Perfect as a space for a window seat, a breakfast nook, or as stand-alone architectural feature that welcomes in more light, bay windows are beloved by many homeowners who have them.
Since these windows have unique shapes and measurements, you’ll need a window treatment style that fits to them perfectly, is easy to operate, and comes in custom styles that match the aesthetic of your home.
Many big box stores don’t check all three of these boxes. That’s where Southern Accent Shutters & Blinds come into play. We carry a wide variety of custom, high-quality blinds, shades and made-in-house shutters that that will fit your bay windows beautifully.
Understanding Your Bay Window Style
Before choosing a treatment, it helps to know what kind of bay window you have. While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are key differences that can affect your treatment choices.
- Bay Windows: Typically consist of three windows—a large central picture window flanked by two smaller angled windows (usually at 30, 45, or 60-degree angles). This is the most common style and offers a great balance of light and interior space.
- Bow Windows: Instead of three panes, a bow window is a graceful curve created by multiple windows of equal size joined at shallow angles. This creates a more rounded, panoramic view and a softer architectural statement.
- Box Bay Windows: These feature a flat, 90-degree front with a central window and two side windows that are perpendicular to the wall. They create a dramatic geometric look and are often found on kitchen sinks
At Southern Accents, our consultants are experts in measuring all window types to ensure a flawless fit, no matter the style.
Shades for Bay Windows
Have you ever noticed that the area surrounding your bay window is cold in the winter and sweltering in the summer? Since bay windows consist of three large panes of glass, there is plenty of opportunity for air to creep in and seep out.
Shutters for Bay Windows
Though unique, bay windows look beautiful with a classic shutter. Our custom, hand-built shutters are available in two different styles perfect for any space.
Our real wood shutters give a high-end appeal with a cabinet-grade finish. We craft them with features big-box stores can’t match. Featuring biscuited joints for unmatched strength, full 4” rails for durability, and rabbeted stiles that allow panels to overlap seamlessly on your bay window’s angles, you can select from 2-1/2”, 3-1/2” or 4-1/2” contoured louvers. For a clean, minimalist look, upgrade to our Hidden Tilt mechanism on larger louvers, which tucks the tilt-rod out of sight.
Our Poly Resin Shutters give you that classic look while adding incredible strength and family-friendly benefits backed by a 25-Year Warranty. Great for high-humidity areas like bathrooms and kitchens, homes with children, or anyone wanting a virtually maintenance-free shutter, our Poly Resin shutters come with a durable UltraSatin™ finish that will never need repainting. Available in the same three louver sizes as our wood shutters, they offer a beautiful, worry-free solution that stands the test of time.
Blinds for Bay Windows
If your bay window is in a bustling kitchen or busy kids’ room, you’ll love the beauty and durability of our Faux Wood Blinds. With natural-hued grains and solid colors, our blinds look exceptionally similar to genuine wood blinds with added durability, such as moisture resistance. So, whether you place them in a high-traffic area or a space where heat and humidity are common, these budget-friendly blinds will look beautiful throughout the years. Another perk? These blinds come with five control options, including Tilt/Lift Cords, Cordless Lift, Lift and Lock, Remote Tilt Motorized, and Wand Tilt, so that you can find the easiest and safest operation for your home.
