9 Ideas for Bay Window Treatment
dramatic "stage" effect to showcase special furniture or art, or create a cozy seating nook. If you're using swags on your other window treatments, add one across the front of your bay window as well.
Bay Window Sheers and Solids: If you want to let in sunlight but block the view from prying eyes, double curtain rods can accommodate a sheer that stays closed with solid panel draperies that can be opened or closed for a black-out effect. This is best done on each window inside the bay rather than closing off the entire bay with a single rod.
Bay Window Café Curtains: Depending on your style, sheer café curtains with a fixed rod at the top and bottom can create a cozy casual effect. This can be done with a single fixed panel over each window or with two panels over each window that can be slid apart to take in the view.
Bay Window Shades: A roll-up shade on each window is another option to consider. Shades come in almost any fabric including colored and boldly printed solids that block-out light and view, or a variety of sheers that can filter light while maintaining privacy and protection from sun damage.
Bay Window Valances and Cornices: Valances are an option that can be added to almost any window treatment for a more finished look. Valances can be installed across the front of the bay or follow the curve of the bay above each window. If your bay window runs full height to the ceiling, a cornice across the front can define a secondary space in the bay for intimate seating.
Bay Window Shutters: Wood shutters have made a comeback in recent years for their timeless look, durability and low maintenance. Custom-fitted shutters work as well in a bay window as on a standard window and add a sophisticated touch to any room.
Bay Window Free Standing Screens: Another option, depending on your personal style, is to place a free-standing screen in the bay. Screens come in many varieties from Chinese-style painted wood screens to open frames holding fixed curtains, hanging beads, stained glass panels or lacy carvings. A free-standing screen can provide a lot of versatility with a range of privacy options.
Go Naked! If your bay window frames a spectacular view with no need for privacy or sun protection, don't be afraid to do nothing. Enjoy the view and let nature provide the decoration.
