Bay windows are a beautiful feature in any home. They let in plenty of natural light, open a space, and add architectural interest. But when it comes to dressing them, finding a solution that looks great and works practically can be tricky. That’s why so many people now choose bay window shutters. We design and fit them to suit your window’s unique shape, giving you control over light, privacy, and temperature all while looking great.
What’s the Best Way to Dress Bay Windows?
If you’ve been searching online for ways to dress a bay window without blocking light or losing privacy, you’re not alone. Bay windows are beautiful, but they can be tricky to style. Curtains often bunch up awkwardly, and off-the-shelf blinds rarely fit well.
That’s why more and more homeowners are turning to bay window shutters. They offer a practical solution with a sleek, stylish finish. Here’s why they work so well:
- They fit perfectly with your window’s shape and angles
- You can control the light throughout the day without losing privacy
- They help keep rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer
- They instantly elevate your kerb appeal
Shutters give bay windows a built-in finish that suits everything from period properties to modern homes perfect for both new homeowners and those updating a tired space.
Types of Bay Window Shutters
Different styles suit different tastes and needs. Let’s explore your options:
1. Full Height Shutters
These cover the entire height of your bay window. They work well for creating a clean, elegant look, especially in living rooms and bedrooms.
- Great for insulation and privacy
- Can be split with a mid-rail for flexible light control
- Available in a wide range of colours and finishes
2. Tier-on-Tier Shutters
This style features two sets of shutters, one on top of the other. Each tier opens independently, giving you complete control over light and privacy.
- Ideal for street-facing bay windows
- Lets in light at the top while keeping the bottom closed for privacy
- Offers more flexibility than full-height or cafe-style shutters
3. Café Style Shutters
Covering only the bottom half of your window, café style shutters let natural light flood in through the top.
- A popular choice for kitchens, dining rooms and ground floor spaces
- Adds a charming, continental feel
- Works well in combination with curtains if you want a layered look
4. Tracked Shutters
For wider bay windows or those that span doors, tracked shutters operate on a track, making them easy to open and close.
- Ideal for large or curved bay windows
- Smooth gliding mechanism
- Perfect for open-plan living spaces
