Bay Windows are a popular feature in many homes. They add space and light to a room, but the variety of shapes, depths and angles mean that people are often stumped as to their options for these windows.

​

How to decide how to dress your bay window?

 

What shape is it?

Everyone thinks their bay window is a standard shape- here in South Yorkshire and NE Derbyshire, we estimate there are 7 common shapes, and more shapes that are less common.

 

Why do I want to cover it?

A strange question, but there can be multiple reasons - privacy, insulation, light control, home working space… think about what you wish to achieve.

 

What’s my style?

You can have blinds, curtains or shutters in a bay window.

 

Is it easy to reach?

If you have furniture in your bay window, you may wish to consider motorisation, so you are not climbing over anything to operate your window dressing. If you are thinking curtains, corded rails / poles may be easier than hand draw.
