you've met the rods in the corner.

Separate Rods Close Together
One simple and flexible way to hang curtains on a corner window is by using two separate rods—one for each window—mounted as close together as possible at the corner like shown by Royal Design Studio Stencils.
This setup allows each curtain panel to function independently, making it easy to open or close one window without affecting the other.
It’s a great solution if you prefer traditional curtain rods or want to avoid the complexity of custom corner hardware. Plus, this method works with almost any curtain style, from casual sheers to full-length drapes.
For a polished look, choose rods with matching finishes and keep the brackets aligned at the same height so the curtains flow seamlessly around the corner.
