I received a question about corner window treatments (hardware specifically) in the comments on this post, so I decided to do a general post on corner window treatments.
I haven't had to deal with corner windows before and am definitely not an expert on them, so I just dug up as much info as I could find for you. It wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, but here's what I found...

E-How has an informative articles on Window Treatments for Corner Windows and How Do You Hang Corner Curtain Rods?
Tammy from In Stitches had the following to say about corner window treatments
"When I am treating a corner window there are a couple of different methods that I use. Obviously, if you are using a valance or a rod pocket panel then you can just butt or bend the rod because it won't show. If I'm using panels and the rod will show then I have my installer miter the rods in the corner if they are wood. Another option is to use a corner swivel bracket made by Kirsch."
She uses the following hardware from Kirsch and Helser Brothers and you can contact her here, for more information or if you are interested in ordering.
