5 Ways to Dress Up Bay Windows

5 Ways to Dress Up Bay Windows

Bow and bay windows in Cincinnati are the most versatile window styles. If you’re looking for ways to dress up or accessorize your bay or bow windows, Renewal by Andersen is here with some inspiration:

5 Ways to Dress Up Bay Windows

  1. Shutters or Blinds: These window treatments may sound basic, but the right kind of shutters or blinds can take your bay window to a new aesthetic level. The key is in the materials; instead of the typical PVC or aluminum blinds, choose natural wood ones. They look great with our stainable pine, oak, or maple interior finishes. For tall bay windows, consider adding shutters to just the lower halves, with the tops acting as clerestory windows.
  2. Add Curtains to Roman Blinds: Roman blinds and bay windows are always a great combination. By themselves, Roman blinds are perfect for controlling privacy and sunlight. Add curtains with bold patterns or striking colors for an interesting visual texture to your bay windows. Consider adding valances to hide the curtain rods.
  3. Add a Picture Window: Picture windows are simple, fixed windows that provide indoor lighting. They give you more freedom to choose window treatments without worrying about making your living space too dark. Renewal by Andersen® builds specialty windows for uniquely shaped picture windows.
  4. Top Treatment: If you use your bay windows for everyday seating, installing simple window treatments at the top such as short curtains is the best option. This way, anyone sitting on the window seats won’t have to push curtains out of the way.
  5. Floor-to-Ceiling Curtains: Add a dash of elegance by installing full-length curtains across your bay windows. Royal blue or other deep, dark colors create a nice contrast, especially if you have light-colored window frames. Dark colors are best for blocking sunlight, perfect for when you want to sleep in.
