Window Dressing Ideas for Bay Windows

The thing with styling a window is that it should not be underrated as a task. It is something that can make a real difference to the overall look and feel of your space. With this in mind, we are going to take a look at how you can make your living space look extra special, just by applying some simple window-dressing ideas to your bay windows.

Bay Window Blinds

When looking for blinds for your bay windows you have plenty of choices. Wooden shutters can look so classy and understated on bay windows and could be a good place to start. They help encourage that ‘natural’ look and will blend well with most types of interior designs. 

Roman blinds in a block colour of your choice is a simple way to inject a nice bit of colour into a room, and a way of doing so without using any wallpaper or paint. Linen Roman blinds add a wonderful element of light texture and again are available in a massive range of fetching colours that are sure to lift your bay windows to the next level.

Alternatively, you may like to consider vertical blinds for a clean and understated style. The option of this blind is becoming increasingly popular in homes (it used to be more associated with office spaces) as it allows for privacy as well as protection from the sun while strengthening the magnificent style and height that bay windows offer.

Curtains for Bay Windows 

Curtains are generally a good fit for bay windows as they act as a frame, while still offering a distinctive style to cover your windows with. With curtains, you have a choice of colours and patterns to choose from which is practically unlimited, and a selection of linings such as blackout and thermal options.

You will be able to find something that matches the look you are trying to achieve. Note that on bay windows, full-length curtains will look best as they add to the height of your windows. Where you have more than one window to dress, it is best to have a separate curtain for each one.

Made-to-Measure Blinds

A great way to obtain your blinds is by using a local made-to-measure service. You can have someone come to your home, measure up your bay windows, and provide bespoke blinds of your chosen type. Remember, if you are choosing made-to-measure blinds you can ensure you have blinds that will fit your window snuggly and perfectly. Bespoke blinds come highly recommended.

A Combination of Curtains & Blinds

A popular choice for bay windows is to have a combination of both curtains and blinds. This can be a great look. Just make sure your blinds and curtains complement each other and don’t clash.
