3 Ways Bay Window Treatments Will Transform Your Home
Having bay windows in your home is a wonderful thing, but some homeowners don’t take advantage of them. The right blinds for day windows or bay window shades turn these architectural features into focal points, and you’ll likely get more use from them as well. The E.d.’s paint & decorating design team always enjoys working on these projects—we also like championing their benefits to our clients.
1. Bay Window Treatments Creating Visual Impact
Careful window treatment color selection is important since you’re turning your bay window into a focal point. Light-colored blinds for bay windows reflect sunlight, making spaces appear larger and more open. Darker shades create a cozy, intimate atmosphere for bedrooms and reading nooks. Think about texture, too; it adds even more visual interest to windows.
For a balanced aesthetic, coordinate your bay window shades with your existing color palette and introduce complementary textures.
2. Bay Window Treatments Enhance Architectural Features
The right bay window treatments also highlight a home's overall architectural character.
- Cellular bay window shades follow the angular construction precisely, emphasizing clean lines.
- Streamlined bay window roller shades won’t compete with ornate window frames.
- Drapery panels hung outside a bay window will create a dramatic frame.
Also, consider the window's placement in your home. Street-facing bay windows might need room-darkening, opaque treatments that balance privacy with light control. Treatments for bay windows overlooking private gardens might be sheer, focusing more on the outside view.
3. Bay Window Treatments Perform Well
Beyond their stunning appearances, Hunter Douglas shades and blinds for bay windows improve home comfort and energy efficiency. For example, their honeycomb shades provide excellent insulation, keeping rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Go with solar shades if you need extra light, UV rays, and glare control.
Motorization is available on most Hunter Douglas window coverings, including certain bay window styles. It works with programmable settings, voice control, apps, and remote operation. You can open, close, or adjust them on the spot, away from home, or in advance. Talk about exceptional performance!
Frequently Asked Questions About Bay Window Treatments
Q. What's the best window treatment for an angled bay window?
A. Cellular shades and roller blinds work well on angled bay windows because we custom-fit them to each section.
Q. Can I install curtains on bay windows?
A. Our team can install drapery panels on individual sections or a custom rod that follows the window's shape. Another option is mounting a straight curtain rod above the entire bay.
Q. How do I measure bay windows for treatments?
A. We measure each window section separately for width and height. For inside mounts, measure at three points (top, middle, bottom) and use the narrowest measurement for width and the tallest for height. E.d.’s paint & decorating offers professional installation services on the products we sell.
