Modern Bay Window Treatments
There are a great many things that bay windows can add to your home. More windows mean more natural sunlight of course and expanded views. Smartly placed bay windows improve interior quality by improving natural ventilation. They add to the space of a room and the style of that space. And while we’re all probably familiar with why we love these specialty windows, did you know that many of the benefits you love can actually be improved with new bay window treatments? At Don’s Drapery Service, we feature three of our favorite features of bay windows below plus expert tips on how the right bay window treatment will help expand the benefits in your home.
3 Benefits Enhanced by Bay Window Treatments
1. Added Natural Light
Having more natural sunlight for interior spaces is a major benefit of bay windows. However, abundant natural sunlight can be a blessing and a curse. Raw sunlight brings with it UV rays that can damage flooring, furniture, and décor. Additionally direct sunlight has glare and adds solar heat, both of which can make the interior space uncomfortable for residents. That’s why dressing bay windows can be vital to creating a comfortable interior environment.
- Bay window treatments can control light in a number of different ways including deflection like with interior shutters or filtration like with solar shades.
2. Architectural Detailing
Bay windows are architectural pieces visible from inside and outside a home, so accordingly they influence the aesthetics of both interior design and exterior style. Bay windows are a unique visual element in that rooms rarely have more than one. They are also unique, in that many bay windows are custom-made to fit in individual homes, so their look is not replicated throughout the neighborhood. Bay window treatments can enhance the look of bay windows so long as they are smartly designed to complement the window feature but not overwhelm it.
- Custom Roman shades offer a wide range of fabric choices to seamlessly match existing interior décor while wood shutters and blinds are great for any specialty window shapes as they’re easily formed to any number of specialty shapes including arches, angles, trapezoids, and corner windows.
3. More Spacious Interiors
Bay windows not only add more physical space to a room, they also make rooms feel larger thanks to the addition of more natural sunlight and a clear view out to the wide-open world outside. Ergo, bay window treatments that can maintain a view and share the window’s love of natural light will work best in the space.
- Solar shades and sheer shadings both use view-through textiles. The translucent textiles don’t block the view but do filter out UV and obscure the view in so homeowners can continue to enjoy the more spacious feel that bay windows provide without sacrificing protection or privacy.
