What Are the Best Window Treatments for Bay Windows?

While bay windows are already aesthetically appealing on their own, adding window treatments can make them look more interesting. Adding the right shades can enhance the beauty of your bay windows and give you added privacy.

Here are bay window treatment ideas from a trusted provider of home replacement windows.

Woven Wood Shades

Wood shades are usually made from bamboo, grasses and reeds. For more light control, you can use them with a room-darkener liner or light-colored drapes. This option is eco-friendly and also complements any decor and home style.

Sheers

Sheer fabrics are great for bay windows because they won’t block your outdoor view as much and they also subtly filter natural light. If you’re planning a casement window replacement, this treatment complements that style as well.

Shutters

Aside from being durable, shutters help in blocking unwanted outdoor noise and improve your home’s energy efficiency. Quality shutters can withstand damage from harsh sunlight and humidity. Some products also offer 99 percent ultraviolet ray protection when the louvers are closed, which can help prevent your furnishings, decor and flooring from fading.

Roman Shades 

Roman shades merge the softness of drapes with the simple features of shades to accentuate your bay windows. For a layered look, you can combine Roman shades with curtains. You make your walls look taller by mounting the curtains high on the wall. To create a unified feeling within the space, choose colors or patterns for the treatment that looks similar to other elements in the room.
