Bay windows are a gorgeous feature to have in your home, offering wide views, letting in light, and giving your space extra character. 

But when it comes to dressing them up, there are a few options — and you might feel a bit 

Should You Dress Your Bay Windows?

First things first: bay windows are fantastic for soaking your room in sunlight, but you also want to keep your privacy and manage that light, especially when it’s beaming in. You’ll need blinds that can take on the sun’s harsh rays and keep your place cosy when you need it.

Choosing Your Window Dressing

The good news is that there’s no right answer when it comes to dressing your bay windows. Want to go for functional blinds? You got it. Fancy the flowing cosiness of curtains? Absolutely!

Want to really go for it and combine blinds AND curtains? That works too! Not only does this combo look lush, but it also gives you extra control over light and privacy. 

Roller Blinds: The All-Rounder

Roller blinds are a hit for bay windows, and it’s easy to see why. They come in a range of different colours, patterns, and materials – and won’t break the bank either. 

We’re loving the Botanic Brazen Yellow blackout roller blind at the minute, to add a touch of nature to your space.

Roman Blinds: The Elegant Choice

If you’re all about that luxurious feel, you can’t go wrong with Roman blinds. They’re soft, they fold up neatly, and they make sure light doesn’t sneak in the sides, thanks to their made-to-measure fit. Tall bay windows love Roman blinds, especially with a thermal interlining that keeps the heat just where you want it – inside!

For a timeless look in a shade that’s ever-popular at the moment, try the Ian Mankin Ticking Stripe Roman Blind in sage. Classic.

Wood Blinds: The Classic Touch

For a timeless look that’s easy to maintain, wooden blinds are the way to go. Real or faux, they bring a natural charm to your bay windows. The sturdy slats are a breeze to clean, and they’ll keep looking great year after year.

Whichever look you prefer, they’re sure to look stunning in your bay windows. 

Curtains: The Finishing Touch

Curtains offer a soft frame for your bay windows and are a solid choice if you’re keen on keeping that windowsill display. 

We’re forever in love with these Forbidden Forest Sapphire curtains, that add a bold pattern to complement or contrast your space.

Dressing bay windows is all about balancing style, light control, and your personal touch. Whether you go for roller or Roman blinds, add a layer of curtains, or keep it sleek with wooden blinds, you’ll have bay windows that not only look amazing but also work just right for your home.
