Exciting Ways to Dress Bay Windows

Bay windows are an exquisite accent to any home. They allow abundant natural light to enter a space and provide an exceptional view of the outdoors. While bay windows are a star in their own right, they shine even brighter with the right window treatments. The team at Amazing Blinds & Shutters has some fantastic bay window ideas to share with you.

The Breakfast Nook

If you have a bay window in your kitchen, it’s a fantastic place for a cozy breakfast nook. Sheer shades provide privacy and reduce early morning glare while allowing you to enjoy the sunshine. Silhouette® Sheer Shades have adjustable fabric vanes for precise control of natural light and privacy.

They also provide exceptional protection from damaging UV rays, even when the vanes are tilted open. Speciality ClearView® sheers offer an unparalleled view of the outdoors while still obscuring the view into your home. Light-filtering Duette® Cellular Shades are another excellent option that adds an exciting texture layer. Opt for the Top-Down/Bottom-Up system for maximum flexibility.

Dramatic Drapery

Floor-length drapery is synonymous with drama. Ensure your drapes break within half an inch of the floor for the most attractive look. Design Studio™ Side Panels & Drapery are available in luxe fabrics and exclusive designs from leading textile artisans. Choose from premium hardware finishes, including matte black, satin nickel, and brushed bronze.

Consider layering your drapes with roller or Roman shades for an upscale look that enhances functionality. Lightweight linen or cotton drapery is an excellent choice for more casual, airy spaces in your home. Don’t forget to add a light-filtering liner to your drapes to provide additional light control, privacy, and protection from sun damage.

Earthy Elegance

Rooms with bay windows are a perfect home for houseplants. The generous amount of sunshine the windows allow makes for very happy houseplants. You can maintain the earthy, organic vibe with Provenance® Woven Wood Shades. These handwoven shades have a one-of-a-kind personality and beautifully filter incoming sunlight.

Mount them within the frame of the individual sections of your bay window for a neat aesthetic. You can match your woven shades with other wood finishes in the room or use them to ground a bold, colorful space.

Solo Top Treatments

When privacy is not your top priority, you can opt for only a custom cornice or valance for your bay window. Allowing a top treatment to fly solo is a fabulous way to let your bay window take center stage while still looking put together. Top treatments also conceal hardware, giving your home a more pristine aesthetic. Fabric valances are ideal for whimsy, while solid cornices add sophistication to your bay window.
