Our Favorite Drapery Ideas for Bay Windows

Bay windows bring in stunning natural light, frame breathtaking views outdoors, and add architectural character to any East Tennessee home. However, they may also pose a design challenge for homeowners seeking privacy and light control.

Though unique, bay windows can be easily and beautifully covered with custom window treatments from our expansive collection, with guidance from our experts at All About Blinds.

Drapery Paired With Roman Shades

Pairing Carole™ Fabrics Custom Drapery with Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades creates a soft, stately atmosphere that’s perfect for bay windows in living rooms, dining rooms, or bedrooms.

Other advantages of drapery and Roman shades for bay windows include:

• Adding softness while preserving the bay window's architectural shape.
• Balancing decorative style with privacy and light control.
• Working well in formal and casual spaces.
  

Drapes and Woven Wood Shades

If you want a layered look with a unique, organic aesthetic, Hunter Douglas Provenance® Woven Wood Shades pair wonderfully with neutral, patterned, or colorful drapery. The natural texture of the woven shades adds dimension to the window shape, while custom drapes frame the window and add a brush of softness.

The artisanal weaves of the shades for bay windows even transform sunlight exquisitely as it hits each pane.

This combination of drapery and window shades for bay windows provides other benefits like:

• Introducing texture and warmth to the window in a room that may feel “flat.”
• Creating a layered look with depth and visual interest for a touch of drama.
• Fitting well with casual, transitional, and nature-inspired interiors.
  

Custom Drapery Panels Layered With Solar Shades

If your bay window is on a particularly sunny side of the house, Hunter Douglas Designer Screen Shades help block damaging UV rays without reducing natural light. When paired with drapery, these minimalist shades enjoy visual intrigue and dimension.

The thick fabrics of the drapery also help reduce heat gain in the summer and energy loss in the winter, keeping the room comfortable year-round.

Go with custom drapery panels with screen or solar shades to enjoy additional advantages, such as:

• Helping control sunlight and reduce glare.
• Keeping the bay window feeling clean but not stark.
• Complementing several interior design styles from modern to transitional.
