Pick the Best Shades for Bay Windows
Bay windows are architectural features consisting of one big window adjoined by two smaller ones on each side, forming a kind of nook or bay. These expansive windows fill the room with sunlight and offer captivating views. For these reasons, bay windows have become increasingly sought after by homeowners looking to elevate the home's interior and exterior. Like regular windows, bay windows require window treatments. Shades are ideal for bay windows because of their customizable light control and ability to integrate into interior design seamlessly. Here at Blinds Plus, we offer the best shades for bay windows, such as Roman, cellular, and roller shades. All of these have their unique benefits, so we're here to discuss the details of each:
Add to the Architectural Charm With Roman Shades
Roman shades are a soft window treatment with fabric that gradually folds when raised. Their defining characteristic is that they provide an elegant softness to your decor. Undoubtedly, their style and sophistication add to the charm of bay windows. Further, the smooth operation of Roman shades makes them perfect for bay windows, as the ease of operation does not interfere with the window's unique shape.
Hunter Douglas Vignette® Roman Shades are available in flat or full folds. Full-fold Roman shades, also called waterfall or teardrop, feature continuous fabric folds cascading down the window, creating a luxurious look with more fabric bunching when raised. Conversely, flat-fold Roman shades, also called classic or plain fold, have evenly spaced horizontal folds when lowered, resulting in minimal fabric stacking when raised.
Enjoy More Energy Efficiency With Cellular Shades
Since bay windows can span widths and heights, they are prone to heat loss or gain. Consider cellular shades, which offer fantastic energy efficiency for larger bay windows if this is a concern. They help regulate indoor temperature by trapping air within their cells, creating a barrier of insulation.
Hunter Douglas Duette® Cellular Shades offer even more energy efficiency when customized with Hunter Douglas PowerView® Automation. This option helps save energy by automatically adjusting window shades throughout the day. For example, when the sun shines brightly on hot days, you can program your shades to close to block out excess heat. On the other hand, on cooler days, you can program the shades to open and warm up the space naturally.
Keep It Simple With Roller Shades
Roller shades are versatile window treatments consisting of a single piece of fabric that rolls up and down around a tube. Their compact and unobtrusive nature makes them an excellent choice for bay windows if you want to maintain the architectural beauty of the windows without overwhelming them with bulky treatments. Their simple yet stylish design makes them suitable for various interior styles, from modern to traditional.
