Dressing a stained glass bay window
Comments (10)Hiya, As others have mentioned, a blind or shutter which covers the bottom of the window only, leaving the stained glass to make its own statement could be a really great choice. Lots of people like to put shutters at a bay window as they make a feature of the different facets, and cafe style sit halfway up, allowing you privacy but not covering up your lovely stained glass. We also do something called Trilite Top-Down Bottom-Up Pleated blinds, where tabs mean you can position your blinds anywhere in the window, and even pull them up from the bottom (not just down, as with traditional Pleated blinds). I've attached a picture to show you a little better how these work. It is hard to tell from the pictures whether your window frames are Wooden or uPVC, but in the case of the latter, blinds in PerfectFit frames can also be fitted. This is where they simply clip into your window frame, so each blind perfectly fits the window. You could cover the bottom windows, and leave the stained glass ones undressed and beautiful in their own right. Hope that's given you some inspiration - these pages will explain the blind types in more detail: http://www.hillarys.co.uk/blinds-range/top-down-bottom-up-blinds/ http://www.hillarys.co.uk/shutters-range/cafe-style-shutters/ http://www.hillarys.co.uk/blinds-range/perfectfit-blinds/ Looking forward to seeing how you show off your window, Zoe...See MoreWindow dressing for a box bay window in the bedroom
Comments (7)I think some beautiful white voile for the day time, mounted on a very discreet ceiling mounted track, such as Silentgliss, which can be bent into the bay. I would then put a bay pole in front of this with whichever curtains go with your scheme, using a blackout lining. I would be careful not to have the curtains gathered too full though as you do not have a lot of space to the left of the window to pull them back. Although unconventional, to overcome this problem, you might want to consider having the curtains made to different widths, ie a shorter left curtain and a wider right curtain so that when they are closed they meet at the corner. On a flat window this would be very conspicuous, but your window is unusual....See MoreWindow dressing bay and side window
Comments (1)We've recently had full length curtains in our bay window and a matching Roman blind at the small window. Our small window is not on the same wall as the bay, but it looks really good. We splashed out on made to measure and it was worth every penny....See MoreBay window shutters vs Curtain with voil
Comments (5)I would use top-down/bottom-up insulated cellular blinds on the windows. They are attached at the top of the window, but have double strings. They can be pulled down from the top of the window, but can ALSO be pushed up from the bottom of the window. They can be bunched together in the middle/anywhere from top to bottom if you need to block sun glare. When they are closed they will let diffused light in. They will also help with temperature control when they are closed. The blinds allow you to fully open or fully close the view for each section (left, center, right) at any time. Unlike a roller shade, you can open just the top portion of a top-down/bottom-up blind to preserve privacy when you are sitting or standing in the room. I would put a drapery rod across the top of the wall in front of the bay window and put black-out draperies on it. Make the rod long enough so the draperies are pulled all the way back against the wall and do not block any of the window when they are open. Good luck!...See Moreminnie101
