What Are Bay Windows?

Bay windows are windows that protrude from the external wall of your home, joining together in a curve or angle. This projection creates a small alcove or bay inside of your home that is surrounded by windows on all sides.  They use three window panes; a central picture window flanked by two rectangular side windows. If you have 4 or more casement windows that are the same size, then that window would be considered a bow window rather than a bay window.

Make the Most of Your Bay Windows

Your bay windows don’t just look impressive; they also add extra space and light. Make sure to take advantage of that extra space! How you do so could also impact the bay window treatments you select. Consider creating a:

  • Small study or writing area
  • Sitting area that faces the windows
  • Reading nook
  • Craft space
  • Breakfast nook
  • Window seat with storage

Best Hunter Douglas Bay Window Treatments

Selecting window treatments for your bay windows doesn’t have to be complicated. Hunter Douglas has many options that can go on your bay windows. But it’s a good idea to know what you prioritize, how you want to use the finished space, and the look you want it to have; that way, you can choose the most optimal window treatment options for your windows.

Create a Lux Space Cultivated to Your Needs

For luxury and sophistication, consider Hunter Douglas Parkland® Wood Blinds for your bay window treatments. The beautifully crafted hardwood blocks out light and provides UV protection while adding warmth and elegance with the texture of real hardwood.

Add Softness and Warmth

Using Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman shades as bay window treatments can accentuate the space with luxurious fabric folds that draw the eye of any guest. The soft folds of fabric in these shades, available in a wide range of designer patterns, serve as an amazing fashionable accent to your interior design.  They also help absorb sound and can insulate the window. Choose from sheer to room-darkening fabrics to balance your view with privacy.

Let In the Light

If you want to enjoy the view through your bay windows treatments, consider Silhouette® Sheer Shades. They use two sheer layers of fabric with an S-shaped vane between them that twists to transform the incoming light. You can adjust these shades to curate the perfect level of light and privacy in your home.

Finish Your Bay Window Treatments with Drapery

Drapery adds drama and warmth. They also add emphasis to the space and make the room look bigger. Layer your window treatments with long drapery that starts above the bay windows and extends out past them. This adds additional ways to balance light and privacy, as well.
