Whether your bay windows flood your living room with sunlight during the day or allow a cozy view into your yard from a breakfast nook in the kitchen, bay windows make an impressive impact. Your window treatments should match the elegance and style of your bay window – take a look below for bay window treatment ideas!

Choosing window treatments for bay windows can be difficult. Should each window be treated individually, or should the group be viewed as one large window? Where should shades be mounted? Should we add drapes?

There are no right answers to these questions, and each bay window can be dressed a multitude of ways. Below are a few of our favorite bay window treatment ideas with shades and drapes to provide you with some ideas of inspiration!

For bay windows, it's always a good idea to choose a product with a small headrail for for visual appeal and function. Bulky window treatments with large headrails will protrude far out of your window and will leave large gaps in the corners where your windows meet. Smaller products will fit closer together for more light coverage and privacy. These considerations are dependent on your windows, so working with a design consultant is ideal.

The biggest challenge in covering a bay window is finding a product that is shallow enough to meet closely in the angles where your windows come together.

With a crisp, clean look, cell shades come in many colors, patterns and opacities. They allow for a full view out your bay window, since the folds stack neatly at the top when raised.

Made from natural materials like grasses, bamboo and reeds, woven wood shades can enhance the look of a bay window. Woven Wood Shades are also available with top down bottom up design option for more light control. They’re a very eco-friendly window treatment as well.

A bay window is already an extraordinary feature. Roman Shades give the softness of a drapery with the clean, simple style of shades to highlight your bay window even more. Window Spaces offers more than 1,000 fabrics in a variety of designs, textures, stripes and solids. You can even purchase these fabrics by the yard to match your side treatments, pillows, bedding and coordinated accessories.

Another way to make narrow windows look larger is to mount Roman Shades on the outside, so they maximize the width of the window area. Flat Roman shades mounted close together, form a single visual unit with the bold pattern.

When choosing a window treatment for bay windows, it’s important to consider how much sun is coming through as well as the size and shape of the windows.
