Shutters on Leaded Windows
I have diamond leaded bay windows and I would like shutters. Would they look ok? I’ve seen a few pictures online but not many. Would appreciate anyone’s opinion before I invest money in these.

3 years agoHow lovely are shutters? I want to have them on my leaded bay window once the curtains have had it. I’ve found some images for you and hope these will help.

Comments (6)I only have an issue with our bedroom which has extremely thick curtains (others either have blinds that aren't shut or a couple have solid shutters). I've got Venetian windows so security isn't a risk but we've found leaving the windows slightly ajar throughout the night when we remember (!) completely prevents it. That may not be an option so you should find that if the heating is kept at a low constant temperature it will prevent it. What type of window treatments do you have? Shutters are meant to be good for circulation whereas heavy curtains are obviously not!...See MoreDressing diamond lead Windows
Comments (6)In my experience - these type of windows work well with curtains that, when open, sit on the wall not in front of the window - or Roman blinds positioned above the window, high enough for the folds to be on the wall not in the window. This is because, due to the lead, these windows let in less daylight than ordinary windows - so you need to make the best of any light that does come in by not covering with fabric - so oversized rods and more fabric if doing curtains and longer romans! Looks a fab home ! Good luck with the move ! (Come and find me on Houzz if you need a concept planner for interior layouts etc ! )...See Morewindows - help...lead or no lead

Comments (4)We had lots of leading in ours when we moved in - have recently had most replaced and the increase in the amount of light we get now is incredible considering the lead strips aren’t very thick. We do have a slight combination in that the windows which form part of the patio doors ( above them) are still leaded, as is our bathroom, but I actually don’t think it looks odd at all. personally I’d never opt for leaded now through choice. I’ll try and attach a pic…...See Moreminnie101

3 years agoI have a 1930s house with rectangular leaded windows- one bay and one straight. Both have shutters. I honestly don’t notice a clash. Having said that, I’m not sure I would feel the same if we had diamond leaded windows.
I would be hesitant changing part of a window to plain glass as I think this would look more odd from the outside.
I attach pictures of mine for reference.
