Making the Most of Your Bay Windows

Bay windows add great light and style to any room in your home - they're a great way to make your house feel more spacious and bright, especially if you have a smaller floorplan or are looking for ways to maximize the natural light into your home.

Unfortunately, bay windows aren't all sunshine and good times. They do require upkeep and certain stylistic decisions that normal windows don't face. Bay windows are worth the effort, and The Decorated Wall is here to help! Here are some tips on making the most of your bay windows:

Give Bay Windows the Extra Care and Attention

Your new bay windows will need more care and attention than standard windows because they create an additional area where dirt can collect. This means you will likely have to clean them more often than other types of windows to keep them looking their best.

You may also need to adjust the blinds on your new bay window more often than those on other types of windows because this will help prevent sunlight from entering through these areas as well as reduce glare during the daytime hours when people are spending time in their living rooms or kitchens.

Treat Your Bay Windows

You have a few options when it comes to bay window treatments. You can choose curtains, blinds or shades. Or, you can mix and match all three!

If you choose to make your bay window a focal point in the room, it's important to choose window treatments that enhance the sunlight coming in. Where most of our window treatments work with bay windows, we do have a couple favorites.

Roman Shades in Bay Window

Roman shades are great for blocking light and creating privacy while still allowing sunlight through when needed. Roman shades come in many different styles and colors to perfectly complement any decorating scheme!

The soft folds of Roman shades look particularly good in most bay window setups - the symmetry of raised fabric looks stunning in most room aesthetics.

Roller Shades For Bay Window

Where Roman shades embody a more traditional style, roller shades embrace the modern. Easy to use and clean, these shades are great for anyone looking to add a more modern flair to their home.

Adding energy efficiency is easy with our Sonnette® Roller Shades. Using Hunter Douglas' unique cellular/honeycomb design, these are guarunteed to increase the energy efficiency of your windows; this is particularly useful for large sets of windows like bay windows.
