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!
Contemporary Shades accent Bay Windows design.
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.
