Design
Ideas For
Bay And
Bow
Windows
 The curtains and window treatments that you pick for
your bow or bay windows are also important. If you want
this design feature in your child’s room, blinds that
feature letters, numbers, shapes and bright colors can
make the window space more attractive. You can also add
oversized pillows, bean bags or a toy chest to the window
space for seating and to store your child’s items neatly. If
the bay windows are in your master bedroom and you’ve
decorated the rest of the room in monochromatic colors,
curtains that have a pattern can make the space come
alive.
 You can also have additional paneling built on the sides
and above the windows for a cottage-style window that
will make your home more welcoming and quaint. The
paneling can be made from medium or light-colored
wood, and you can use sheer curtains to allow the
sunlight to come through the windows without the light
being too overwhelming.
 If you don’t want to use lots of color in the den or living
room, you can have the bay window constructed in a way
that features lots of angles. This brings attention to this
section of the home and you don’t have to worry about
fitting the window for curtains or Roman blinds.
Traditional blinds for these windows are ideal to control
the amount of sunlight that comes into the home and to
maintain your privacy.
