4 Tips for Styling a Bow or Bay Window
Bow and bay windows provide more than just curb appeal to your home. These large windows add character, natural light, and improve the view inside the house. However, styling these windows can be challenging due to their unique shape. Thankfully, the experts at The Blind Shop of Youngstown, OH, have the know-how and expertise to give you the best bow or bay window on the block.
1. Opt for Window Seating
As mentioned, boy and bay windows take up a generous amount of space-so why not embrace that? One of our top tips for styling a bow or bay window is to transform it into a cozy seating area with plush cushions that complement your home’s interiors. This allows you to maximize the use of the space and add a touch ofluxury for reading, unwinding, or enjoying your views.
Want to take it up a notch? Consider adding large blinds from Hunter Douglas that improves both form and function. With an array of colors and shapes, you can choose one that fits your personality and space. Meanwhile, adjustable blinds make it simple to let in just the right amount of sunlight, whether you’re reading a book or chatting with a friend by the window.
2. Pick the Right Window Treatments
Next on our list of tips for styling a bow or bay window is to select window treatments that enhance its architectural beauty. Since these large windows let in a lot of light, we recommend layering Silhouette® Sheer Shades with Carole Fabrics™ Custom Drapes from Hunter Douglas. Silhouette® Sheer Shades allow you to enjoy soft, natural lighting without any harsh glare. Plus, with custom drapery, you can enjoy even more privacy, light control, and even noise control, transforming your nook into a paradise away from the world.
3. Let the Window Take Center Stage
Design is a give-and-take process. If you have a ruby-red statement wall, adding warm-colored drapery and carpeting may overtake the space. Similarly, surrounding your window with large furniture can make the layout feel cramped. Allow your bow or bay windows to be the star of a room and take center stage by opting for smaller, versatile furniture that complements the window's shape and accentuates the view, such as small chairs or a console table that doesn’t obstruct the window itself.
4. Get Decorative When Styling a Bow or Bay Window
Many tips for styling a bow or bay window involve enhancing its beauty because it’s such an architectural gem. To do this, you can install intricate molding or trim around the windows for an elegant frame. Or you can place decorative accents like vases, sculptures, or potted plants on the windowsills to add a personal touch that makes the space welcoming and homey.
Hunter Douglas shades and blinds can also help bring your bay window setting to life. Frame each side of your window with a chic set of shades or drapes for a stylish twist. You can also pair your bay or bow window with a set of large blinds based on a color or shape that complements the rest of your décor.
